IMHO, at asking price, it is a horrible deal. For all intents and purposes, it is a 2 year-old car with 24K miles (avg as a daily driver). To give some perspective, the residual value of a 3 year lease is typically 46-50%. That car's sticker price was about $54K. Yes, the M2 is relatively limited in supply (for now) but buying a 2 year old car at 92% residual is ridiculous. We are NOT talking about Cayman GT4 here.

To assess 10% depreciation for each of the first 2 years is to be generous. At that rate, that car is worth $45K at best in my book. I am sure there are people out there that are willing to pay over $45K for it, but certainly not me. YMMV

im2, this is by far a better deal: http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1429710

2017 LBB with Exec Pkg and other nice tidbits. Only 12k miles, at $49,000

well i went into the dealership today and was put on the list, currently im looking at q2 for european delivery. i put in for the LBB, manual, executive pkg., and car play. debated on the color. the mineral gray looks awesome as well. salesman mentioned that i would have a very limited amount of time to make up my mind on color. i figured i would have at least until they give the allocation? either way very excited to go to europe

You can change your mind on all configurable things until it goes to status 150 (production start). And that happens way after you get an allocation. You should get a production number after you get allocation --- and you can STILL make changes even with a production number - up until it hits status 150.

Check out the "tracking status" sticky in this forum if you want all the details.

BTW - The car in LBB is amazing. I just took delivery of my LBB - far exceeded my expectations in real life. I've the exact same build as yours.
