Question on placing an ED order for MY2014 F31

ktula · 02-20-2013, 05:50 PM

I want a mid-September European Delivery pick-up for the 2014 model year F31. Even though the pricing guide for the MY2014 F31 is not out yet, a CA told me i should go ahead and place that order with my preferred dates in order to secure them. His reasoning was that September is one of the busiest months for ED so there would be competition for delivery dates. My understanding is that when an ED order is placed, the exact configuration and model year must be specified. So how can the CA secure my preferred dates if he's unable to place the order?

OK. Each SA is different. I have spoken to 4 different SAs and only 1 said I should ORDER now! others have said there is absolutely no rush. Just get the order in 2-3 months prior and they will still get you your preferred delivery date. It's amazing how they all sell same brand, yet always have different answers and different numbers!!!

its also amazing how they say to order a MY14 now when no one has any idea on pricing and packaging - nor are their systems even allowing them to order one now.

im in the same boat. have a good guy im working with. were waiting until it all comes out ...

I will be picking up in September and that will be a MY 2014 F30. I have no idea how to proceed without a price/option guide. How can you negociate a good deal?
