Autoblog On Picking Up Your New Car Overseas

We have posted a couple of times (here and here) about picking up your new luxury European ride direct from its factory overseas.

Autoblog has some new information for us in this post. Apparently:

• 80,000 Mercedes buyers avail of the European Delivery option,
• Volkswagen's Autostadt gets a million visitors a year, and
• BMW has developed its own European Delivery center (for $275 million!) and dubbed it BMW Welt, expecting 45,000 customers to pick up their new cars there each year (alongside 800,000 visitors).

Commenters to Autoblog's post seem pretty excited about their European Delivery experiences. And they report saving a nice chunk of change on their purchases as well.
