How many of you got to experience European Delivery?

Well, it's been almost 2 years since BMW canceled the ED program. Sucks that they canceled it. It's always been a dream of mine to special order an M car and picking it up in Munich.

I remember the first time I stumbled upon the ED delivery program. This is gotta be back in 2010-2011 when I was about 12-13 years old. Since I was a young buck, I've been into cars. I was most likely on BMWUSA building a 3 Series. I still do this when it's slow at work and I've got nothing to do .

I started watching ED videos on Youtube and telling myself that I was going to do ED when I'm old enough to afford a new car. I remember I built an M3 (most likely an E90/E92) on BMWUSA, printed out the spec sheet, and taped it to the headboard of my bed. So, every day I woke up for school, I knew I had a goal to reach. Obviously, being 12-13 years old, I had a long way to go. Not knowing BMW would get rid of the ED program.

I never got to experience it. But when I would watch ED videos on youtube, I could see how exciting and elegant the experience was. Back in 2013, my parents sold their 2003 BMW 330XI for a 2013 Honda Accord. I remember back in 2013, I was begging my parents to order a 5 series and to go through the ED program. But, I don't think any parent wants to buy their 20-year-old daughter a 50k+ car

Sucks for enthusiasts like us that ED might never come back (fingers crossed)

Curious to hear your guy's story on your ED experience. Feel free to share pictures!

I did, long before the Welt was a thing.

1987, I took six customers over to pick up the first batch of 325i Convertibles. I paid their tickets, they got a free trip, and we added the cars to our inventory when they arrived stateside. Just needed warm bodies to get the cars we couldn't get through normal allocation channels. Genius!

My dream: Euro delivery just as I'm starting an all summer long stay in Germany. Alas, it's most likely going to remain a dream.

That sucks man. I hope BMW brings ED back. For now though, doesn't seem like it
