I am planning to order one for ED. I have visited two local dealers here in South Florida and they said that can not give me a better price than is set for ED. I am aware that ED has 7% discount in the base price but I expect to get more discount....am I expecting too much? would be able any dealer give me an additional discount? I don't mind to go shopping around since I need to pick the car up on Sep 15 so I have some time....any suggestions? any dealer recommendation?
Thanks in advance for your help. Jorge |

Sure, we all know the agruments about how "leasing" discourages dealers to stock anything out of the ordinary. And how it dooms the manual-transmission option. The problem starts with their shortsightedness and can only be fixed with some wisdom by BMW. Why are we so different than British customers? They have the manual transmission option on just about everything. It's good strategy there! |

That is going to be the case on all MY15 models. Enhanced BT and USB will be a $500 stand alone option

what color options will M Sport have? according to UK Config, looks like no mineral white or Melbourne Red for M Sport, that seems extremely silly.
also I see the UK (and probably the rest of the world except the US and Canada) can get Merino Leather as an individual option, why does't BMW offer this in the US? Last edited by Mako; 03-26-2014 at 01:27 PM.. |

Take rates are very low for manual transmissions in the US. We aren't buying them, so BMW isn't sending them. That's the analysis.

Agreed - then again since no dealer stocks them, it is very hard to buy them without ordering them so that makes it even harder to get one. It is a lose/lose situation.

lest we forget, the vast majority of people buying these are Not enthusiasts like this crowd and thus prefer automatic. Honestly...I am very likely going to place an order for one...and I'm fine with the automatic. I am treating this like an everyday family car with some punch more than my weekend car.

For my last one ED 328 coupe, I got it for $500 over Euro Invoice from South Bay BMW. The Euro Invoice prices used to be published on the forums. Unfortunately, they do not post it anymore. Any additional information is always welcome! Thanks, Ant |

Agreed, though that is where this discussion gets interesting. I like a good MT as much as the next guy, but we've gotten to the point where you actually GIVE UP a little performance in a MT, compared to modern automatics. The MT choice these days is more about experience than performance. Which makes the target market even smaller.

I got a quote from a dealer offering me $1,645 discount on the ED price. No dealer fees and no shipping ($925).....it has been the best that I have gotten so I guess that I will accept it....how about you guys?
