BMW gives you a huge discount for opting for a "European Delivery." Enough to pay for the trans-Atlantic flight and most of a European vacation!

Actually, what does almost every other car company do? Will Toyota let you pick up your car at the factory? Seriously...
Someone must be having a bad day...

Someone must be having a bad day...I just took the opportunity to point out that the Bowling Green, KT experience is a lame and expensive let down.
In contrast, BMW's "European Delivery" is a huge selling point. I like the idea of a trip to Europe, a huge discount and first class treatment all the way.
BMW know how to treat its customers. GM doesn't have a clue. I thought that was a very important point to make.
Of course, everyone on this board know that I opted against buying a BMW in favor of the world's biggest Japanese SUV.

Furthermore.... how many BMW's have to taken delivery of in Europe?

Who thinks redzed has never even seen the Corvette plant?
I have seen it and the museum. BTW in some tours they actually let one of the tourists start one of the vettes, really neat.

I let that one slide because Y and T are right next to each other, besides to we really NEED another reason to make fun of redzed?
Re: Autoweek: GM Ponders What To Do With The Soon To Be ex-Saturn plant at Spring Hill
I didn't see the " Build RWD Sigma-Lite" architecture cars at the new plant as an option. So, I am officially nominating the plant for this use!
