We just signed the papers on an M850i, Alpine over dark blue/black, with comfort seating, the M carbon roof and the (to me) redundant and not really necessary alcantara headliner. It has 30 miles on it, about six of them put on by me.
MSRP, including destination charge: $119,145.
The deal:
- $4,170 off MSRP sticker (3.5 percent)
- $2,000 loyalty credit, tied to accepting BMW financing
- $500 USAA credit (I'm an Army veteran)
Actual cost of car: $112,475, plus tax, tag, "dealers fee," etc.
That was further reduced by a fair-market trade allowance on my 440i (I had done the research). I also got them to tint the windows.
The dealer is Capital Eurocars in Tallahassee. The salesman is Jeremy Christoph.
I'm an OK negotiator, but I'm not THAT good. After the papers were signed, I asked why they were so eager to deal on a one-of-its kind car (in this region) that they may not see again for some time.
They simply said that they work hard to make a deal, especially with a repeat customer such as me. (This is the fourth BMW we've bought here in about seven years.)
I have to think that something else is going on, but I'll be danged if I can figure out what it might be.
After waiting for tinting and final prep, we pick up The Beast on Thursday.

Wow! Congrats! 3.5% off? That's pretty damn good for a brand new flag ship car! Your loyalty to BMW prob did play a role in the discount. I won't be getting that nor a Veteran discount. Prob won't get anything because I'm in NYC. Lol. Post pics on Thursday!!
