All I was told (now after 5 weeks) is that there is significant damage from off loading the vehicle. Was first told it was software update and exhaust mods for US market. After a few weeks I knew it was BS. Got some good info from fellow members and heard other similar stories.

I call bs at the deal unless I see a SS
I mean you can easily negotiate 5% off. Just buy 20 other vehicles from them.

I think people who buy lots of vehicles from a dealer think they're a master negotiator when really they just buy a lot of vehicles and they know you'll be back for several more so they want to keep your business.

It's unlikely they don't know they could get thousands more for the vehicle from someone else without having to wait long. It's also I unlikely your charm and negotiating skills are so good that you convinced them that they couldn't sell the car for thousands more with almost no time and effort.

It's much more likely they want to keep you happy because they'll make up the money by doing more business with you in the future based on your car buying habits.

I doubt they don't know how to make money - and not surprised they another dealership offered just about the same when I walked I cold today.

It's not my skills and I don't argue for last dollar, but so many of you expect this car to go at or over MSRP which is just not the case here in NY

BMW stores in boston laughed at any discount or a euro delivery allocation (smaller market) had to go 100 miles to Connecticut to find a deal ED @ msrp - the 5%

Yes they tried to play games, inflate finance rate
and claim they only could get automatic not 6MT all to get a few hundred more on the deal.

M2 is hot here in New England but we're 3 seasons, southern Cal or Florida I'm sure 3xs more requests

People in CA market can buy the car and drive it as soon as they get it.

People in markets with inclement weather have more wiggle room because the dealers, especially if they are higher volume dealers, are "losing" money (i.e. potential earnings) if they have cars sitting on the lot waiting for the right buyer.

And shopping around dealing with far away dealers can involve extra paperwork, time and effort to obtain/transport the car, indifferent/rude dealers who know they'll never see your face again, etc.

There's a price to be paid that is not just MSRP.

Yep


dealer mailed paperwork I signed it sent back BUT it was in black ink not BLUE? are you kidding? wait for another set of papers with a blue pen (lost in mail) ok, I'll drive to you 2 hours to get it done

Was on my way to NYC anyway
Note to others: euro delivery paperwork needs blue ink

My suggestion would be to call another dealer in the same market to confirm/deny.

I got 2.89% after just a bit of back and forth, and as far as I could tell, 2.89% was not advertised where I am.

I would cancel it and get them to order brand new one. The paint will never be factory, if they respray it.

Now that they're in the wrong, you got the dealer by the balls.. You just have to know how to finesses now.. (no homo).

If I was you, I would push for a 2020 MY M2C

Not taking this car

No more 2019 allocations (but there are some around that they are trying to swap with)

I can get a 2020 allocation

Having them by the balls is not actually true as there are no damages or torts here that they are exposed to, other than their reputation

I am sorry your M2C was damaged in port. The same thing happened to our 2010 Z4 after we did ED and safely navigated Europe for almost 2,000 miles. It was heartbreaking. That OLD and LONG story is somewhere in Bimmerpost. Short version, we received a new car - I hope you receive a M2C allocation ASAP and best of luck.
