Yes I am aware of that this is not standard and I am very grateful for this chance. after looking around for so many many years and now having that great opportunity, almost nothing can stop me from finally pulling the trigger :-)

25-30% off msrp? So the dealer is going to take a bath to give you a discount? Unlikely. Can't be more than 10% discount.

It‘s a fleet discount agreement between my employer (a swiss private bank) and VW, Audi, Mercedes, Skoda, BMW and so on. Under certain conditions (beeing at least Authorized Officer or higher) one is allowed to get new (and ONLY new) cars from besaid brands.
Discounts between 15% and 25% are common, sometimes they go up as high as 35%. For the M2C it will be somewhere between 25% and 30%, gonna fight about this next week.. This is how it works. Already did this in the past for our family car (skoda octavia), worked like a charm and all official/legal. |

Now that the topic of the fleet program came up, does anyone know if we will be able to use it in the US for the M2 Comp? When the original M2 first came out, it was not available for fleet pricing. More recently (in the last year or two I believe) they have added the M2.
I am going to order the competition regardless but would love to get fleet pricing. |

I agree 100%...as Colin Chapman said: "Adding power makes you faster on the straights ; subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere ". I can easily add 80hp to my M2 and drop 100lbs....this looks like a better option than the M2C for a lot less. P.S. I am #1 on my dealers list.

I kind of feel like the M2 is already pretty heavy honesty, so I feel like what's the difference? But I guess it's relative for each person.

I was at my local UK dealer today and he said he can't confirm the UK price but the leaked press is usually right.
I told him I would need to see the car in the flesh before I decide, he told me they had 4 deposits taken before the official release and all have cancelled and said they will wait to see and hear the car.

what sort of deposit do dealers normally ask for at this stage?
and is it refunded if you change your mind?

My configuration/offer was created by my sales rep in BMW's system today... He couldn't yet place it as an order (no build slots available), but expected to be able to do so by Monday.

Id like to be able to use the fleet discount as well. I don’t mind waiting a bit for that to be possible.
On the topic of discounts, if anyone is diplomatic in Europe the German car companies have pretty amazing discounts, on top of which the cars are tax free. 30% is possible in the right circumstances. |
