Congrats!!
One thing though, that money factor seems a bit high.. Current rate is .00129, I believe. You might want to look into to that it could be a markup.

It is a markup. The regular rates for M4s (without my corporate fleet) around here (Seattle) is 0.00169 :/ The dealer won't budge lower than that. I will push for some more, closer to delivery.

I would just go to a different dealership and be like.. Hey this is my offer can you beat this deal.

I bet you a swift kick in the balls someone will beat it.

Wait did you have to factor anything in with your M235i? Or did they just buy it outright?

Awesome! Congratulations...

You won't be sorry. I live in CA where you see many BMWs never seen M4. A car like none other. Congrats on order.

We have 2 dealers in the Seattle area. This one is already way better and nicer to me cause I got my M235i from them. The other one was quoting me a 1027/mo payment with almost 9K down lol.

I had to sort of go to this dealer cause I had to give back my M235i ... I came in 1500 bucks short of my payoff on that one, which seems like a good amount. That one, they bought it outright - already gave the keys, so I am off the hook.

I am going to try Portland to see if they can beat the offer. If not, it would be to CA, and I'd have to add delivery fees I guess, no not sure how much worth the trouble will be. Also, for this deal, I got a residual of 62%, but seems like folks here are getting a residual of 65%?

Thanks!

I've always wanted an M3 (well, the M3 Coupe). I was't able to afford one up until now. M235i is a great little car, but not an M4.

I would try all over the US. My understanding is the $995 covers the shipping . When I bought my M3 in NH they gave me the option of having it shipped to a dealer closer for no shipping fees either Vermont or Michigan( Live in Both). However, he did mention that the other dealership may charge a delivery charge of a few hundred bucks( Car Prep beyond what the VDC does). Moral of the story I found a dealership that was willing to do 2k over EU invoice and had a better allocation.

Another option is find anyone that offers the best price and just have the car shipped to the Performance center in California, and you can get the BMW Experience and drive it back home. I hear there is some epic routes from Cali up to Seattle. An you would avoid any additional fees, beyond your trip to Thermal, California.

However the biggest issue you face is the end of MY15.

Happy Hunting and please keep us posted.

Doesn't the corporate fleet discount include a reduced money factor? $898 is a super high payment for a minimally optioned M4.

MF for the PNW dealers are pretty high 0.00149 after a reduction from 0.00169 :/. I also had my trade in and some negative balance.

Here are the numbers:

See you saved 2700 dollars..
Are you going to take this offer, an whats the allocation date if its been released yet?

I would take this to the other dealership that you did the 1st deal with an do the look at this, can you beat this?

[philthy84]

Welcome aboard! The guys at BMW Portland have been awesome and easy to communicate with during my ordering process. I worked with David P. mainly but everyone there is great! I just picked up my M4 recently and couldn't be happier with the level of service I have received from them so far.

None of the dealers in my area or around Portland could beat this. They were beating around the bush trying to convince me that I'd have to register my car myself at the DMV if I got it from Portland, so they would instead throw in a free all-weather mat worth 150 bucks (which is actually listed as 80 bucks at the BMW website)... that kind of stuff. One dealer never showed me the MF in print, even when I asked multiple times :/

For a few hundred dollars, I would rather deal with a guy that is up front, straight with the number and whom I can trust. So I already took this offer and placed the order the day before.

I am not too sure about the allocation/release date... I was told I got their last M4 allocation. I will ask Dave and let you know.

Thanks!

Thanks! Good to hear this. I have had a similar experience in my brief deal so far
