Buying a New M3

whyw8 · 03-07-2011, 06:18 PM

Hi Guys,

Looking at buying a new M3 - what should i be looking at paying.

I've dealers advertise a wide range of prices.......

Who here has a "good" contact at BMW.

I have also ordered a 2012 C63, but i have a way out of the cotract - Just cant bring myself to move badges

cheers

lol dude were u at the meet on Friday? I was hoping to catch up and have a chat!

Are you looking at a brand new one? E90 or E92? Big difference in price for the 2. E90 is around $140-150 drive away and a E92 is around the 170-180 mark drive away depending on your options. But it can easily hit the 190 mark

DCT is around 6k, individual audio is about 2k, 19" alloys is some more $$ and some other small extras. You could even go an individual colour for alot more $. But at the end of the day it will all add up.

There is a pure edition E92 out which is 'meant' to be cheaper but i dont really think it is.

What colour combo and specs you after? Give us some more info of options etc and then we can give a better estimate from our experience.

Get a few quotes and negotiate. You will be amazed at the difference in prices between different bmw dealers. I started off at Brighton bmw and all they offered was a pretty bad retail price. I then went through Doncaster and crunched them hard. Ended up doing the quote for them showing what extras I wanted included and what price I would pay for everything included. They reluctantly agreed but at the end of the day all they want is to make the deal. Paid $15,000 less than what Brighton would give.

Sorry mate - held up at work and by the time i got home, it was to late also the weather didnlt look the greatest.

I really whould have thought the BMW would been bending backwards to get rid of the last remaining M3's.......guesss not -

Have you driven a c63 before? I had a look at them before settling on the M3, it's pretty horrid in comparison...the steering and interior were particularly bad IMO

Dude, the new F3x M3 wont be out until at least 2013......

G.R · 03-07-2011, 11:52 PM

The guy I bought mine from at Doncaster has left to go into real estate. Doesn't really matter who you see. They key is to tell them what you will pay ($10,000-$15,000 below what their quote is) and pull out your cheque book/credit card to let them know you mean business and are ready to sign up on the day.

Dont worry about the competition pack.....Hope you watched top gear tonight so you know what i mean

whyw8 · 03-08-2011, 04:33 AM

I love the wheels on the competition pack - what the cost price of an m3?

rossiM3 · 03-08-2011, 04:35 AM

what do you mean cost price?

I think they are only $120,000 cost price but what kills it is the luxury car tax + on roads

whyw8 · 03-08-2011, 03:14 PM

im happy to pay a dealers cost price + taxes
