Your BMW center will submit a pre-reservation to the European Delivery Department, who will submit your vehicle order to Germany with your choice of options and colors. Please allow three months time between your order and your pickup date. Also, be aware that since the factory is closed in August, a longer lead time may be required in August and September.

Your purchase order is required six weeks prior to your pickup date. However, if you find yourself scheduled for an unexpected trip to Europe, call your BMW center to see what can be arranged. Full payment is required 30 days before you pick up your new BMW in Europe.

Delivery of your new BMW from Europe back to the U.S. takes six to eight weeks, depending on the location of your selling BMW center.

You may purchase up to six months of road insurance for your stay in Europe. You must do this as part of your purchase order; it may not be added later. If you keep your BMW in Europe for four months or longer, you must pay a German Road Use Tax. Please contact your BMW center for the rate schedule.

European Delivery is available only to U.S. residents age 18 or older with a valid driver's license who place their order within the U.S., travel to Europe and return their BMW to the U.S. within six months.

Tourist registration and German tourist license plates cannot be renewed or extended. Be sure to request adequate time when placing your order.

Cars financed by BMW Financial Services NA, Inc. are limited to 90 days maximum stay, and cars leased through BMW Financial Services NA, Inc. are limited to 30 days maximum stay.

Your BMW center may collect a 15% export deposit (which is refundable to you upon notification of shipping).
