That sounds like a pretty good deal in today's market. Looking forward to your initial impressions when you take ownership!

It's a luxury car. If the price is not to your liking, don't buy it! It's not a basic necessity.

Incorrect.

I guess we just operate differently, which is fine.
I really appreciate this. As others have noted this crazy market is a blip or bubble and things will normalize at some point. When they do folks will remember.
Folks don't have loyalty to a store for the most part. They have loyalty to their CAs. If you're one of those people would negotiate on pennies then you're not loyal to anyone but the final dollar.

Looks good in black. Pirelli Cinturato all seasons, 225 rears look too narrow on this car. This particular wheel design also look smaller than for example M797 in the same size R19.

The Black does look super sharp, but glad I ordered the Perf. non-run flat tires... rears are 255/35/19 which will look much better on this wider body 2 series

Taking advantage of people by charging over MSRP in this market is not very good business practice and displays a lack of business integrity IMO. Over the 25 years I've been buying cars I've come across dealerships conducting themselves in similar ways and wouldn't step foot in them again. Nobody likes to be ripped off or taken advantage of. Ultimately what goes around comes around, sometimes back to bite you in the ass!

Perhaps sometimes, but probably not the majority of the time.

Dealer A provides MSRP deals consistently.
Dealer B adjusts to the market value and adjusts price above/below MSRP.
Dealer B's practices might annoy you now, but most people will forget all about paying MSRP from Dealer A as soon a Dealer B gives them a better price.

There's very little loyalty to anything else than the best deal.

It looks so much better, IMHO, with the front blacked out. The video of the white M240 in post #54 looks great. I would definitely check that box if I were ordering.

I'm disappointed by the "cheap" (in comparison) look of the headlights compared to the adaptive versions. And of course my car doesn't have the Premium pkg. I really like how the Cerium Gray on the grilles/kidneys/mirrors and wheels all match, I will have the same 792 wheels on mine. I ties the accents and the car together. But, I can see on certain colors where the full Shadowline would look better.

Can you find out if the 3 series rubber floor mats will fit in the 2 series?

If so the front set is only $94 on BMWUSA

I'm not going to lie. I thought I was just going to look at the car and I ended up getting to take it for a drive. After that, it was like I forgot everything. Only took 3 or 4 shitty pictures. But let me say… This car is awesome!!!

What are the specs? Tried going through your post history but it's hard on mobile.

Is that an HEA model?

Car looks awesome! Congrats!
How did you like extended shadow line in person on Thundernight? Can’t see it in your pix

Nevermind, saw it in the pix your dealer sent in the other thread, looks great.
