European Delivery

It's only fair to give your new BMW a taste of freedom before shipping it off to the land of speed limits.

Take delivery of your new BMW in Munich, Germany and christen it on some of the world's legendary roads - the very roads that defined its soul. The savings you realize by taking delivery in Europe just may pay for your trip.

Step 1
Visit your local BMW center to reserve your new BMW at least three months prior to your planned travel date. Your BMW will be made to order, so it is essential that the factory schedule its production as soon as possible.

Important information regarding European pick up during winter months

Germany passed a ruling that requires drivers to properly equip their vehicles according to inclement weather conditions. When driving conditions are dangerous due to ice or snow, cars must be equipped with All Season tires (also called 'M+S tires'). There might be street sections for which snow tires or even snow chains are declared mandatory. This often is the case for ski resorts and alpine passes. It is the responsibility of the car owner driver to equip their vehicle appropriately for the prevailing weather conditions. If you do not appropriately equip your vehicle for the weather conditions that exist during your drive, obstruct traffic or get involved in an accident as a result thereof, it is possible you may be cited for a violation of the law by the local authorities or be found to be grossly negligent according to the law. Other countries you may visit including Austria and Switzerland may also have similar laws. If the Police find that you are not equipped with the appropriate items when the weather conditions deem them necessary, and if the officer feels that other traffic participants have been endangered, they have the authority to fine a driver 20 euros or in some cases significantly higher.

The following website outlines a snow tire rental option and includes pricing and details of booking the tire rental in Germany. Please be advised that all cars must come back to Munich to have your original BMW tires put back on the car before shipment to the U.S.
