It makes sense that the take rate is not as high as it used to be. Sales of their small SUV lines are up so Spartanburg is busier than ever. Meanwhile, the European Delivery program itself has seen changes over the years that make it significantly less attractive - it used to be a pretty hefty discount in addition to avoidance of a bunch of taxes and dealer fees, but all those loopholes got closed while the discount turned into a premium. And with a pandemic going on, I really don't see people lining up for a European trip. It's sad to see it go, but not surprising.

Sad, did it for my 2015 m235. And was hoping to do another in the future, that would have been more driving focused. At first thought it would have been this year, but that did not pan out for many reasons. Really glad I got to do it once, hope they bring it back.
