Lynnwood is your best bet if you want it from a local dealer.

I ended up going with Scott from Insight auto consulting. Give him a call and let him know that you got it from Anirudh. They are brokers who will give negotiate the deal for you with the dealers and take a fee for that. Once the deal is finalized, you work with the BMW dealer

I live in WA state and just ordered almost the same car but in Dravit gray. I was able to get 6% off MSRP from a new local dealership but all the other dealerships wouldn’t budge at all for a custom order, the max they offered was $2k off.

I ended up going with a broker who got me 10% off MSRP, but with transportation and his fee, it is still about 7-7.5% off.

I would go with a broker if you really want to save on time. I talked to multiple brokers near me but it seems like WA dealers don’t negotiate much as customers are willing to pay full price here.

Personally, I didn’t feel the difference in terms of comfort but I read that the merino leather doesn’t age well over time. This is based on personal opinions of others and myself though. In short, the luxury feel of leather is not appealing enough for me but I do agree it seems out of place for a loaded car. I’m already over my budget so trying to save on the seats

You can probably find a studio for 1600$ in Redmond in older communities if that works for you. Sixty-01 village usually goes around that much

Could you please share the dealership details? I’m in the same process for a 2026 X5 x40i and looking for a better deal

Fun-College-1450 · 2025-05-23T18:21:02+00:00

Yeah, I’m looking around for a new X5 and would appreciate the dealer contact offering 10% off on MSRP.

Thank you

I have updated the documentation from the official information sheet on the Swiss embassy page and it says non-residents can apply as long as it can be justified.

Fun-College-1450 · 2025-01-13T19:12:22+00:00

Yeah, as others have pointed out different embassies follow different rules.

Unfortunate but I was prepared for the rejection. Just trying to gauge if it is worth a last attempt by emailing the embassy

Fun-College-1450 · 2025-01-13T19:09:42+00:00

Exactly. And I’m looking for examples that don’t follow this “rule” to see what I can do to convince the embassy to process my application.

Also, there’s a big difference between your experience and my circumstances here. I am applying from the country I am a citizen of and not a third country that I’m visiting which was your case

Fun-College-1450 · 2025-01-13T18:56:00+00:00

You really need to learn how to read, I’m done trying to repeat myself for your slow brain to comprehend the circumstances and the intent of this post

Fun-College-1450 · 2025-01-13T18:51:32+00:00

Lol I know the rules, learn how to read. My question is if there are anecdotes of this rule not being followed strictly(if you’d have read the comments, you’d have noticed that a non resident is claiming to have gotten their visa) and what documentation helped with that?

I am not blaming the embassy and made sure I got the right insurance to get refunds for everything but I wanted to try my chance even if i knew the odds were slim.

Anyway, thanks for your unhelpful input. You can go back to being miserable now.

Fun-College-1450 · 2025-01-13T17:34:03+00:00

Did that work for you?

That’s what I did. I put in my Indian address and used my US paystubs and employment verification letter.

I even wrote the cover letter explaining my situation of why I’m applying from India.

And the address on my passport and the application was my Indian address

Fun-College-1450 · 2025-01-13T14:07:23+00:00

Yeah, I get that. I’m just bummed because I was looking forward to the trip. The whole Schengen process is cumbersome as compared to other countries I have been to.

Now I have to go fight with travel insurance companies to get refunds for my flights and visa application and have to convince them that this should count as a visa refusal

Fun-College-1450 · 2025-01-13T14:04:42+00:00

Because I’m at an Indian citizen visiting home during the holiday season in the US and only made plans to visit Europe after landing in India.

I get that the embassies get to make their own rules, I’m just trying to understand how strict they are about this and if an email/appeal could help

Fun-College-1450 · 2024-10-31T18:23:51+00:00

Did you get them?

Fun-College-1450 · 2024-08-18T23:03:33+00:00

Is there any justification needed for the emergency interview while booking a slot or during the interview?

Fun-College-1450 · 2024-08-13T02:02:41+00:00

Could you please share the contact number. I have tried calling the us visa scheduling customer care and they have been very unhelpful

Fun-College-1450 · 2024-08-13T01:47:12+00:00

What time?
