Just got back from local dealer...

This is a pricing question. I was told that for a 2011 E92 in SGM w/ technology package through ED would be $60k w/ guzzler tax and delivery included. Dealer said best they could do would be about $1k off. Even at $59k, by my math, that's around $3,600 over invoice. He said I'm misinformed. Do I have my numbers wrong?

Base MSRP $58,400
Euro Delivery MSRP $54,310
Space Gray Metallic $550
Anthracite & Black Cloth/Leather $0
Titanium Shadow trim $0
Technology Package $3,250
Destination & Handling: $875
Gas Guzzler Tax: $1,300
Total MSRP as Built $64,375
-$4,090
Euro Delivery MSRP $60,285
-$1,000 Discount= $59,285

I think you're right. European Delivery invoice on the above configuration is $55,600. +3,600= 59,200.

That is indeed $3.6k over ED invoice. For comparison, people are getting ~500 - 1500 over ED invoice here.

Go find another dealer that is willing to give you a better price.

I have a 2011 E92 M3 on order right now for $1500 over invoice. For a ED car, there is no reason you can't meet or beat what I've done. Especially since ED cars don't take up a dealer car allocation.

Don't let them convince you that getting a 2011 now means you have to pay a premium. This is dealer-sided logic. Stick to your guns and remember the greatest weapon you have is the ability to walk out.

They can either make a small profit on the day you show up, or they can make no profit at all.

Thanks for the feedback - had a feeling this dealer was trying to pull a fast one. No surprise there. Looking forward to joining the club of M3 owners when the time (and deal) is right. I'm in no rush.
