The orders will always be raised in Euros or Pounds, consequently
deposits and final payments should also be remitted in Euros
or Pounds.
Can I part exchange my old car?
We will always assist you in part exchanging
your current car.
How do I qualify?
You must be able to produce a diplomatic
passport or service pass from a recognised international organisation.
How many can I have and for how long?
Each holder of a passport/pass may
buy one BMW per year. This will usually dictate how long you
keep the previous car.
How long will I have to wait?
It very much depends on whether you
want a BMW built to your own specification (not withstanding
country specific options) in which case we usually build a BMW
and deliver within four to five months. There is always a possibility
that the right BMW might be found in your country, which will
speed up the delivery time. Occasionally, a new model may prove
difficult to deliver within the normal parameters due to strong
demand so should you be contemplating a new model please allow
more time.
How can I receive the price I am entitled
to?
By coming through to BMW Park Lane's
Diplomatic Sales, we take away any anxiety you may have about
the price. The constant will be that the price is directly linked
to BMW's factory price.
How will the car be shipped to me?
BMW Park Lane will deliver your car
via our shipping agents to your local subsidiary or importer.
In rare circumstances the car may be delivered to your nearest
port where the designated clearing agent will handle the details.
What are the payment terms?
We shall require an initial deposit
of 10% and BMW will invoice you for the final payment prior to
the car leaving the factory.
Would I have tax-free status?
This will depend on local conditions
so it is advisable to check with the Protocol Department of your
Mission or Organisation. They should be in a position to advise
you correctly.
How can I be sure of buying the right
car?
You will be buying your car directly
from BMW even if you are dealing with your local people. We are
aware of what will be required for the conditions of your posting
and the car will be built for the specific market. Should your
car be staying in the country of your posting, then the local
subsidiary or importer will be able to source the car from local
quotas.
What qualifies as an Official car?
If the car is to be registered to your
Mission and not to an individual, then the Official BMW price
will be used.
Can family members take advantage of
the scheme?
Any member of your family who holds
diplomatic accreditation can also purchase a vehicle through
this scheme.
Can I buy a BMW Motorcycle using this
scheme?
Regrettably there is no program
specifically for motorcycles although our BMW Park Lane London
office may be able to assist with a tax-free purchase.
