Holy Markup Batman!

I thought the music added a sense of whimsy to the insanity of that markup.

Oh my god, you had me laughing out loud there. I'm not one to cast aspersions on others' musical tastes.

To each their own when it comes to music.

But, yeah, WTF was that soundtrack???

Seriously WTF is that music?! Don't even care about the car at this point!! LOLOL.

I'm not sure if it's the soundtrack to a Kentucky tractor ride or to a Kingston version jam-blast in Jamaica

My local dealer had three allocations available for 5k over sticker. All sold within 3 hrs of them posting the ad online...

JayPichardo · 08-29-2018, 02:52 PM

Two things:

- That's a ridiculous mark up for an M2

- Get that M car off that i Car stand NOW!!!

gds52 · 08-29-2018, 02:53 PM

Lol..they did same thing with the M2 and look what happened. Someone will pay so why not !!!
Others will wait and get at MSRP.

F85Matt · 08-29-2018, 02:53 PM

Doing it 4 years and never marked up a car

slalomfever · 08-29-2018, 02:54 PM

I have not run the number but someone says M4 ZCP lease is cheaper than M2C

All BMW M depreciate about 45-50% in 3 years, last year I was looking at 2015 M6 GC for $59K, nice but used car so there is always risk.

Mine dropped 55% (60% if sold privately) lol. Thank god for leasing. Dollar for dollar worse than 911 Turbo ( though they have held value unusually well lately ).

That's the platform designed for i cars that it's sitting on too. LOL.

allen3ybq · 08-29-2018, 03:05 PM

I think Dealer will earn more business if they sell these cars at good prices to car enthusiasts because they will refer all their families and friends to the same dealer for other BMWs.

COChris · 08-29-2018, 03:05 PM

Is this the same car? I follow the M2 Competition tag on Instagram and came across this guy's post.

Update: not his car.

bradleyland · 08-29-2018, 03:06 PM

It's Braman. Of course it's marked up $20k. Braman is the dealer where all the trust fund babies in Palm Beach go to do their one-stop-shopping on BMW, Porsche, and Rolls Royce. Don't even bother walking in the place if you're not wearing designer clothes and a Patek on you wrist.

Darth One · 08-29-2018, 03:07 PM

Lol. Why am i not at all surprised that this is a South Florida dealership. I'll say one thing about Braman, though - their WPB staff are very friendly...so this is the place you test drive the car and then buy elsewhere.

I've called them and Vista on their practices multiple times and they just shrug and say "hey, people pay our prices". Which is fair enough, but if you pay that markup then you lose any right to complain about your situation later.

The smart buyers obviously shop online.

Difference is that the 1M was a very limited edition production run of 1 year compared to the M2CP which is 3-4 years. It's the early adaptors who have to be first on the block to show off $$.

that's the most messed up part imo. literally dumb buyers pay the markup and dealers will continue to do it leaving less and less deals for people who don't like being ripped off. makes no sense logically

whoever bought that car doesn't do much research and doesn't respect his $$. trust fund baby? probably.

Bonkers! Feel for you guys in the States, in about 6 months we would have Pre-Reg cars potentally stacking up!
