A few Euro Delivery logistical type questions

Hi all,

Now that the hp numbers have been released for the M2 (assuming they're final), I'm much closer to pulling the trigger on the M235i and not waiting for the M2. I wish I could wait for the 2-series LCI, but I don't see me waiting another year and a half for this car. I wanted it a year ago and have waited this long.

Anyway, I'd like to do ED, but I've always had a few lingering questions about it and the process. Hopefully you guys can help me out. Here goes:
  • I know they take 7% off MSRP. Is this negotiable? I feel like I read somewhere someone got 14% off, but maybe I'm not remembering correctly. What are your experiences with negotiating prices with the ED? Less flexible because they're already offering the 7%?
  • How does a trade-in work with ED? I have an '09 TSX that I'd want to trade in, but I would need to hold onto it until I took final delivery of the BMW in the states (after picking up at Welt and then dropping off for shipping back home). Is that normally possible? Or is the dealer going to want to take my trade-in right away? How have you guys managed this process? I commute to work so I need a car all the time...
  • I'm assuming payments start on the car at the time of pickup at Welt. Is that true? If it is true, I'm a little concerned that I'll be making payments on a car that I won't be in possession of while it's being shipped back to the states. I'm assuming that's just part of the process, and there's nothing I can do about it...
  • How long should I expect the period of time to be between me placing the order with the dealer and actually picking up at Welt? If I ordered today, how many weeks until I could expect to pick up? I'm assuming it varies, but what's typical? Does the date get scheduled right away, or does BMW notify you when you have a pickup date? How far out from the pickup date do they notify you?
  • How long does it take for the car to be shipped back to the states? I live in Maryland.

That's a lot of questions. Answers to any or all would be appreciated. I want to make sure I get my ducks in a row before I pull the trigger.

Thanks!
