It would have been nice to see it come off the line but for $500, they can kiss my
[email protected]@. BMW has a great program for delivering your car and it's free. You can have your car deliver to their performance center in South Carolina. As long as you get there( you pay airfare), thet pick you up on Fridy night (in a BMW), free hotel (Marriott) and dinner, next day at 7 am tour of the museum, ten to the track where you can drive the car you ordred but is ONE OF THEIR CARS for the day on the track( wet and dry conditions), then take delivery of your car. You can then drive home or have it delivered to the dealer for a nominal charge. Now that's class.
Also they have a European delivery program that makes the car cheaper. You can pick up the car in germany, drive around Europe for 29 days or less, dropp it off at one of their 23 locations around Europe to be delivered to your dealer. The savings are large enough to pay for the trip to Germany and a 10 day stay if you are frugal. The saving has something to do with the used car import, I'm not 100% sure.
