Soon BMW NA will offer only one build type per model, take it or leave it. COVID pandemic = mass layoffs = business need to cut costs/get lean to survive.
Wow this is the first I heard of BMW cancelling the ED program. Shocked. It can't cost them that much, the Welt is still there handling
deliveries for customers through Europe. Picking up my 650i M Edition coupe in 2014 was one of my most memorable experiences. Sure X vehicles have eclipsed sedans & coupes, but plenty of US customers still buy them. Combined with Performance center delivery it is a fantastic journey that now cannot be had. And the ED discount was excellent. Hope they bring it back someday.
