So, (and I searched but I could not find an answer): If - as Ben said (mind, two years ago) that new MY production starts in June but rollout won't happen until September, is it even possible to do European delivery of a new MY in July already?

(Besides this issue, I still hate the thought of having holes drilled into my front bumper when I really don't need them in Louisiana).

Thanks, amigos.
My MY07 arrived 08/05/06. So given that cars can arrive in the US 5 days outside of July, I would have to imagine a July European delivery is possible.

Cool, THANKS, that's pretty strong evidence! Now I just have to decide if I could live with holes in my front bumper...

Tim, I know, I know, and he'd be the guy I would talk to; but, somehow, gosh, taking her virginity away... I'm always reluctant to do these things. ;-)

Eric from Bumperplugs can fix that, Wolfgang.

And dude, you know - Germany shuts down for the entire month of August... <g>

How could you -not- do Euro delivery?!? You speak the language!

Here's the surprising twist I found out about yesterday: you have to be a resident of the United States to do the Euro delivery through U.S. dealers. Since I'm still on a work visa and as such not yet a resident (in legal terms), I won't be able to do the Euro delivery until after I get my Green Card (which I won't have by next summer). Quite surprising.
