Trying costs you nothing. They love to have your signature on the dotted line.

However, as a call girl recently reminded me; ain't nothing free in this world.. You pay for the privilege and it pays to look at the big picture. I could easily sign and drive away with any automobile, under a 100k but if I'm not careful, It'll come back to bite me, everyday, for the next 60 months or so.. So I try to that take the instant gratification rush, out the equation and realistically look at overall sicker price to value, then figure out what it is going to cost me, in the long run.. I've seen that sign and drive mentality financially sink a lot of my friends and family but you know, humans.. They see it is as "The bank trust me, so they must figure I'm good for it." Which is so wrong, on so many levels. Circumstances change everyday and cars are secured collateral, that can legally be recovered, at any time you default. You're only as good as your next payment. TL : DR : Even automobiles with lofty price tags, like the CS, are real easy to physically obtain, via financing but keeping it is the hard part. Look before you leap and don't be like my hood rich neighbor; with a 100k Beamer truck but can't afford to pay his parking tickets Rant over. |

@Poochie very well said! Aston Martin is offering financing for what people pay for a M5. Getting cars X beyond your salary is really not that difficult and there are numerous financial models that can allow you to afford something above what you're capable of buying. Look at some of the YouTube stars that afford exotics or seemingly change their cars every 6 months. They're buying into short term exotic rentals essentially, but the cost for those X months are much higher if you were to stretch it to the end.
It's astonishing how expensive cars are these days. I think I read a year ago, the average car price was around $30K. But for auto nuts like us, when was the last time we went out and purchased a $30K performance car, new! Even a Honda Civic Type R is pushing $40K

The color is my jam. I think it's closer to 4s faster. I was unaware that there was a cup 2 (ZP) run flat tire.

The new Euro Delivery policy has me considering the CS if I get a slot by 5/18.
No way, I would buy a new BMW w/o ED discount and experience. My last two BMW's have been Euro Delivery and manual transmissions, I said as long as BMW keeps offering those items I would chose it over the competition. Not sure I will ever own another new BMW, if I can not get Euro Delivery. |

I am stunned, it sounds nuts, but not sure I buy any new cars without some type of "experience"....might as well go with slightly used, makes much more financial sense. I always justified the new cars for the Delivery Experience. |

I am number one as well at the store I work for. I'm going to look into some things tomorrow. If I'm reading the details correctly it would mean we need a 'pre-reservation' so I'll see what can be done there. I'm not optimistic since Leipzig isn't scheduled to open until the 18th and we already saw that ROW allocations were being made first. So if US allocations are going to be the later half of production (originally scheduled for March-Dec) it doesn't seem like lining up a Sept 2020 Euro Delivery would be very feasible.
I hear ya on the 'Experience' part of the purchase. It is very important to me too. I'm so bummed. I was holding out hope that production would be extended on the CS to match the end of the F87 line (June '21?) in which case Euro Delivery could have happened next summer.

At first, I thought you would be interested due to the exclusivity factor and uniqueness of the M2CS. But you're now saying you're no longer interested in the M2CS because of no ED.
