I don't know about EDs from the US, but if you do ED from Canada, we have to pay:
1. for the FULL price of the car in cash, no loans or financing available, unless otherwise secured;
2. pay this one month in advance of picking up the car;
3. leave BMW Canada a deposit of 20% of the value of the car which is refunded when the car comes back.
I know for a fact that the car didn't start production until three weeks or so prior to my picking it up (week of Feb 12 '01) for a pick up on March 1. So BMW had all my money before they started producing the car, plus they are still holding onto a 20% deposit -- and I didn't get the centre armrest that I ordered and paid for.
On the other hand -- I'd still do ED all over again....
