Planning European Delivery - HELP
Hello fellow members,
I have an appointment coming up this friday and will be ordering my F30 vehicle. I intend on doing a European Delivery and was hoping to get some insight from members who have already picked up or will be picking up shortly. 1. Planning/Flight–I know roughly when I'd like to pick up the vehicle but more importantly, I'd like to plan the trip for me and my girlfriend. Is there anything specific you need to do when purchasing a flight from Lufthansa? How do you get the companion fare compensated? 2. Dropping off the vehicle–as far as I know you need to return the vehicle anywhere there is a major harbor (I think there's a list somewhere). I also know that if you return in Italy it apparently takes longer. I'm thinking of returning in Amsterdam (any members drop off there)? 3. Pick Up-What happens at pick up? Well, I hope someone can lend a helping hand. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, in advance. **Lastly, when you purchase and declare that you want a European Delivery, do you get a special information packet? Just wondering. |

at the other hand, if the cost is about the same, it might be good to get a full-fare as you usually have less restrictions on your ticket, such as cancellation/change policies (well, that is of course in normal situations, I don't know for sure how it is with the free companion).

Thank you for all the advise, that's why I was asking. It's so confusing with the Economy class (Y), I thought I saw that the class had to be (Q). I don't know what the codes are but I'll figure it out. If not I just won't fly
Lufthansa. Anybody with prior experience out there? I'm ordering the car tomorrow |

the down & dirty version
http://www.air-ticket.us/info/airlin...breviation.php The full fare economy can get really pricey, yes. I subscribe to First Class Flier - you might want to check out a free trial issue since they have some great 'swap' tables for various carriers. For example, a business class seat from IAD to MUC might run $2,500 or you can get a discounted fare economy seat from $1,200 then buy 25,000 miles from United @ $300 and upgrade yourself for a lot less. Those are just numbers I made up but you get the idea. Or, if you use Amex see if you can buy upgrade points through them and then use on a particular carrier. Definitely shop around online and you'll probably come up with decent deals. |

Use airline miles if you have any to fly over there, I use 80k on AA and able to get two Economy Round trip ticket.
Otherwise use US Airways as they have direct flight to Munich and it is the cheapest.

That doesn't have to be, of course. Cost is based on availability, departure city, departure date and several other things

Thanks for all the advice. I'm waiting to hear when my ED pick up date will be (still no confirmation) . After I hear back I can then start planning the trip.
I'm trying to get an end of April or early may pick up so I don't get stuck with "summer" rates. Plus, I have to calculate another 6-8 weeks delivery back to the U.S. |

Well, I didn't want to say anything since it's not official yet but this is what I'm going for:
Glacier Silver 335i Sport Line. Black Leather w/Red Trim Aluminium w/Coral Red Highlights Premium Sound Package Cold Package Premium Package Sport Automatic w/Paddle Shifters 19" Rim upgrade w/Staggered Tires I pretty much made up my mind after seeing the US Press Launch. At that point I was actually set on a different color fore exterior & leather and ok with the regular sport rims! Anyway, this is the picture that changed my mind. It's classy, sporty and timeless. IMO. |

wow that silver looks very nice, looks perfect with the black lines of the sport version. Only thing missing is a black grille.. or basically everything that is chrome should be turned into black imo
edit: dang, this 'almost' (I'm still confident about my current choice, no worries hehe) makes me wish I would've gone with a silver sports instead.. that way I could've had my wifes rims on the car.. I bet they look awesome under it (black 20's)

Hmm.. Maybe I'll give the 20's a test/look on my Mojave but seeing how the Mojave is already dark, I kind of think that the chrome wheels will be nicer, we'll see
