Gas Guzzler tax doesnt figure into MSRP... And, like you said, it all depends what the base price is. I could easily see the 69K being a well optioned M3. Jason

GGT = $1700 estimated
TP = $4300 estimated (Nav is a $2100 option in the E9x, EDC should be another $2000 plus $500 Comfort Access and the M-Drive ($??) minus package discount) PP = $2300 estimated (is $2550 in the 335i with almost the same equipment minus lumbar) CP = $1000 (normally is) 19" = $1800 (E46 M3 price) = $11,100 estimated... make it $10,000 and I think that it is a deal. |

I have read mention of "fighting for my freedom" that I "take for granted" but, isn't the first freedom mentioned in the constitutional amendments the freedom of speech? Now, is that only the freedom to blindly praise those in the military? I guess it seems to me that those in the military are fighting for my freedom to speak my mind and share my opinions, even if I am derogatory and dissenting with regards to those in the military and their operations. No? I've got my freedoms mixed up? Please enlighten me.

Absolutely correct - never served, never will.

What I think is sad is the Military sales program was started years old by BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche (they dropped theirs) to show their appreciation for the US Military for protecting and rebuilding their country that we destroyed.... and the US auto makers really don't offer a similar program. Back on topic.... I can't wait until Monday. |

I believe most of your taxes go to old people and poor people and disabled people. The country just goes into debt for wars. But thats cool cause the more the government spends, the more money comes back into the population. The country has always been in debt except for that one time with Clinton but that was the exact time the country went into a recession too... i dont know if anyone noticed that? government surplus equaled recession. not that it was to blame, but it did happen at the same time. and you can't blame that on bush cause he wasn't in office until 6 months after the country was up to its neck in a recession.
but im just babbling here... working the night shift, im half asleep... what was the topic? oh yea, m3 price is coming out monday! nice, all it means for me though is what options I'll be able to get and what options i can't afford - not like i'm making 400k a year yet. I'm only 22 - give it 5 years

You're absolutely right - and I'm proud of who I am. I stand by everything I've said in this thread. And what makes this country great is that I have the freedom to my opinions and the freedom to voice those opinions, even when my sentiments aren't popular. Isn't that what all of you military folks were and are fighting for?

Although I have vehemently disagreed with aerisolphaln in the past, and am not so fond of his arrogance, I side with him on Military automobile discounts. First, today there is simply no logical connection between the two. You Military guys make it sound like some god given right to pay less for some luxury cars then us non-military folks. Next, last I checked, there was not a draft. Why should a voluntary balance between risk and reward entitle one to less expensive cars? In the end the cost must be borne by other buyers and it amounts to an unfair tax and entitlement program. I know you guys and your families have hard jobs and hard lives. I can appreciate that but you have some great benefits as well. Why is not pride of doing a tough job and the respect, admiration and thanks from your supporters enough? Do you really think cheap BMWs are the required appreciation? Perhaps I might also be grilled on if I have ever served and the answer is no. But would I feel entitled to less expensive luxury cars if I was serving? No I wouldn't. Sure I'd appreciate it but I would not feel entitled to it.

The military discount is a part of the benefits for serving overseas. Just like free health care.
We don't feel entitled to it, its a part of the pay/benefit package. I don't hear anyone else complaining about someone else's salary. No one is being forced to "subsidize" us, that is BMW's policy... complain to them. Or don't buy their products in protest. Stop your griping. If you want the discount... go to your recruiter and ask for a tour in the sand. Moderator , please lock this tread. It is way off topic... and I am really starting to get irked at the insulting comments. |
