Priority 1 Options ARE available on ED. Your dealer is either lazy/ignorant/unhelpful/ or all of the above. Call Jim Mannheimer at DeLon BMW and he will get it for you ordered on ED.... oh and at a GREAT price. I have bought 4 cars from Jim and they are AWESOME !

PS. Althought DeLon is in OR you can coutesy deliver anywhere in the USA ! Uninformed dealers deserve to lose business

I called my dealer today and asked him to recheck on it. If he still says no im getting names. He told me this came from the department at BMW usa that handles ED deliveries.

What was the price on the anthracite headliner. Is it alcantera??

If he still says "no", I would look for another dealer. More than a few have been suggested on this site.

WHAT? Priority 1 is supposed to be allowed on ED orders. When I think of "special orders" I think of things that aren't on the standard dealer ordering sheet. Anthracite headliner clearly is on the ordering sheet.

When my dealer placed my order today it turns out that the Anthracite Headliner is a Priority 1 item which they won't do with European delivery. No custom type orders allowed with Euro Delivery.

So off comes the anthricite headliner.

So while I was on the phone I added the sunshades. Anyone have an opinion on the sunshades. Seems like a nice thing if someone has their brights on or the sun is hot.
