Default BMW transportation

I have a friend that wants a BMW but wants to pick it up in germany...

So can you do that for a three series bmw? I am just curious. He really wants an x5 but I believe they make them in south carolina..

nothing, he wants to pick one up in germany and drive it around on a vacation.. and then have them ship it back..

I heard something about it.. that is why I mentioned it to him... but I didn't know they did it for a 330ci...

Are you refering to European delivery where you get to drive your car in Germany and stuff for a few days before they ship it yonder?

Overview - - BMW North America

You are correct; all of the world's X5s and Z4s are built in South Carolina

Im not sure, I was on a trip with my church and my youth minister took all the guys out there while the grisl did their thing. Im pretty sure its an open tour though. First they have a "lobby" aka showfloor and have some BADASS bmw race cars and such, then you go into one of those rooms where there is screens in a complete circle and its all one video and it gives you history and all that junk. Then they actually take you out on the floor, its insane! Id highly reccomend the trip if you are nearby.
