Euro Delivery 330i ZSP
June, 2001
2,200 miles
Fun to do, no doubt, but don't think of it as a huge money saver. Beyond the obvious travel expenses, you're also looking at not having the car (but still paying for it) for up to 2 months after you drop it of for its USA voyage. Less bothersome if you pay cash but those monthly payments on a finance or lease deal would be a little annoying while the car is AWOL.
BMW made exceptions here and there allowing Euro Delivery on the E46 M3. I met up with a group that did so in summer, 2002. There was a cover story about them in July '03 Roundel. You can read it at www.bmwcca.org. I was driving a Z1 and met up with the M3 guys at what was then the ED center as they saw their cars for the first time. Another guy in the group had done ED on the Z8 in the photo.

+1. I always heard it's not about the money, but more so the experience.

Is there any way to tell if our car was euro-delivered? Were Euro-delivered cars built at a different factory than other ZHP's? My early ZHP is somewhat "oddly" equipped as though it might have been ordered and possibly Euro-delivered...
I am the second owner of my car, purchased 5/21/2006. She turns 10 on Sunday, built on 03/03/03!
