I would be furious

if no ED, that would be a deal breaker for sure!

+1

No ED, no 1m for me.

I'm not going to fight for a car that is over MSRP. They said it'll be a few thousand over because of the demand.

I sent emails to a few dealerships around California but wanted to know if I could just contact a dealer from another state and do ED and PDC with them? I'm sort of new at this.

F***ing stealers

Sorry guys, just to confirm im taking ED, just getting nothing for it i.e. 'no incentive, its my choice'

but

My dealer told me with 100% certainty that ED cars come out of dealer inventory, and unless I already had a deposit in, I would not get a car this year.

Sure puts a crimp in my plans for our 25th anniversary trip in October

I may have to order a 135i or 335is instead...

A local dealer has told me as well that ED cars will come out of inventory/allocation as well. However they're not taking deposits until more pricing is confirmed in a couple of weeks.

If they don't give me a break on pricing, I may cross-shop a 335is (with DCT) as well.

This may sound silly, but when I sold BMW's in Britain, on the odd occasion if someone needed an earlier allocation car for a specific event/requirement we would contact and ask early order customers if they would consider selling or swapping their slot to help the customer out. Usually with some form of incentive! I know its a long shot but you could plead a bargain with someone on here!!!

GeniuneSorny · 02-01-2011, 11:51 PM

Yeah, we already had some [expletive deleted] pop in here a few days ago offering to sell his spot. Classy :/

I really expect to know a lot more in the next week. I have had several email conversations with an internet sales manager who understands I am looking for ED.

Will do

turbomzi · 02-04-2011, 10:52 AM

I have been told the earliest ED date "MAY" be May 16th, I originally requested 14th as my first choice. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I was also told May 16th from a dealership in SoCal.

Augenbrauezug · 02-04-2011, 05:34 PM

Has anyone else been able to confirm the 7% for ED?

I've heard of a few getting up to 9%, just trying to get a feeler for how many are getting this deal.

7% will put me in a 1m, but less is better!

May 16th is what I am told.

SamS · 02-05-2011, 11:31 PM

May 16th confirmed (independently) via email from my dealer as well.

SamS · 02-07-2011, 03:42 PM

My dealer was able to place an order for me today, in his system/order bank. Although this doesn't really mean the car is "ordered", because we don't have a production number (slot?) from BMW yet. I gave a deposit, and he knows I am expecting ED in late October.

I am dealing with the same dealer as Sam, while I haven't placed a deposit yet, I have also heard the same thing from a different CA from the same dealer.
