Link doesn't work for me??

FWIW, It works for me. This is great news. BMW no longer paying for hotel stay is unfortunate but it still is better than GM charging for normal delivery fee along with museum delivery fee and not providing hotel for Corvette museum delivery.

This makes me almost as excited as the manual option becoming a reality as i want to pick the new one up at the delivery center. Will be an epic experience getting the last manual transmission internal combustion engine car likely to be made. Also hoping to time it right to be able to pick up close to my 50th birthday. The same day would be amazing if it worked out but will be something I will remember for the rest of my life. Also it will be a car i keep the rest of my life as well.

Do you not pay dealer fees if you pickup from the PCD? My dealer told me Destination & Handling is the same regardless.

Well... Destination is not a fee dealer charges. It's a fee BMW charges. At least BMW isn't charging more for PCD. Missed the European Delivery boat. Part of the reason I want a new Porsche even though they are 40% to 50% more than a Z4.

This is correct. You still pay standard delivery charge but BMW doesn’t add an additional charge on top of it like GM does.

Now bring back European Delivery, would be awesome to pickup a manual Z4 and cruise around Europe for a few weeks (even with very limited trunk space.

Very limited trunk space? You certainly aren’t talking about the Z4!

Stan Diego is correct, the trunk space we have in the Z4 is amazing. Here are some pictures that others have posted. Everything in the last picture that was loaded on the luggage cart as well a the paper bag and bottle already inside fit in the Z4's truck.

hilld · 02-03-2024, 10:40 AM

For a one week trip, the trunk space is amazing, but a 2-3 week European vacation (from the US) (with my wife) might prove to be a challenge.

Wife'sCar · 02-03-2024, 01:36 PM

We've done a month in Europe with two carry-on suitcases and two underseat bags. That would fit in a G29. You do need to wash things in your room or find a laundromat.

Buy the BMW, take a fraction of your saving from the Porsche and make your own trip! Fly into Munich, rent a Z4 with Sixt, go to BMW Welt, and see Europe

Yeah, I don't disagree. The $40k I saved could go towards my next DD, or half of a world cruise.

This is going to be a tough one considering the Z4 is made in SC. I can't imagine them even considering shipping the car over to Europe for delivery just to bring it back (at their cost). lol

Z4s haven't been built in SC in over 15 years. The current ones are built in Steyr Austria.

Only X's are made in SC. At least when I toured the factory 5 or so years ago. X3, 4, 5 & 6. But who knows now.

Dang. I guess I've been out of touch for quite some time on this. My bad.

Submitted my build sheet yesterday to my sales guy (San Remo Green/6speed). Guess I will add an extra month onto my timeline now that I know it will have to get to the west coast.

...at least. A few unlucky ones have sat at the port for more than a month awaiting assignment to a ship.

Slight correction: they're built by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria.

Production number for our 6 speed Z4 M40i has been assigned.

That was quick.

I’m actually about to turn in my 718 GT4 for the manual Z4, it’s literally 50k less. Just worried I’ll regret it.
