530e Euro Delivery

We did this trip awhile ago but I never got around to posting a thread. Ordered a 2019 Alpine White 530e M Sport with cognac interior and did European Delivery. The overall experience was fantastic. It was easy to choose dates with my dealer and BMW sent the booklet and really great info in the mail. On the day of, we walked to the Welt from our hotel and the service and everything about the day is just perfectly executed. Lots of smiles and excited people all around, great food and drink while you wait and you can see your car on its stand down below! Our delivery specialist was a total expert on the product, they take you to a small theater to introduce the car to you and we had some great conversation. Walking down the steps to see the car completely fresh from the factory is an exciting experience. Then we did the factory tour and museum, then back to the Welt for some relaxing and lunch. Overall a packed day and a ton of fun!

From there, we drove the car to southern Germany, through Switzerland and France, and to Spain. It was amazing waking up in a new city with a new language, food, and scenery almost every day. It is definitely a different way to experience the countries compared to flying in and out of one place.

Overall, awesome experience that I'd recommend to anyone. Happy to answer any questions.

As for the car, that's a topic for another thread but we completely love it. The electric drive, HUD, iDrive, wireless CarPlay, interior design and materials, exterior design, steering and handling, there isn't another vehicle in the market offering the same package of stuff, and so well executed. Glad we discovered the brand!

Were you able to charge at any point in your trip? Were you able to pick your delivery date?

Glad to hear, I don't see black with cognac all too often, have any pics?

No, we weren't able to charge during the trip because it's a US spec model and not compatible with European chargers. However the regen works really well and we generated enough battery charge during highway drives that we had some electric drive to use when we got to the cities.

Yes, you can pick your delivery date. You have to provide 3 options in order of preference, and they'll do their best to schedule you for your top choice. It should be fine as long as you're scheduling enough in advance and it's not a holiday or something.
