M4 almost ordered for March Production - April delivery
So my amazing local BMW dealer surprised me with an incredible offer last Thursday to allow me to buy his dealer allotted 1st M4 Demo which would have guaranteed me to be among the first customers to get the car in the states. the dealer guide released here was spot on accurate with options but my dealer had absolutely ZERO information on pricing. It would be a blind order if I committed to buying demo car for whatever it was plus a set % deal over invoice. I would be able to take delivery immediately on arrival and nobody would drive the car but me nor would it have to sit in showroom until another arrived. Prod date was early march with an April delivery. My mind went crazy with visions of spring curve carving but after logic began to creep in I declined! Am I crazy!?
My dream to do ED with Alps and the Ring was too strong. I also really want the B&O sound system missing from dealer spec being that I am a huge audiophile and curious to see if I can build a loaded car with CCB for ED under $80k. Sure it would be cool to be the first and can only imagine the line of new "buddies" from local CCA chapter waiting for a turn at a test drive. I think my initial goal of a Mid-April ED delivery is looking more like a realistic expectation at this point though. What would you have done?

I think you made the right choice since you want to do euro delivery. Beside these aren't limited production cars anyway, but if you want to be the first to play when then you'll have to pay. What's more important to you first to play or euro delivery?

Exactly what the choice is at end of day. If CCB was not an option at all I may have jumped on the deal but balancing performance with common sense prevailed. Probably about two months difference and have already been waiting this long so might as well wait for the total dream scenario.

I am in the same exact position as you. I took it, it will be ordered to my specs , unfortunatley I will not be able to visualize online. I will be paying MSRP , that was agreed in writing. I am hoping that the dealer gets some type of visual configurator for me but who knows.
They will place the order in December for April delivery, although I may do PC delivery which will push it back a bit. Only reason I did this is because my current f10 lease is up 11/22 and needed to put a deposit down on something to get lease extended. Did not want to risk not having a car for a while if demand for this thing is high. Otherwise I could have waited easily. |

It seems some or most dealers are getting their demo M4 in April. My dealer who I got my last e92 from also called me last Friday to come and try out the new M4 in April.
I'll go and drive it, but I won't be able to get into one until 2015 when my current lease is over.... |

I would have backed off too. I like what I like and for that amount of coin I want it optioned to fit my liking. I would not pay over MSRP either!!

For a car of this price (or really, any car), you should have it spec'ed exactly the way you want it. No reason not to wait.

You were offered local delivery at a % over dealer invoice? I would jump on that in a heartbeat, unless your dead set on having an awesome ED experience. The dealer order guide does have 688 HK surround sound, do you think the B&O will be offered?
Also have you spoken to your SA about the possibility of BMW taking ED deliveries out of dealer allocation like they did with the outgoing e90M3? Would they still offer ED with discount? Good luck and post often! |

I am using the factory direct pricing through military auto sales. They are saying I will have a May delivery. Super tough to beat considering the unreal amount I will be saving.

I'm #1 on my dealer's list, been on the list since November last year, and they said ordering for the F80 M3 starts in May. Are the M4s rolling out a month or 2 in advance?

1) Not available on 4er. 2) Most demo cars come loaded. In the case of the E92 M3, they were fully loaded MR/BB cars. If B&O were available, it would have already been on that list. Regardless, I'd do ED. I can't think of a better way to spend a vacation. Something you will never forget.
