European Delivery (ED) from BMW Canada

[ASU]

I am currently looking into doing a ED this summer. There seems to be very little in the way of exact details on how the program works, discounts etc. I am looking for anyone in Canada that has purchased a BMW under the ED program and even better if you have taken the trip already. The web site is way to general.

I have asked my sales rep to put this together for me but I am told the program has recently changed and she is researching it for. I expect more details in a week or so.

If anyone knows,

1. Is there a formal discount program similar to the US?
2. What do they cover and don't cover.
3. On the second delivery (sending your car to your dealer after your trip), I understand it takes 4-6 weeks - Is this true?
4. If it takes 4-6 weeks, if you leased are you actually making payments for the car while it is transit?
5. Was it good for you?
6. Is anyone else having a hard time getting the details?

Thanks and I look forward to your comments

1. When I looked into this in 2008, there was a substantial discount off MSRP (dare i say 8-10%???)
2. Not sure what you mean, but you have full warranty while in Europe. They give you European car insurance for a certain time period (again, is it 2 weeks?)
3. It would take 4-6 weeks for sure, it has to be boated back to Canada then railed to dealer.
4. I am sure that you need to have all financing (payment) complete prior to picking it up, so yes, you would be making payments while she's on the boat.


Good luck, I am sure you'd enjoy it tremendously!!
