Lime Rock Edition at discount? - Page 3

X2Board · 11-04-2012, 05:08 PM

Having seen the LRP in person, I won't have a problem having it as a DD. The only downside is not being to claim "It wasn't me."

dealerships want to get as close to sticker as possible for this car

Hothonda · 11-05-2012, 02:30 PM

New to M3s.

Limerock w/stick v DCT?

Have been quoted MSRP -$500 for the stick. MSRP on DCT (different dealers). I know the auto shifts great, but looking into your crystal balls - popularity down the road for resale?

Thanks!

Agreed, but some are willing to deal

You can't look at it that way though, comparing a stripper M3 (60k) vs a fully loaded M3 with Performance part.

When you add the price of all those options + Individual paint, it will cost more than the LRP Edition M3 anyway.

Now if you think that the Performance parts aren't worth the $$ to let's say other aftermarket vendors, that's a completely different story.

my local dealer has one of these on the showroom floor...the color is not for me but it does make a statement...they want a $20k markup over msrp for the car...so if you thought it was bad at msrp, how does $100k sound?

cged14 · 11-05-2012, 06:10 PM

the dealerships i worked with in looking at them each loaded minus the sunroof, one was dct and one was manual, were "only" looking at a 2-3k dealer mark up...but if you really want the status of the limited edition, why not? pretty sweet color.

This is an excellent example of "not worth it"

Beautiful car, congrats buddy

Congrats! Lucky you got the OE black rims!

NickC6Z06 · 11-07-2012, 11:01 PM

Well I seen one in person at my local dealership, it's gorgeous. I sat in it and love the steering wheel. I'm not a BMW or an m3 owner. I have a c6Z06 and I'm debating on trading in my Z for this M but damn it's alot of coin!!!! Am I crazy for considering the LImerock? Maybe but I do spend my time at that track and it would be a nice change coming from a Z to this. Oh and Im new to the DCT tranny. Never experienced it but hear amazing things about it. Some body talk
Me out of this decision lol

If you plan to buy it- might be worth it for future resale value.
If you dont mind the color then i guess its a good idea, what dealership did you see one in?

The last letters in his post says DCT as well as the "Drives:", I am going to guess DCT

Peahi · 11-09-2012, 03:34 PM

Sweet!!!!! Congrats!

mswaz · 11-09-2012, 03:40 PM

Thanks for all the input, I just locked up the 6MT Lime Rock i've been considering, with great pricing. Going to be out of town so can't go down and pick it up until next week.

Very excited and despite all the naysayers about how this isn't worth the money and so forth. Forget it, Exhaust, wheel and unique paint alone is worth it to me.

I like my cars to remain looking stock and with these mods. albeit mostly cosmetic, its a perfect blend of stock and uniqueness.

Thanks to Hothonda for pushing me over the edge.
