The 2023 should be here within a month and is the literally the exact same car I customized except has live cockpit pro.

With the MY24 base price $1k more than the MY23, you really only paid $1,200 markup.

Well done. Enjoy.

$2200 not really a big deal, I wouldn't sweat it. Def worth the extra few months of fun with the car and I would have done the same.

Enjoy!

So I cannot say every Ferman Dealership does not attempt to markup vehicles however Ferman BMW in Palm Harbor FL did not markup or add BS fees on my 2023 M2. I purchased my M2 on 9/27 at MSRP. Same story in 2022, picked up an X3 from Ferman BMW without an ADM.

I would have walked away if they tried to add an ADM, stopped going to the Dealership for service needs and most likely quit the brand all-together.

Right but even when you can afford that, timing is still essential. Just because you’re able to afford a $70k car doesn’t mean you have another car sitting in the wings until the perfect moment.

If we’re talking Porsche, Bentley, etc then your point is valid imo. But a lot of regular people own BMWs
