How no Euro Delivery has changed my purchase habits
When the F80 was released I got the first allocation I could with Euro Delivery. I had never seen an M3 before ordering and picking up my car at The Welt. I did the same thing with the M2. Both trips included family members.
With the G80, going to be patient. I have zero urgency. Possibly even wait until I can see a car at the dealer, maybe even a test drive. At the same time, I am considering the new CT5V / CT4V or going a completely different route - 7MT Ford Bronco and doing the off-road school and taking my kids along. No way, I would even be looking around, but here I am waiting and not feeling any urgency to get a spot for Spring. |

I’ve bought all my US BMWs as euro delivery starting well before the Welt existed. Absolutely love the experience and I’ve gotten some of my friends hooked on it as well. It’s very special and strengthens the bond between the buyer and the BMW brand immensely.
That said, it will not change anything in my buying habits other than missing out on the fantastic experience. I’m not going to punish myself with actions to make a point. It’s just a sad change that I’m ready to accept and move on but will always miss. Hopefully it will make a come back one day. |

I miss Euro delivery dearly, but it hasn't stopped me from buying BMWs as well. It only affects my vacation plans and what time of year I buy new cars. |

Picked my F82 at the Welt in June 14. It wasn't my first M car but the European adventure was very special and all my stories just added to me ( and my wife) being an advocate for the brand. I hope they bring it back....
As to the G82.... The lack of ED hasn't prevented me from getting allocation - I just don't feel the passion for this car.. let's see if it changes when I see one. |

If the G80 cars sell, BMW dealers may not have any unsold cars to use as “demonstrators” for quite a while. |
