BMW Ends European Delivery Program For US Customers

An under-appreciated service of enthusiast engagement will end later this year when BMW shuts down its European delivery program, where U.S. customers could fly out and pick up their car at the company’s German museum. It seems that party is over.

If you want to buy a BMW and then fly to Europe to pick it up at the automaker’s funky Welt museum venue, make sure you get your order in soon because the chance to enter the program is coming to an end later this month.

There is a lot of 'marketing stuff' that is going to vaporize in the coming 12 months. For example there are TWO US 'Porsche Experience Centers' - one in LA area and one in Georgia. Maybe one or none are left?

Now that the 3 series is hecho en Mexico, the sales volume that is eligible for euro delivery is probably very small.

Perhaps we can pick up our M340i's in Mexico and then drive it over the border?

You will need every one of the BMW 'twin power turbo's' horsepower's to make it to Cali/Texas without getting killed or abducted!
