There will be a fee. Most brokers have multiple friends throughout multiple dealerships and will help them by finding buyers for cars they can't unload, or to unload the 'end of month' units that net the dealer another allocation so dealers are motivated to use them. For example a local broker had 2 lot sitting RS3s last weekend and 1 would sell for for $1000 below MSRP but had to happen on or before 3/31 as the dealer would get an extra allocation if they sold one before months end. The broker contacted me the day before because he knew I was shopping the RS3 against the M2. Otherwise those are still going for a bit of an ADM around here. That's how brokers work. Find them on instagram, they will usually post their crazy deals (the Audi eTron GTs going for 500-600/month leases earlier this year were nuts but it was real).

6% off an ordered M2 right now is ridiculously good, jump on that if its real. In the before-times 6% off an M-car was the expected starting point of negotiations.

Brokers also use sites like leasehackr where nationwide you can see deals from various dealers doing ridiculous incentives, typically from high-volume "puppy mills" (I picked up an ordered TRX during the pandemic for 11% off MSRP for example, but it was 5 states away - what a trip!).

For everyone here seemingly on the west coast who are still being forced to pay "over MSRP" - there are plenty of dealers east of you selling for MSRP or slightly under - email is your friend. You don't have to buy close to home - buy from somewhere else and have it shipped, go pick it up, or do PCD. You don't have to play that game - seems intimidating but it's not, dealers are quite versed in selling out of state to individuals, they make it super easy.

Did you confirm this with your CA? I plan on getting ahold of mine tomorrow to confirm.

Thats wild, I was lucky enough to snag 1.5k off my G80 last year but I can't imagine being able to get anywhere passed that for the G87. Any tips and tricks on how I could attempt to?

I managed 4k off an order.

Depends on the dealer

Exactly. Depends on the dealer and the time that you hit the dealer - I suspect with the M2 when the 20+ HP increase for next year was announced a lot of people on the list deferred to 2025 and the dealers were left with some allocations they just wanted sold. I went from #7 on my local dealer's list to #2 (my favorite number apparently if you believe my avatar haha) in 2 months. That HAD to be people getting out of line who either got an allocation elsewhere or more likely decided to wait (thinking interest rates would come down later in the year maybe?)

For gee80thing -- If you don't want to be contacting a lot of dealers try to find a broker if you can, or use a car buying service like PenFed has, or just make a list and email a bunch of dealers. My first F80 in 2015 was $1000 under invoice for a first year model car and I jumped on it, know your price and just say yes, don't torture them. Got that just by emailing 6 dealers asking for their best offer on an ordered car and it was at the end of the month (I didn't plan it that way, just how it worked out). Had to go out of state but it worked, I had spoken to my local dealer and they had a waiting list and rather than string me along recommended I try elsewhere.

Wow lease an M2 as a track car!?!?
This is great example why I hesitate to buy a used car… even a low mileage lease turn in.

picked up the car today, so it took from Feb 22nd production date to April 8th for a southeast delivery

Car is great, was getting a lot of attention at the dealer. Some water spots and light scuffs on the frozen paint but I had my CA keep them from doing anything to the exterior, I'll hit it with Dr. Beasely's paint cleanser.

From genius today:
Received at VPC in Newark on 4/8/2024.
Work order started on 4/8/2024. (Will be getting MP HAS).
Work order expected to be completed and estimated to leave VPC and assigned to carrier by 4/13/2024

My car changed to “at the port” days before it actually got to the Newark port. For a few days there, it looked like it got off the port in Baltimore, but seems to not be the case.

CA said the car should be at the dealership in CT “inside of two weeks.” It looks like I’ll take possession some time next week, which will then be picked up by detailer directly from dealership to get ppf, ceramic, and tints.

UPDATE (4/10/2024): CA said it’s estimated to arrive at the dealership on 4/15/2024

Well guys I have a 2022 M240i that I will be trading in and really excited that I put a deposit down because I think this will be one of the best drivers cars Bmw has to offer! Wanted to know if anyone else has put any deposits or looking to order one soon?!

Very good. Tell them you want a 2025 model. More power for certain and likely additional enhancements. I made.a deposit on one two years ago, took that same advice a few days later, contacted my sales rep and he confirmed.

Perhaps a longer wait, though likely worth it.

So far I'm really liking the steering in sport and the ZF8 M gear selector is a huge step up from the standard BMW one as well, so satisfying to go into/out of reverse and over to drive, switching from manual paddle back to normal is more intuitive too

I'm gunna stick with dr. beasley's ceramic coat although I may end up getting ppf on the front bumper and rocker panels, depends a lot on where you live some people report their front end looking sand blasted after a few years, others like me have to be a foot away from our bumper looking for chips to notice anything

Im leaning towards stealth ppf at least the for the front end based on how chipped up the front end of my 2021 330i lease is right now lol . I need the peace of mind

I plan on ordering an M2 but am waiting to finalize until options/specs are confirmed for the '25 model year.
