European Delivery

[sparky216]

What did they say about bringing it up to US emission standards before it will pass through US customs? Or is it a US bound model that you are buying direct?

Don't know, but would assume that it would be made as a US bound model.

still pretty dang good.

I never meant to imply that it was a bad car.

Dude, you are on.

The wife seemed pretty into it last night.

I have heard the Euro deliveries are a lot of fun. I would lean more towards the Audi or BMW. Since my wife's M3 was totaled last week she really has been leaning to a 335i Coupe. I would love a European Delivery since my sister lives in Paris but i don't think we will have the time. If you are looking at leasing there are some really good programs starting up on those types of cars with gas prices going up, seems like people want to spend less on a car. Makes sense...just not to us

It's a US bound model you're getting from the factory. Can't do it with some of their made in the usa cars (X5). Once you pick it up and drive around Europe it takes about 6 weeks until you see the car again. My uncle did it with his 540 and said it was amazing. It really is worth it if you can do it. I have never heard of anyone not enjoying the experience. Just make sure you know you won't say your baby for awhile.

Hmm....that may be a problem if it takes 6 weeks to get my car back from Europe. Wonder if the local dealer will give/rent a loaner to use. The more I think about doing this the more I think I will do it. Thanks for the input guys!! Any yes Dog I am now agreeing with you and my wife more and more....Audi is probably going to be my choice if we do this.
