You say that, and I agree, but I am getting the same line too and my car is also a Mexico build.

As cool as the MPE is I'll be fine without it. Folks make it seem like the stock exhaust is completely silent, but some of the videos I've seen beg to differ. It'd be awesome to have but it isn't a dealbreaker for me. |

My dealer is making me sign papers and turn in my trade 2 weeks before PCD. That seems excessive to me, but they are firm I was told....
They are generally good to work with so I guess I will be carless for 2 weeks. Hopefully its not too cold to ride a motorcycle to work in February....brrr. |

They probably want it now because values are fluctuating so much.

They really haven't given me a good reason, except "it is what it is...."
Maybe they are worried if I pull out of the deal, they are stuck with a car at the factory vs being delivered to their shop. They locked my trade value back when I signed the deal, so there may be something to getting it as soon as possible, but out of what will probably be 4 months since the lock, 2 weeks is fairly small. |

The car has to be paid for before they finalize the PCD, so maybe your dealer is just ultra conservative about the timeline. I paid for my car about a week before PCD and they weren’t getting worried about any deadlines. I assume the dealer just logs in and accepts the car (for delivery to you) once you finalize the deal, so it’s seems very simple.
Most manufacturers deliver cars to the dealer as a “30 day net” deal where the dealer gets the car with no interest credit for 30 days. After 30 days the dealer pays interest fees on the invoice cost until they pay the manufacturer. Maybe your dealer just likes to make a little extra cash on the 2 week float of your loan. |

I asked why the two week minimum and the CA handed me a paper from BMWNA saying the customer should sign the papers a minimum of two weeks prior to doing PCD. He said he personally didn't care one way or the other, but the paper said two week minimum so a two week minimum it is. Now in my case I was not trading anything in, so it was just a case of signing papers. |

^ that sounds like the answer to me. Now if my dealer had communicated it to me like that, there would have never been an issue.

Ime dealers find communication very hard, which I always found weird because one would think communication would be key to selling cars.
