Understood except they explicitly say the US market is the most significant in the post. In any event, it would be nice to see real country by country sales data.

There has always been a biest for the US, just check the BMW euro delivery, do you see any involvement from BMW besides the delivery process.

Per capita, Dubai-1, Canada-2. Hard to understand? Over $500k spent by BMW for our trip. First, and most likey the last, ed group to be put into M4/3 rolling off assembly line and into dyno room with 0km on odo. Truth is painful to some.

I believe BMW M guys said that Canada had one of the highest M sales as a percentage of total Canadian BMW sales. Obviously, USA would have higher M sales than Canada in total.

I don't see what they would get out of "batching" delivery of all new F8x in Halifax. And, as far as I know, for ED redelivery BMW is out of the picture. The car just gets shipped to your dealer. But, this may not be true for the "Special 15" or for M in general. Who knows?

I've always told people who have asked me that ED is a great experience except for the redelivery part. And, it is not so much the time it takes but the total lack of information. Extremely frustrating.

Agreed. It is the lack of info that I am upset about. Seems like no one at the dealer level knows where the car is. I know CN is pretty much useless for information but the dealer should be the best source of information. They initially told me ETA July 27 so I figure I should have it by month end but now they said it is not even loaded onto rail.

The "per capita" piece in your post is pretty darn important to the discussion, no?

That little tidbit wasn't in the original post and the way it read was BMW sold more M's in Canada. So, not at all "hard to understand" but I would hope that in the context of the original post, the response isn't hard to understand either

I hope it's all clear now. As Canadians we should be proud of this.

Yes, at times as humans we take for granted the information that the individual knows ,and chalk it up as common knowledge.

I've considered putting a GPS tracker in my car for redelivery but have not because batteries would run out and it is no help to know car is sitting in Halifax or Bremerhaven without knowing when it will move to the next stop.

My dealer is using Hansons to transport their cars. Maybe you can try putting your VIN there and see if you can track your car.

Seems like the people in the east are getting their cars via truck instead of rail. It makes sense because trucking out to west is very expensive and I don't think dealers are willing to do that out here.

Congrats to all that are getting their cars.
