No reason to wait. I'm happy to order the Fire Orange M3 for you. I'm a bit biased on the color. Personal M3 below

You know there is a LRP in manual at autotrader. Here a link of the car at a BMW dealer. You can save your 5k on special paint and get this.

good eye man! I looked a few days ago and didn't see anything...maybe missed it. Either way, thanks for the heads up!

That one doesn't even have leather seats. The dealer has a mark up on that car for sure.

OP: He's right about one thing, there are 6 speed LRE out there. There was a thread with another member who had leads on a couple at invoice. You definitely need to look it up.

Good luck with the search

thegeneral101 · 12-31-2012, 06:24 AM

^^ Thanks bud. Yeah I'm doing some research, might have a decision today. Also, I've heard different things from different people, but some are claiming BMW says you can't order fire orange anymore since that would lessen the LRE's value. Seems plausible to me.

That Warwick LRE car is pretty nice, and there's something about M race cloth seats that makes complete sense and adds to the purity of that LRE. The price seems lower than others with marked up LREs as well.

sin911 · 12-31-2012, 08:53 AM

^ Well, I'm telling you.

I just read on the forum that a member found a couple LRE's at Invoice, not even MSRP, let alone a mark up.

The fact is the car on the above link only doesn't even appear to have any options on it. I think the MSRP for the LRE was around $73k, and this dealership is asking $79k

I've read that thread, but the last guy that posted about finding three manuals under invoice...not quite sure. All of the manuals are going for just over invoice, and the dealers aren't being as aggressive as they are on normal M3's

I really don't know the market. I just wanted to share what I read.

Unfortunately manuals are harder to find these days...

yeah they really are...sucks. Pretty soon they will be completely phased out, so figured I'd give it one more go around. Thanks for the posts.

thegeneral101 · 12-31-2012, 04:44 PM

So I ended up not going this route, thanks for all of the input!

I put down $1000 when I ordered. The form states that a deposit must be made, iirc. But this is a form to actually get the order scheduled. If you just want to know if a color is available, maybe that's a different route. When my dealer and I "asked," the answer was a production number. It actually caught me by surprise, and I had to ask for a new date. My car was done a month before I picked it up.
