finalizing the deal

[vitaly]

ok, so i've got my pick up day (10/4) and my vin # but i've yet to place the 'official' order.

i have about a month and a half before my flight.

so what is my time line? when is the first payment due? does the dealer need a copy of my passport? when is the absolute drop dead date for changing the options on the car? am i missing anything? :dunno:

I think you can modify options before the car gets into a production state.
Yes the dealer needs a copy of your passport (at least my needed)
I assume payment due will be once BMW deposits the money?

ok, so since i already have my vin # does it mean the car is in the production state?

You can look it up in Owner's Circle.

go under the "Manage my BMW" tab. There you will see an option to "track my bmw".

that option is not available

I doubt it has already been produced
VIN does not mean that you cannot options.
I had my VIN number and after some time later added another option and it was fine.

By the way, do not use IE! It stinks! Go for FireFox =)

What do you mean? You must have put a reserve down to get the VIN. If you have a VIN#, then you have that car and its been produced or scheduled for production. You just need to do the final payment paperwork 20 days before your Munich delivery date. :)

sorry...was going off the top of my head...its the "order tracking" option

when you login to OC, do you get Welcome vitaly screen?
There's a box "Manage my BMW" there, and your car model should be there.

Then you need to add a vehicle on the right. You'll need production # or VIN to add.
