What is good about BMW European Delivery? My Mom did European delivery on a Volvo and got a 32k MSRP car for 24k and got two free airplane tickets to Sweden and a free night at a hotel and a chauffeured ride to the plant. It doesn't seem like BMW does any of that.

Delivery
You're right, but, then again, you wouldn't be picking up a BMW.

Unfortunately this one doesn't make it to the US. The little amber reflector is required thanks to our lovely DOT.

I have been to the South Carolina Factory for a Z3 Weekend. Fun event but I don't think I need to visit South Carolina ever again. I would go to Munich again as most of my relatives live there. I was wondering if there was something I was missing. As I rented a Mercedes C class for 300 dollars for 11 days last fall so really you would be losing more by paying for your car while it is in transit and the fact that you could get a Diesel vehicle which would save you a lot on gas. I guess it would be fun to drive it on the Autobahn. I only got up to 170 kmh in the Mercedes as my mother and mother-in-law were in the back seat. Truthfully it would be nice to get a 5 Series with European delivery as the rental agencies dont' seem to have anything big enough to carry 4 people comfortably and their luggage around europe. |

US labor isn't much cheaper than German labor but not having to pay freight on the X cars saves BMW money on cars that are sold in large volume to our market. |

I actually liked the Volvo XC 90 better than the FX 45 at that time but at that time a ship carrying the XC 90's sank in the north sea and cause a shortage of cars thus causing no Discounts. THe FX 45 I got 8k off and paid 40 and traded it in 3 years later for 32k. You wouldn't get that with a BMW. The X5 was better off road but the XC 90 is a beast in the snow. I drove it in 24 inches of snow with no problem. Anyway if you think workers in South Carolina make as much as those in Bavaria or Sweden you are mistaken. When I went to the factory a worker in South Carolina told me they made less than 20 dollars an hour. On average I read they make half as much as German BMW workers. And I am guessing Swedish workers make quite a bit with the cost of living there. |

Factor in the extra tax the EU folks pay and the benefits that BMW provides the US worker (mostly covered by the EU tax) and it's nearly a wash in terms of total pay.
I worked for a German company, and for professionals, the COLA for a US worker to make them whole in DE was roughly 40-50%. Even then, most who made the move felt they were less than whole at those rates. Oh, and yes, back then ML's were awful and Infinitii were still good. |

I can't find an sDrive so my only choice is ordering. If I were to order today, are any of the existing BMW financial service deals (build out cash) valid since they'll be MY2015?
I'm thinking of getting an X1 before the end of the month. I'm getting 5.5% off MSRP after all the discounts from a local dealer. |

Nope, all those deals are for 2014 MY. The lease rates for 2015 models has not even been released yet. I expect all this will change on April 1st. Hopefully we'll be in for some good news.

Heard from my CA today, BMWFS released 2015 x1 lease rates:
2015 X1 is 60% for 10,000 miles and .00133. So, basically, same as 2014 has been, but MF up .00003 from '14 March rates. No incentives of course.
