100% for real.

Jan 12 is the next available slot at the PDC. Even then, there may only be 1 available on that day.

Ordered Sept 1.
Expected Delivery Jan 10.

Here's a partial copy / paste of an email from the PC to our CA and forwarded to us:



Based upon the production number (xxxxxxxxxx) of your customer’s vehicle, the earliest available date for Performance Center Delivery is 1/10/2022, your customer would arrive the evening prior.

Due to the high volume of reservation requests, we are only able to hold this tentative delivery date for a limited time. This tentative delivery date will be released and given to another client if we have not received a response from you within 2 business days. After conferring this date with your customer, please inform us via e-mail if they can attend so we can proceed with delivery arrangements on our end. We will then send a confirmation email to your customer.

In the event your customer is unable to take advantage of this date, you have the option of canceling the reservation or you can provide us with 3 alternate days that meet your customer’s schedule. Alternate dates must fall within 10 working days (Monday thru Friday) after the original assigned date above. Again, dates are assigned according to your customer’s production number and are on a first-come-first-serve basis and Fridays are typically the first days to fill.

The BMW Performance Center is closely monitoring the developments regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus). This is an unprecedented national health emergency, and we will continue to develop and adjust our plans to best serve our customers. Due to the constantly changing environment surrounding COVID-19, we recommend that your customer does not make any travel arrangements until 2 weeks prior to their delivery date. If we encounter delays due to COVID-19 closures, production schedules, weather, or other unforeseeable circumstances, this delivery date may need to be changed prior to that 2-week window.

You should advise your customer that he/she should not make any travel arrangements until they have received a confirmation e-mail from us and that travel arrangements should not be made more than two-weeks prior to the delivery date. Due to production schedules, weather, or other unforeseeable circumstances, the delivery date may need to be changed prior to that two-week window.

Please note and advise your customer of the following information:

Thanks for sharing this. I've been tracking my car, its in transit for like 3 days now. Called BMW Genius, apparently my car was scheduled to arrive at VPC/PC on 12.15, but there was a train delay. Hopefully, I'll get a similar email pretty soon. Living without a car for almost 3 month now.

Hi,
I have a question please. I placed order end of Aug with about 5.5% off msrp. Dealer sent prod# with that has my name and build info. I filled some finance application and told I was approved. He asked to deposit 1000 and gave my card info, but he did not took the deposit.
My car almost cleared in stop sale. Can he stop selling car to me or can he broke his promise 5.5% off msrp? Just want to know how this works. I don’t think we had any paper work I signed other than filling credit application. Thanks for your help.

Sounds exactly like our scenario. We did sign a Retail Buyers Order with the selling price listed w/ a $2K down payment that was never put on our credit card.

Make sure you get the .9% interest rate that was available at the time and I think you'll be in good shape. If the interest rate changes, try to negotiate the selling price of the car but I doubt you'll need to do that.

Hi, Thanks for suggestions.
I just got a call and they are working on paperwork and looks like they stick to word on the %discount, however the finance team is saying I can take either 1500 rebate or 0.9% but not both. If I understood on BMW website, I think I should able to get both. Am I reading wrong here. Appreciate your suggestions. Thank You.

[sunny27]

They are also asking about the extended warranty from 3-5 years. I came to know repairs are expensive with bmw and nice to have additional warranty. Please bear with me this is my first luxury car. Can I purchase warranty when getting close to 3 years? Will there be any benefit buying now vs later? Thank You.

No reason you shouldn't get both but maybe start a new thread and ask others that know more and have bought several cars from BMW.

I'm almost certain you can purchase an extended warranty just beofe the factory one is about to expire, I'd wait. And again, start a new thread and ask the members here.

Ask for what ship you are on. Then you can track it online.
