It's too early to tell about 6-series reliability, but given all the recent problems (I-Drive, M3 engines, styling disasters, etc.) I don't think you can say anymore that you can't go wrong with a Bimmer.

And also there are all kinds of paypal rules about this type of thing.
Read the T&C and rules (ebay & paypal), there are a half dozen reasons why you can't do this.

645Ci is 80K$ more or less (80,000$ = 80,000 Miles + 20,000 Miles Bonus for new CC = 100,000 miles = Business Class Flight to Munich to pick up the car!)

I had a friend that did this on a 330ic bmw, so long you drive it like 15 miles (something like that) do a euro delivery your car is exported as a USED car, apperantly taxes/tariffs are less & makes for a new car to cost less. he said incorporating the the cost of the trip to germany yada yada he still saved like $1,800...lotta $$

You are correct, you can safe even money. However, a European delivery needs a little planning.
My point was: Pay the whole sales price with credit card .. and you (almost) have a free flight in business class to pick up the car. I know, that my dealer would accept a credit card ... bad news, the dealer has no BMW, only Porsche, Aston Martin and Jaguar
Regarding lottery: Florida has $60,000,000 in the Jack Pot ... go and get it.

My lease is just about to end on my BMW. Can I buy out the lease upon its expiry using my Amex then, seeing as I have the first right of refusal? Does it count as a purchase of a car? Or could they refuse credit card for payment? Anyone had any luck/experiene with this?
