I'm opening this thread to gather everyone who is planning European Delivery with their M2. BMW has confirmed my delivery on 9/13, so I'm beyond excited!

Anyone else able to make the trip a reality so far?

Side notes: My dealer kept their promise of Euro Delivery at Euro Delivery discount price, so to everyone out there, it's possible! My CA has been stellar but he's also done this many times. I placed a deposit Feb/2016 and was #2 or 3 on the list.

My build:
2017
LBB
6MT
Apple CarPlay (if available)
No Packages or Performance Parts (stripper)

I am experiencing a little uncertainty. My dealer has an allocation for my M2 and build week for the 2nd week of July. However, I am still status 047 (order submitted/not yet accepted?) so I don't have an order # or a confirmed delivery day. My CA, who is great by the way, says he's waiting for it to be advanced on the system and its out of his hands. He has shown me the screens and has submitted my order so I totally believe him. He says don't worry about it. Anyone else getting the same vibe?

[///M²]

Yup, no allocation!

You might want to call the BMW Genius line. If its not in 112 status by now I highly doubt its going to be built in 2 weeks.

Nope. The minute an allocation is given, a dealer gets a production number/week. Sounds to me like someone else has that particular production slot.

Awesome I got a sept build slot. I am in the process of selecting my dates now for September/Oct ED. I want to arrive during OktoberFest. I will update when confirmed.

But my build will be similar to OP. LBB, 6MT. No exec.

I'm wanting to do a ED next August/September. That's a long way away I know, and will be a 2018 MY. I've talked to my local dealer but it's so far out they aren't taking deposits or anything. When do you think I should push for some sort of deposit/slot?

Now.

I placed a deposit with my dealer end of July 2015. Will be a year in a month.

[Toasterthief]

Mine said I could potentially do ED next Spring/early summer.

[bm2]

I had ordered a MY16 with build and deposit back in March with no production number. At this point in the game, still no prod number, do I still get a MY16 with its 4yr maintenance program, or get the new MY17 with the 3yr program?

[ben_lzn]

I have a ED pick up scheduled on August 10th

I placed a deposit on October 2015 but will not get the Euro Delivery discount (I will pay the regular US MSRP).

My build:
2017
Mineral Grey
6MT
Apple CarPlay (if available)
Executive Package

Once you get an allocation you should receive a production number. Did you get an allocation?

Have you ever been to Oktoberfest? Munich hotels/hostels/airBnB all fill up pretty fast and prices skyrocket, so I'd book early. I was there in 2014 around the opening days and the beer halls were filled to capacity so we struggled to get a seat and a stein of beer. When we did find a seat, it was outside in the rain. If I were to do it again I would not go during the opening week.

[bm2]

No allocation nor prod number!

[FAN_F1]

Whoa...

You are in for the bucket list experience of your life!!!

Just did my ED and I'm still living in those moments!

Get in touch with Genius and try to get more details.

I had my VIN about 1.5 weeks before production and if you're still 047 right now then there is no way you're getting a car built in July. Sorry.

Yes I have, during my 2011 ED on my e90 M3.

I actually changed my ED date to first week of October. This will be after Oktober fest and less hectic in Munich.

[Thevintage]

I was at the BMW Welt today,heard a familiar sound,raced up the stairs to see a European Delivery of LBB M2.

Wish it was mine not due til November,factory tour was great,Museum not bad as well.

[bm2]

So I got a number one spot with a production number from a customer that dropped out! Code 112. Reading about the ED is this still possible for me!? Built doesnt start til week 30 according to Bmw Genius!!!

So living in Southern AZ this may put me in a bit of a unique position but does anyone care about the winter tires? I had thought about ED back in Jan/Feb but figured at best I would get a car in the fall. Looking back I would have been lucky to get delivery in the fall. Anyway one of the deal breakers for me was that they put snow tires on starting in October? Living in Southern AZ I have no use for snow tires ever! I factored this into the cost equation (pulling off perfectly good snow tires and buying new Pilots once I got home). I figured this was good for at least $1500 or so. Or I could wait till the spring (no way). I guess if I lived in the North East it might be a non issue.

You rent the snow tires over there they don't come from the factory with them.

I feared a winter allocation and was ready to give up my allocation for a delivery in spring/summer 2017. I told myself I wouldn't buy this car without Euro Delivery, as hard as it would be to resist the urge to say screw it.
