      Man, that is sick. I would love to do that. Maybe when I get my next bimmer I will do that. :) Do they only ship to certain ports - or do they make it simpler? man, if they came to NH or ME, that would be easy.

        Awesome experience, congratulations. I had the opportunity to do this and passed, twice! I'll probably never do it now because I despise the direction BMW is going with their new cars.

          When the deliver rep hit the button and the spotlight shone down, was there any angelic music playing?

                I heard about that program before. Mercedes now does it too, Im told. I was told it's 5000 off. But is this only if you buy it from them outright?

                Too hard to get a loan nowadays :)

                  Mercedes/Audi/Porsche does it too.

                  The difference from US MSRP to ED (Euro Delivery) MSRP is about $3-4k

                  My car would've stickered at $46k, I paid $37k +tax
                  Got every option except park distance control and Premium Package, I have everything else (i-drive/heated seats/sports pack/premium sound/blueteeth).

                  I was gone for 10 days, covered 4 countries and 1,366 miles when I dropped it off at HARMS. I made it a point to do 120 or better in each country as well.

                  I did have a ticket to the ring but did not realize that my last leg of the trip from Bra Cuneo, Italy to Munich, Germany was 7 hours. Nürburg was another 4 hours on top of those 7 hours, and I'll tell you, 7 hours already on pitch dark, mountain highways/high speed turns, trying to keep pace with traffic at 90-120 is exhausting.

                  Then the public access to Nürburgring doesnt begin till 5pm and if there's a collision, then the track is shut down, and its a long 4 hour drive back to Munich in anger.

                      What's that?

                      As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                      You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

                        yea, I want to know about the shipping too!

                        wow, that is an amazing vacation! How long before your baby arrives stateside? Do you pick it up in Charleston, or Spartenbug, or what?

                          Shipping is included in the euro delivery price just as it is with any new BMW purchase-it's the standard shipping cost that is added to every purchase.

                          Although I have never done euro delivery, I have read up on it over the years and did consider it on a couple of my new BMW purchases. It's a great program that saves you money on the car and can make for a nice vacation.
