Padded the walls with some foam to ease my pain getting out of the car

I think that ended. I got an email about no GST no this no that a few weeks ago. That adds up to a lot of factory backed discounts. You have to jump on that.

Sounds like this would have been months before I started hunting, before the pandemic. Looks like you guys got yourselves a nice deal!

These things, they came on cars built after March 2020.

For what it's worth:
Every mass produced vehicle be it Kia or Porsche comes with a series of margins and allowances. First there's the "Dealer Margin" which is often around 10-15% (more at times for luxury cars). Then there's the "Lot Free" which is often in the order of $3-$5k for European cars. The lot few is the money a manufacturer posts the dealer for displaying their cars. Then there's the "Floor Plan" which is an incentive to franchisees to make sure they'll sell their stock-at-hand within three months of cars landing at the dealer holding yards. Then the infamous "Dealer Delivery" fee which can be any arbitrary figure from a few hundred to a few thousand. Finally, there are end of calendar/financial year incentives. If you go to a dealer with the aim of saving, there are three perfect times to do so: 1. last week of June, 2. last week of December, and 3. end of model runout I picked up a F36 420i M-Sport Gran Coupe with every option you could poke a stick at (which was yet to leave Germany at the time) - signed with my favourite Victorian dealer on June 29th 2019 for $61,500 (plus on-roads came to $67k shipped to Adelaide) - list price was $94k on the road. That's $27k savings or a whopping 28.7% off RRP. BTW, the best I could get from local dealer was $80k so don't be afraid to call interstate dealers. Now, the interesting thing about end of December is, every dealer has quotas to meet for each calendar year. If a dealer is a couple of cars shy of meeting their quota, they will rip up money to get those sales. There might be bonuses as high as several hundred Grand they could earn if they get their quota so they'll happily sell at ten Grand below cost to get the bonuses (or avoid the penalties). In my book, the golden rule is go in December just after Xmas, ask for a car that has yet to be built, offer 20% under RRP and settle for 12-18% off. Never allow them to quote you Drive-Away prices; get to know what the actual car is costing you first. Statutory on-road costs are fixed and do not come into the equation when negotiating. If RRP for a fully loaded F87 M2C is $100k plus on-roads, at 15% discount, you should be able to get the car for $85k plus on-roads. Do it last week in December and you can potentially get another $5k off. Do this in April 2021 when they go on the runout mode, then look for 25% off, like what I got for the F32 and you'll own a M2C for the price of a M240. Good luck and good hunting Disclaimer: My ADHD mind didn't allow me to read this entire thread especially the full length of the first post.

Agree that the end of the half years is a good time to buy, but bear in mind it depends on circumstances; in COVID-struck 2020 (and now 2021), new car stocks are very short, order/delivery times uncertain or delayed, so your best bet is to scour the country's dealer stock to see what's around, and get a deal there. Example: In early Dec, I bought a 2020 build M240i, MW with leather, sunroof etc out of Qld for <$65k, well less than the list price of $89k

I bought a late MY15 M235 in 2017 - it had 12Km on the clock and had never left the showroom. I got that one for $57,500 plus on-roads. Had a lot of fun with that car and sold it in 2019 for $41k with 22k on the clock. The trick, in my experience, is to persist until you find the best deal. Very well done on your acquisition, you got a great deal

Have you decided on anything yet, Dylan? (Personally, I'd not get rid of the M140i too soon — they're going to be highly sought after — if they aren't already)

Still looking at an M2C, but the pricing is just too much right now.
I'm sceptical there's fully specced new cars that can be had for $95k, let alone $85k as has been suggested here. John gave me a lead on a car in Vic, but it's prob about $10k beyond what I'd want to spend with some options (M sport brakes) I'm not after. $100-105k is my limit, and most are priced $10k above that. Perhaps the pricing will change around Apr/May as some here have speculated as they start running out remaining stock before end of production in June. If Wayne's car had a sunroof I probably already would've bought it... |

I wonder how many of the awesome new car prices that have been claimed on here are dependent on terrible trade-in prices?
The recent decision by BMW OZ to charge 7.5k for DCT was a dick move and has pushed the retail prices of DCT M2C to ridiculous levels - I wonder if it was a negotiating tactic. |

I'd strongly prefer a manual over DCT, especially for a $7k discount, but the gearing on the 6sp is too short, especially for my commute (80% at 100km/h). Nudging 3000rpm in 6th at freeway speeds?? No deal. I don't know why BMW didn't go with a 7 speed manual like Porsche and Corvette, especially for the new M3 and M4, if not the M2. |
