I skipped on Individual paint extra delay to try to get delivery as soon as possible. Currently it's sitting at the port of origin, so as I predicted when placing my order right at Election time, the race is on to see if I can get it before some (even if temporary) tariff is levied.
I too have wondered if BMW might isolate me from the increase considering that I ordered months ago, but BMW has had a hard time economically the last couple years from a number of problems, so realistically, I don't see them doing anything heroically nice to me like eating the increase in any way. No, essentially a new ADM is likely, which of course also means instant big time depreciation if selling during the next administration.
BMW has said some words about upping the production in Spartanburg in case of tariffs, but I don't see sedans or M cars suddenly coming out of that plant, the only BMW products I would consider buying. And having previously bought a new Corvette assembled in Bowling Green, KY, I for sure don't want a M car that isn't assembled in Germany.
