Hi friends,

I have had my G80 M3 xDrive on order now for several months and recently received my allocation and production number. Around the same time, a friend made me aware of the possibility of “European delivery”, whereby I could travel to Germany, drive the car there for a bit, then get it shipped to stateside.

The caveat: I have been reading conflicting information about this online. Some say that it has been discontinued; however, I did find this post on some BMW dealer’s website mentioning that it is still possible. So I have a few questions for the more experienced members here:

1. Does BMW still offer this? If so, is this dealer specific or is it generally honored everywhere?
2. Is it too late to even request this from my dealer? Like I mentioned I already have the production number.
3. If I take delivery in Europe, will the car have European plates?

Thanks in advance!
