Audi use Harms/Vikase tracking company for drop off location in many cities, including Munich. You need to call a taxi to get you from Harm to the airport or your hotel.

I'm not clear on this program... just talked to my local dealer. He explained that the discount is 'up to 5%' and it is no different then buying off the lot. In other words he depending on model etc may negotiate up to 5% off with or without ED.... So, whats the benefit (other than the experience itself)?
This dealer denied that his cost is 3% below invoice when doing an ED.

The benefit besides the experience: None.
If you fancy a Volvo, they will give you two RT Air tickets.
Bmw: 2 for 1 tickets!
If you are looking for other benefits, these are the way the Companies rank IMHO.
1. Volvo
2. Bmw
3. Mercedes
4. Audi
5. Porsche - if you qualify for "On case Basis" you pay to do it!

Also, if by chance you are traveling with bicycles, it is a very nice bike ride back to the Munich airport. Germany cycling is one of Europe's best kept secrets;-)

Let's not forget about what you get when you get home too! Warranties and Maintenance perks from some.
Shipping fee for Volvo? are you talking Destination charge? Which is what Audi charges too?!?! Is that what you mean?

Yes, destination charges include in every car price - it doesn't matter if you pick up your car at dealer or fly to Germany.

Where's My Car?
I left my S5 with Audi's shipper in Paris on November 27.
Haven't heard anything from my dealer about expected arrival (which should be soon), so I called my salesman yesterday.
He didn't know where the car is. Actually asked me if I had been given any tracking info so I could find out myself.
He later found what he believed was info on my car -- that it was loaded on a ship on December 28 -- a month after I had left the car in Europe.
That means I may not get my car until some time toward the end of this month. And that presumes that the info he was seeing is correct.
He was going to check on this and get right back to me. That was around mid-day yesterday, and so far to reply.
Really beginning to regret the European delivery program. I'd strongly advise against believing any claims that your car will arrive in about 6 weeks after you leave it in Europe. My 6 week date is tomorrow, and Audi can't even tell me where my car is, much less when to expect it.
Very unhappy here.
