August can be beautiful in Europe, but everything will be crowded. If you decide to go, make reservations early. Check out BMW's agreement with Luftansa on airfare...it an be cheaper, but the 'free' ticket is still subject to a hefty fuel surcharge, and that defeats my opinion of free (it is refundable and changeable, which may make it worthwhile, and depending on where you live, you might get a non-stop).

Hey great thank you!!!
So basically a 535GTxi is a 740i platform/engine right? Well somewhat?
Tickets to Europe not a problem as I have a lot of miles so basically just based on availability
But I'd like to find some software and or wheels by time I come back so the car doesn't look generic
Also maybe wrong forum but in any case, I could buy tickets way before and plan everything ahead before ordering the car right? I mean ill still have more than 3 months lead for ordering I'd just like to buy the tickets mid/end of feb and order the car as soon as there is a prod date for my14 car... Does that work?
Thank u on advance!
