To continue if the Mil price is in fact less than 51K as Davo says then even with the full 10% discount the MSRP would be 56.67K... which sounds very likely to me.
$56,667 is my new best guess Jason

I don't mean to be splitting hairs, but Davo said $50700 for MIL sales pricing, which would translate to $56333 at 10% discount.

I just used 51K to be conservative.. Plus, 56,667 just sounds like an MSRP for a car you know.... Jason

BMWNA would be idiotic to not offer an upgraded stereo that BMW has already developed for every other M car including Euro E92's. EDIT: Little more digging, the 2008 M5 ordering guide lists a "752 Enhanced Premium Sound" as well. Sounds like it will be the same. Last edited by Keto; 11-23-2007 at 12:49 AM..

Great news!!
Cheaper than my military sales guy quoted me. Even cheaper because I'm on the wait list for the Sedan. One thing I don't remember is, will the M3 get the gas guzzler tax? I just have to work out the logistics to pick up the car in Germany and ship it to Japan and bypass all the tax men. Unfortunately, I will still have to get raped by the Japanese emmissions testing board. Time to sell the convertible to someone who actually gets to drive with the top down. |

Then the non Military price is...
Quote:
1. Is the $50.7k figure firm or nor? 2. Your estimate of the Coupe, non-Military base price is then: $50.7k/(1-.124) - $1k = $56.9k or... ($50.7k - $1k)/(1-.124) = $56.7k You'll just have to be CRYSTAL clear here. 3. How much of a +/- would you place on the 12.4% figure? |

I am currently stationed in Germany and my rep states that shipping is now included in the price. Maybe it's because I am in Germany heading back to the states...will follow up on this. V/r George |

And to answer the above question. If you can get the military to ship it for you it is a bit easier. Here is how you do it. 1. Ship the car to the nearest port. 2. Get the personal property / shipping guys to write you a letter that allows you to import a car for personal use. 3. Pay the customs guy around $800 to open the container in a bonded area... it also has to be shipped from the dock to the area by a flat bed. You can probably skip this if your car is shipped by the military. 4. Get the car inspected on base. 5. Get insurance 6. Get the car offically weighed and emissions tested... 2 days and $2000. 7. Pay all the taxes... junking tax, road tax, weight tax... luckily no VAT or automobile acquisition tax. 8. Get some more insurance... because it will take you about a month to get it cleared through all the hurdles... and your JCI will be one month short by the time the process it over. 9. Of course then you have to go to the LTO to get a tag and then back to base to get your base tag. 10. That is not including all the trips to the temporary tag office or trips to the base vehicle registration office. Needless to say it is VERY painful. Expect a month and lots of headaches. Also about $4000. But I figure if you don't have to pay gas guzzler or state tax (shipped directly from elsewhere) or pay the 5% VAT and 5% Automobile aquisition tax (if buying from a Japanese dealer), it's worth it. Sorry to go off topic but this thread seems to be populated mostly by military folks. BTW, I think I drive the only non Gray market E46 M3 Convertible in Japan. The Japanese dealer still services my car. One final thing... were you looking at the M5 that they have on the lot in Germany? $69.9K for a 2008 model? I would be driving that thing if it wasn't a manual tranny. |

2006 MY Base MSRP 49900 2006 MY MIL Disc 6100 49900 x 12.4 =6187 (so I rounded to 6100 close enough) So the base MIL price MY 2006 was 49900-6100 or $43800 The following are the most accuarate and recent figures around as I know it. But are NOT in STONE yet... SO if the newly quoted MIL Base price is 50700 then the price increase is 6900. 6900 x 12.4 = 855 855 (Additional Disc based on higher MSRP) + 50700 (New MIL Price) + 6100 (Previous known Discount) = $57655 That "should" answer all questions about my calculations. If you feel my numbers are flawed, move past the flaming and just post your calculations

Here are the KEY pieces of information: 1. 2006 Base 2. 2006 MIL Base 3. 2008 MIL Base The logical way of calculating the 2008 Base from this info is quite simple: (06 Base/06 MIL Base) * (08 MIL Base) = 08 Base Plugging in Numbers: (49900/43800) * (50700) = 57760 While this is essentially the same number you quote, your inferences and assumptions to come up with your calcuations are somewhat convoluted. I think it would have been much more straightforward with far less flaming to just post raw numbers and let people on here come up with various calcuations. Your known numbers aren't flawed, just the design of your calculations.
