MY BSM ///M2 6MT Mod Journal...The Empire Strikes Back

Hello Guys & Gals,

I'm new to this forum, but not new to Bimmerpost. Long Story short a very minor accident and an idiot body shop came to the conclusion my engine was seized. Being the S65 is over $15k for sa high mileage long block (S65 are know for throwing rod bearings with higher mileage too,but that's beside the point.) It was enough to be a total loss. Somehow progressive got me $10k over KBB value

Anyway, I had a late 2011 production E92 M3 6spd and 40k miles or over 2 years left on my warranty and even though I had a good amount of performance mods I got covered 100% EVERY TIME (New Transmission, New Rear, among a dozen other things...Even had a short shifter and BMW threw on a new clutch FREE, not to mention free maintenance....

I'm not super liquid right but I considered a few s/d'd E9X's, but after some thought I realized how idiotic it is buying a high mileage car with a supercharger, known bearing issues, and NO PROTECTION.

Luckily Kevin, the older gentleman that sold me the M3 and who knew my Grandmother ( Who just died about two weeks ago) went to work and got incredible news.....Not only was I jumping the line there, which is over 6 montjs) but knowing I like black and I only have had stick cars he convinced the GM to sell me the floor model which will be here no later than 5/15 I'm told...He gave me the production number to track it, but I cant seem to figure it out? Any help would be appreciated.

So the details, Black Sapphire Metallic, "executive package" etc. and 6 SPEED, not only that but well BELOW sticker (before tax obv)

SO just wanted to introduce myself. Now. I'm in finance but ive been a trained and passionate auto tech my whole life. I already havd the endgame mapped out for the M2 already. starting with a much bigger turbo a 2.75" down pipe with an electronic cutout valve and NEW SEATS.

Sorry for the long post but I'm obviously extremely excited. Juat in-time gor the track, drag, slipstream events and BMW Meets & Shows...Here's some pics/Vids and even an M2 T shirt I've been making for my friends and I PM Me if you one LOL.

What was the price "well below sticker" because if that's the case you are the first one to pay below msrp.

There have been a couple fleet and incentive-based discounts yielding below-MSRP prices but I think you're right that this might be the first deal negotiated below MSRP as a starting point.

Of course, compared to my M3 itll feel a little sluggish, as my m3 was a freak and somehow pulled over 120MPH Traps at the strip with horrible 60ft times...But Ive been driving a Hundai Accent....Anything will feel fast. I got so board I but my HUD in it LMAO...


BTW heres the sakes slip...Looks like I paid about 57k which is slightly above sticker i guess but id say a damn good price...Sorry took so long i could figure out how to make it uploadable it was too large.

Or:
1) The dealer had planned to keep HEA car and the CA convinced owner to sell. No one moves their spot.
- Still shady, should have given others option first, if they were already in line.

2) The first buyer backed out and the CA made it appear as though he had given something significant, when really he hadn't. A common sales tactic - it is like the "let me go talk to my manager" schtick. Aids in negotiation of everything else.
- Also still shady, because honesty and transparency in a sales relationship would generally be nice.

So, something is shady here, but others may not have been directly screwed. Just my 2 cents.

Agreed. And since the actual price sheet appears to be a car with some extra goodies on it ( or a price adjustment ) it's very likely some others backed out
