Last weekend I decided to do some hacking. I think this was a very solid deal on a monster car and a foreshadowing of what may be to come on M8 Comps. A lot of 2024 aged inventory with 2025s on lots already. Unfortunately not many wanted to play as I spent a good chunk of the afternoon with paltry discounts ranging from 5% off to 10% and one 12% off and that was about it. However, I did find one dealer that wanted to play and wound up getting this for 18.5% off MSRP pre-incentive (goal was to as close to 20% as possible w/ no or very small MF markup). I am also doing 12K miles per year, with 7500 it was $75/mo cheaper roughly ($1316/mo + tax). I also received just a slight markup on the money factor. Base MF is .00180 and reached this discount with only a .00195 markup (15 basis points). Apparently this equates to about a $17,500 loser according to the Sales Manager. With the pre-incentive discount + the BMW rebate ($8,000) it wound up being a $35,XXX total discount. This was a new unit, not a demo. Numbers below:
Thanks for this. I grabbed a 25 M8 GC today after a few calls. Didn’t get as good of deal. About a $100 more a month but I’m happy. Didn’t realize the discounts and incentives were that good until your post.
Also, for anyone else in the market. Just spoke to my advisor at another dealer, Westchester BMW. They have a 24 owner demo with 5k miles for $25,000 off plus loyalty of $7,500 I think (may be $5,500). Can be leased as well. If interested give Emon a call at Westchester BMW.
I wonder if the monthly insurance bill is greater than the monthly lease payment
Instead of the “1% rule” LH will have a new rule that leases should not be more than the insurance payment. @z0lt3c needs one of these instead of another EV.
Haven’t had a bmw M for a while, does the brake dust still come out heavy especially front wheels. I hated that every time i got a car wash 2 days later wheel were blacked out lol bmw was notorious for that
Yeah, it’s like that on anything with those size brakes and calipers the pads produce dust unless you have Carbon Ceramic - they leave 0 dust. I have had a few cars with those, but my prior M4, Z06, AMGs, etc with iron brakes, always heavy brake dust. You can buy other pads but I am not going to bother. I am going to ceramic coat the car and they will do the wheels, it will help a little bit.
I noticed the brake dust as well lol. You hit the nail right on the head - you will never win that battle with sizable brakes/rotors. Doesn’t matter what vehicle it is. Carbon ceramic is the only way.
