In Reply to: E46 M3 Update for Bay Area Buyers(more) posted by Dan on February 12, 2000 at 19:21:40:
That is so sad. The three BMW dealers here in Houston are not charging a dime over MSRP. I have asked all three of them. Each one of them is only taking $500 for a deposit and selling them for the MSRP price. They said they don't markup, and that is not the image that BMW is trying to portray. One dealer even told me that an individual was willing to shell out 30K extra for the M5. He was not sold the M5. The person that was next on the waiting list was the sold the M5 for MSRP.
: Alright got some price information for bay area buyers looking to buy from either Stevens Creek or Allison. Basically, the base MSRP is $45K, fully loaded for $50K or so. There will not be custom made cars for the first year, so you have to buy fully loaded. HOWEVER, that's not the kicker. Because of all the ridiculous wealth in the bay area, the 15 M3s they're getting will be sold auction style. Yup, so unless you can pony up more cash than the CEOs and VPs around here, forget about it for the first year. They sold M5s at $50,000 over MSRP, so I wouldn't be surprised that the M3s go for $20,000 to $30,000 over. So if you want a M3 for MSRP, ship one in from Ohio or Kansas or someplace. I'll just wait until 2001.
