Nice to see that this thread is helping in a number of ways. I think we have mostly been accustomed to see it assisting people find allocations out of area, but it certainly can be used to assist dealers in locating buyers local to them. I think that having the info here also helps as a barometer for pricing... Both dealers and buyers can get a good picture of what's available or what the market is ....

Exactly, this whole mark up debacle is destroying BMW's original intentions. The 1m was supposed to be the car to introduce the younger demographic to the world of M and also be a way for BMW to capture enthusiasts' loyalty at a young age. Instead, we have old farts with porches buying the 1m as a "winter" car and dealers trying to get 30k+ markup. Now one could say this is BMW's fault for making such a fantastic car and then limiting the production to one year and only ~1000 units. In that case, BMW: MAKE MORE 1M's. And old farts, please stick to your porches and m3's. Enjoy your high revving v8 and let us youngsters enjoy our twin turbos. |

Had they also offered DCT, I would assume the majority of cars would be ordered that way (just like the current M3). However, people are still hunting down this car with "only" 6MT and a limited color palette. I feel like they thought limiting it to 6MT and a few colors would push a bunch of potential buyers over to the M3 - sort of a teaser that gets you interested in buying ///M, but you settle for the up-sell to M3 to get a car immediately with the paint and options you want. |

I have a lead on a 1m allocation, I just walked away from. I currently have two deposits down and it looks like both most likely will go through. Dealership is willing to let it go for MSRP if you're local. He said maybe a markup if you're not. Dealer is Germain of Naples, FL Call Rick Camp 239-494-2218. Make sure to do the due diligence and make sure it's a real allocation and not a waitlist. I didn't ask any of those questions when i spoke to him. I'm just going by my initial call with him, when he said he did in fact have one available.
If one of my two deposits go into production, I'll have another one I'll be walking away from. Lets see how it goes in a month. Let me know if anyone put a deposit down. |

When I put my name back on a car in November I was #6 in line. After I heard the U.S. was to only receive so many. My father was in the process of buying a 328 for my sister, as some of you may remember lol. He told the salesman that I had my name on a 1M at another dealer. He wanted my business, for the one and only allocated car. So I gave him my options, and he took my order for a car NOT a dime over MSRP. When my car was delivered, someone was offering 10K over sticker. They still gave me my car not a dime over MSRP. I feel like I am fortunate enough to drive one of these everyday because and only because I got on it so quickly. Keep trying! If it is meant to be you will find one!

Yeah Rick Camp at Germain BMW did tell me about that one. I mentioned it in a earlier post, however not including that one, he also had another allocation that he told me wasn't spoken for. That was the one I was passing on. Did anyone go for it?

I spoke with him earlier, it seemed like he was hesitant to sell the car so soon, I guess they want to wait it out some and get over MSRP. Also seemed hesitant to sell to someone who isn't local, despite me only being about 100 miles away.

Guess that answers that, I called a few times and only got his voicemail so I left a message. But i'm in NE FL, so I'm sure the different area code was a sign that it was another non-local trying to buy it.

When I spoke to them 2 weeks ago, they said they had 2 allocations. The first was spoken for and the second was the VO. I left a voicemail with the salesman who is a friend of a friend and I'll report back with full story.

Yeah let us know. I spoke with him yesterday and I told him I would get back to him, which I did this morning. He took the VO fully loaded one that is on it's way over off the table yesterday, saying the manager wanted to give ebay a shot. He still asked if I wanted another allocation that he said he had. I told him this morning that I was going to pass on it. I'd be interested in what bdaddylo finds out.

Germain BMW only has the fully loaded VO available for ~$59k and it is supposed to be in transit. If you want it for that price, call Mike Kradsnick at 1-888-639-8403 and please tell him Richard Lo referred you. Good luck and let us know who picks it up.

I already been there back in March, they were confuse then as they are now, not worth it for me to post, instead I put in a deposit at my local dealer that month now I have a production number for Vo at msrp, my SA knows more about the 1M than any of those guys there.
