Furthest-out European delivery pickup date

sb1805 · 01-11-2016, 06:54 PM

My understanding is that European delivery can be scheduled up to 5 months in advance of the pickup date, but I found out that BMW is not yet scheduling ED for June. Are people having similar experiences right now?

Not a direct answer, but I negotiated my deal early October 2015 for April 2016 delivery. I didn't place the actual order until December 30. I was at 112 status with PW 15. After I received my confirmed pick-up date/time at the Welt, I was changed to 111 status. Just a waiting game now.

FWIW - I scheduled my factory tour and Log In Out drop off time already.

I appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

In 2011 when we did our last ED, the furthest out that BMW allowed was six months. On the BMW USA website, they recommended allowing at least three months.

This may have changed more recently, but I haven't seen anything that would indicate otherwise.

My CA sent in my ED paperwork in mid-December for an ED in May. He got an email back from a BMW European Delivery Specialist saying they had to wait until the first week in January to schedule ED for May. Based on that, I'd guess a June ED couldn't be scheduled until February.

It is kind of a two step process. Your ED date is really tentative until your CA sends in the purchase order form, which needs to be done at least 30 days before delivery. 5 months is what I've heard to. Unless you go in August and that would be a 2017 which can't get scheduled until June since pricing and allocations won't even be released yet. Went through that headache myself.

Has anyone been able to confirm a June 2016 ED date yet?

Not yet, I've placed my order per say, but don't have a production number yet... was told Feb. allocation was the soonest for the June delivery. So we'll see.
