However, we may be able to use the recent M5 launch and subsequent ED deliveries as a rough guide for now. Recall that the first M5 hit the US in late August:

While the ED's started September 1st with this US Spec M5 "European Release Party":

So there was very little delay as far as the first US vs. European deliveries.

Given that the M3 is expected to hit the US by late spring 2014, I think you are more than likely safe to book Octoberfest 2014 ED trip plans now. Of course, you may nevertheless want to hold off a bit longer if there is no particular rush.
Thank you that sounds promising. The major obstacle for me is convincing the wife to delay a year. For her it's less about the car and more about the Euro trip.

I also need to find someone that not only specializes in ED but can secure a delivery slot for a car that I assume will be in high demand.
