European Delivery
So I'm thinking my next car will be an M2. I plan on doing ED as I will be in Germany for a week in September of this year. My question is, when should I order the car and how good is BMW at guaranteeing a date? The week I will be there in not flexible, so do you think it's possible to get an ED within that time frame?

I had trouble finding an m3 allocation last year but I'm sure I can do the same with the M2 where I emailed about 50 dealerships. Also if things go well, ED allocations will be separate from US. Trust me if you don't mind going out of state, you can find allocations. These 1 horse town BMW dealers don't nearly have enough wealthy clients to have a list for an M2. Bimmer post is not a good sample to indicate whether or not there is going to be a huge demand. I'm sure a lot of the people who had to be on a waiting list live in big city. I wouldn't even bother with my local dealer here in Miami. Call a BMW dealer in Nevada and see if they have a "waiting list"

XRAVE is right. Los Angeles is a nightmare for ordering M2. Particularly when you tell them you're doing an ED. I went out of state and have two deposits placed.
With EDs you can schedule them 90 days out from signing the paperwork. I would get a deposit or two down now. You can always defer it if they call you too early.

I think you can get the date you want if you do ED.
However, if you look for a BMW M2 for ED, I would do as you said: contact dealers that can accomodate you for your dates before most US cars are sold. It should not be a real problem now, but I would not wait longer. Good luck! |

If allocations are sporadic, then I would make sure your dealer is willing to do the leg work to make sure that special sales will grab the allocation in advance of the actual delivery date.

Are there really long waiting lists for this car like the GT3RS and GT4 cayman or can you get a car within a few months as allocations are released?

2 Dealers I spoke with had 4+ people in line. They are both small dealerships and are getting about 1 allocation a month.

Unless they announce that they will increase production or people fall off the list, expect to wait 8-12 months for delivery. Also plan on getting no discount off MSRP and paying 7-800 a month on a lease.

I doubt it for a couple of reasons; but, primarily, because of the constraints imposed on the cars production at the Leipzig factory. That subject was discussed at length on this thread: http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1210373 |

Just got an update from the CA at one dealership. They will be offering ED, but for their initial allocations they will be asking US MSRP, not ED MSRP for the M2.

If they mark up the car 5% to US MSRP, chances are they would mark up US MSRP too

I think a good way to look at the dealer/BMWNA relationship is when it comes to the dealer, the only thing BMW cares about is that the dealer remains solvent and operational. How the dealer does that is, for all intents and purposes, up to the dealer. |

No chance this car will ever be available without a dealer allocation. Leipzig would not be able to handle the demand. I'm guessing half the orders would be euro deliveries. They can't even meet demand as is. Much less if they open the doors to more orders. But who knows. Maybe they anticipated this and kept production low for allocated cars. One can dream right?
