I didn't say don't shop around. But saying "if bmw doesn't give me $2-3k off I'm gonna go get a mustang at a big discount" is STUPID. BMW isn't competing with ford. If you were to say you were shopping it with a CLA 45 AMG, than we'd have a logical comparison. |

God, you're a douchebag, not to mention, pretty unintelligent since you have no logic in your posts but are quick to just tell everyone else they are stupid for not paying sticker. Merry Christmas, enjoy paying sticker while your CA that you probably think you have such a close relationship with just sneers behind your back about taking you for a ride. |

FYI->I've owned BMW, Audi, Honda, Chevy, Ford, (My Last was a 12 BOSS 302), etc. Mustang was by far more fun to drive, handled better than an M3, sounded better than a M3 and guess what?--> It was loads cheaper than a M3...So...I'll use your 'STUPID' theory and shop around, YOU keep it to TWO choices--> Now, the M235i has me interested as a DD, it might be fun to drive + give thrills like a Go-Kart, but I won't pay crazy $$, just so I can feel special because I'm behind the wheel of a BMW...Which, is why so many purchase BMW-->IMO |

Don't pay him anymore attention, even those in the God's Chariot forum will be smart enough to cross shop the S550 at half the cost, while he will be throwing himself at his CA just so he can get the badge to floss like a big shot, when in reality nobody anywhere worth their salt actually cares what anyone else drives. |

Just to add fire to this debate I wouldn't buy a Mustang 2015 or other without a 10% discount. I can assure you that 99% of BMW owners don't shop Ford or Chevy. One niche product of BMW kinda is in the same market as Mustang but not really. The average transaction price of a Mustang is at least $10K less than a 1 or 2 series. Why would BMW want to sell cars at $20K to $30K? The 2 series isn't designed to sell 100,000 cars a year like a Mustang, the 320 and X1 are the price leaders to get people to buy a BMW. BMW competes with Mercedes, Audi, Jag, Lexus, Acura and others but the others are not Ford or Chevy.

After talking with David Aviles about the allocations, it seems that most dealer will be getting identical cars (the ones that have been in production since November) for people to test drive and check out.
I am not sure about the 228i, but the first allocation for David was "locked" into Black Sapphire Metallic and with the ZF transmission. I am sure that they're all going to look like this. Hopefully they will start showing up in dealers soon. I know my M235 will begin production the first week of January now, which is nice from a planning perspective. I am pretty sure that a dealer's allocation schedule is directly tied to how many cars they sell. So bigger dealers have more spots in line so to speak.

Yes, BMW does need to sell vehicles. Probably not the first month (or even 3) of a new vehicle with 1-2 units per month of allocation. On that, you are right. But they do need to sell vehicles to keep up with year over year performance goals.

I am a little surprised that people expect so much off on a brand new model, but Im even more concerned that BMW allows it. I guess their drive to sell as much as they can are leading to more discounts up front, which leads to lower resale values. Used to be only the American cars discounted like that. |
