We did 4 EDs and blasted onto the Autobahn immediately after delivery. Never one issue with any of those cars. Break in is BS. I’m still pissed ED was cancelled. Would have loved to take our son on one of our ED adventures.

You can still do Performance Center Delivery, not as kool as Euro Delivery but still a nice experience.

We've done both.

Very cool color combo! Rare for sure

Here you go!

Beautiful! BMW Bear looks happy too! Thanks for posting. Such a great color combination!

DarkstarZero · 03-04-2024, 09:25 AM

BMW European Delivery died because dealerships refused to sell them, because the dealership wouldn't get credit for the sale, not because of lack of customer interest as BMW thinks.

Porsche and Volvo still do ED.

We really need a timeline post on how these seats hold up with the kid. I know there is a lot of misconceptions on the silverstone being trashed and colors transferring from clothes etc, but atleast now we have someone with a small child and as they grow older Im hoping you could share with us how these seats hold up.

Thanks

Mine wasn't an M, but it still had break-in recommendations in the manual. I was doing 125+ on the Autobahn in the first hour. No issues ever arose from that.

They've taken that away too unless you buy a car produced across the street. In other words, you must take delivery of an X3/4/5/6/7.

Dang really ? When did this happen? I know they had to pause it last winter due to a lot of backlog but figured that they would bring it back. Maybe we should open a petition to bring it back and send it to BMWNA. Power to the people !!!

Last fall. Some people who were in the queue will still be able to get cars there probably through about mid-late this year. Petition likely won't do anything.

Tremendous, OP! What an occasion that must have been. Lovely hue and classy interior--top-flight choice. A proper machine. Enjoy!

Usually free but you pay for tickets, hotel and time off work.
