Reasonable discount for leftover 2024 BMW i4 in DMV - weird color?

I have been looking at an i4 lease and was about to do a deal on a 2025 when I spotted a leftover car in Delaware that has the options I’d want. It’s a special order color that’s probably a bit polarizing, and it was first listed for sale 319 days ago. It is likely the only 2024 model this color in the country with the option package I’m looking for.

Does that equate to a bigger discount, or a smaller one? as I understand, 2024 has same or even weaker incentives than 2025 right now. If I went in and asked for this car for 12-14% off for being a leftover 2024, would I be the unreasonable buyer?

First thing to check is whether BMW still has lease support for a 2024.

For that amount of days on the lot I’d offer low, they won’t be offended they will be excited somebody’s interested lol.

It does not look like there is lease support on the 2024 based on BMW’s website, but it’s hard to tell.

If anyone has the answer, I’d appreciate it!

There is, and the terms are the same as those on the 2025. The problem with dealerships holding onto cars like this (and this car has been in stock since May 2024) is that they haven’t sold it because they are not willing to play ball.

So you can go to the Edmund’s forums 2024 BMW i4 leasing questions and ask. The moderators usually have a decent turn around time (same day within a couple of hours) or you can pay $10 to leasebackr and become a super supporter to have all the information at your fingertips. What’s the weird color BTW?

Unless the car has some options which are absolutely not possible to be found on 25 units why bother with this dealer

I am advertising new 2025 units for 15% off plus all incentives.

This dealer is just waiting for a customer to walk in with little to no knowledge about what the market discount is on them and take it off their hands.

If he would have taken 12-14% off on it than it would be gone by now.

On the one hand, any dealership would be insane for bag holding a teal i4 this deep into the model year cycle.

On the other hand, this dealership seems to like holding bags and not discounting.

Shoot your LH worthy lease offer over, worst they can do is say no.

I don’t disagree. That’s why I’m asking.

the 15% off deals do not seem to be relevant to the northeast region, at least not what I have seen on offer here.

I’m not crushed to not have this color, so rather than waste time with it if it’s something they want to hold, I’ll just go forward with my broker deal on a 2025. I do get a small break on taxes in my state for having a car one model year older, but it doesn’t matter given the price of these cars.

I am based in North East. My dealers are based in NY/NJ/CT/PA with some dealers who will ship the car at the customer’s expense and others who require in-person pickup.

If you have a broker giving you 15% and is local to you, that is the way to go and if not let me know what you are looking for.

Is there still lease support on 2024 M8 coupe? If so, same as March 2025 numbers? TIA

In fairness, 15% off new i4’s is an extreme outlier and I think you know that lol

Yes, there is still support. It’s still March, so I’m not sure what you mean by “same as March 2025 numbers.”

How can you go from driving a Taycan to a M8 to a Fiat 500?

Thanks everyone for your thoughts on the individual color car. Signing a deal today on a different car with @Ashleigh’s help!
