Some help

1. Shop around. You may have to go out of state depending on the overall size/popularity of BMWs in your state. Folks are still finding great spots but not really in places like CA, NY, etc. 2. You can defintiely get a new M3 for sticker. Even the greedy dealers with huge mark ups do not maintain them for that long. 3. Once BMW releases the complete option list and prices to dealers shortly thereafter you will be able to order a car exactly spec'd out to your liking. |

I am just curious what actually caused you to sell E46 M3. Did you have any issues with it or simply warranty was expiring? I am currently waiting for it w/o putting myself on waiting list because I won't be getting the first year model. If I was you, I would drive 1996 328i until E92 M3 comes out. I've always wanted M3 but I decided to wait for E92 M3 instead of E46. So far according to pictures/rumors, etc., I think I made the right decision of waiting instead of purchasing E46 M3. 1.IMO, most of dealers have long wait lists considering you are from LA, CA. 2.I can't really comment on this since I've never ever bought cars at sticker price unless you are talking about OTD price. 3.No comment. Good luck. |

I would wait for the E92 ///M3. That's what I'm doing right now. Being in CA, it will be hard for you to get a secent spot on a list. However, you might be able to find a good spot if you shop around. I guess it's lucky for me that I moved to Alabama? haha I hope everything works out for you mate

PM or e-mail me if you want a good hook up at Bob Smith BMW in Calabasas. Not sure if you can get one of their first cars, but Bob Smith has a policy of not marking up there cars what so ever, regardless of what style/newness of the car

Pre-order questions
Quote:
That being said, there are may dealers that will accept preorders at MSRP (in writing), my dealer (Rasmussen, Portland) being one of them. As others said, if you are in a hot market area (like LA), you may need to search out of your area. Just get the dealer list from BMWUSA and send out some emails.

If you are #1 at Irvine I wouldn't be worried. As for Bob Smith, I guess Spencer is a very special customer and more power to him! But in my visits to them, markup on popular cars is the name of the game. When I inquired about the Z4MC back in May, they said "we have one available coming in, 5000 markup" When I inquired about a MINI Cooper, they said "we have never sold one without a markup" Needless to say, I've never bought anything from them because of their "markup or go home" attitude. I can recommend one local dealer, and that is Pacific BMW in Glendale. They should sell at MSRP. I would check there first... unless you are of course #1 at Irvine.. in that case, I'd just bug the salesguy every now and then to let them know you are serious and anticipating the car. Hopefully they gave you something in writing also. |

Not IMO
Irvine was notorious for not selling at MSRP back when the E46 M3 came out. $10-$15k over sticker. Have seen other high markups as well since then. Not sure if they still have that "policy". I did call them about the list for E90 M3 and don't remember their exact reply but it was either no list yet, won't sell at MSRP or something else that basically all mean the same thing - not selling at list. If you do not have MSRP in writting and a deposit with them I personally would be worried about Irvine.
