Now if BMW decides to drop the stipulation that M4's come from dealer allocation, ignore everything I said and do ED. The deals can get crazy and it's easy to get an ED M4 at invoice + $500. At that price point, there is no comparison.

I would love to do a ED, but I am a bit intimidated since I don't speak German. I like leasing since it's a write off for me. So over the 3 years I'll save about $9k, not bad considering I'm only paying $4k in finance cost. That and the added benefit of freeing my capital.

You can get these cars at ED invoice + $500-$1000 now, even though allocations are still being limited.

This allocation thing is new to me. I didn't know that dealers are limited by BMW allocations. I would think they want to sell as many cars as they can. So are there times when BMW does not stipulate that ED come out of dealer allocations? And what time of the year are allocations not tight? I checked with a local dealer today and they said they usually sell the ED at 2k above invoice.
