Are there actually dealerships that are marking up ED over MSRP now?

I thought European Delivery was supposed to get you a 6 or 7% discount?

contact bmwdavid.com, he's an expert at ED

Should be negotiation off euro delivery invoice, not down from msrp

I was very happy in 2015 with Greg Poland from Pacific Bmw

feel free to give Jimmy Bach a quick buzz, we dial all the forum members with whatever they need. Been doing Eds and US deliveries all over the US for the forum members for over a decade!

as far as ED go, make sure you pick a dealer/sales rep who knows what they are doing. Some dealers just don't want to deal with ED and tie up a allocation so they will just throw a number out there and if you take it great if you dont they dont care. Also you have to remember if a dealer only gets one allocation or very low allocations for the specific model you want they will not want to do ED on those (Most dealers (including us from time to time) will be this way on low allocated models especially one they may only get 1 every few months, most of the time unfortunately ). I won't get to much into detail why, but basically its not as good for the dealer as a US for a few reasons.

The European MSRP is a 5% discount off U.S. MSRP, but the way to negotiate a Euro Delivery price is to work up from European invoice price, adding a fixed amount. For my wife's 2011 335is Coupe, we negotiated $500 over European invoice price. M cars demand more of a fixed amount, and we bought both my 2016 M4 and my wife's 2018 M3 ZCP for $1,500 over European invoice. Of course you have to find a dealer that has not just an allocation, but an M allocation. For this you really need to go to a higher-volume dealer.

Exactly where is "Sunnystate"? You ask people to help you with leads, but you don't give any clue as to where you live.

(I don't get people who don't just list their city and state. Are there really that many people here in witness protection programs? And if you are, what are you doing on an online forum in the first place? )
