Factory Shutdown / Change-over
I remember when I planned my 1st ED that BMW shuts down their plants for about a month for holiday and change-over (for the new MY models). I'm planning to do an ED this year in August and was wondering if anyone knew about this shutdown and/or if ED was available during August?
Thanks!

Yeah, I know it's around that time of year - hopefully someone will chime in with more knowledge. Have you asked your CA yet when the plant shuts down?

ED is possible during the factory shutdowns and August is a very popular ED month. IF BMW commits to a specific delivery date they will ensure the car is built and waiting for you.

Only thing you will potentially miss out on is a factory tour

Over the years BMW has spread their MY introductions across the calendar and the traditional August shutdown with new MY production on 9/1 is, for the most part, a distant memory.
There are 3 plants in Bavaria that offer public tours and it would be extremely rare they would be all closed concurrently.
