Decided to order a new 50e before the 2027 model year hit. After doing some haggling with multiple dealerships looking for Tanzanite Blue, I ended up going with a broker: BimmerCarDeals. You can find their info on this forum.

I was a bit nervous as the vehicle allocation was across the country (Dealership is in Virginia and I am Washington state) but everything went great. Broker got me 11% off MSRP, I got to pick every option I wanted, and the vehicle arrived here unscathed.

I ended up using a Broker for the shipping too. "Friendly Auto Transport" was who I used to get me to a shipper (https://friendlyautotransport.com). The guy was very responsive and had a shipping company already picked out that he had a lot of experience with.

DC Auto Transport (https://www.dcautos.org) was the shipping company, and they specialize in enclosed carriers. They have their own fleet of trucks and total price was amazing given that it was enclosed and only took a week to go from VA to WA. The car was delivered in a single carrier set up, though I think they moved it most of the way across the country in a larger enclosed truck.

Overall great experience and I loved not dealing with the dealership haggling process.

Enjoy the new ride! Great spec.

I’m vetting shippers now and have one I’m pretty impressed with, but will have to give these guys a shout. I want enclosed also. Would be coming from PCD to my detail shop.
