Late bloomers arrived at local dealership

The frozen grey looks better than the photos.

Very nice!
At MSRP and not sold yet? Sure is surprising...

They have a client that is purchasing it. Just hadn't gotten back in town apparently.

That makes sense. The only ones left are above MSRP right now and even those will sell. I think the only reason anyone can get their hands on one right now is due to the fact they made another 50 for the US. I am thankful for that; otherwise I would not have gotten mine...
By this spring, they will be all gone.

exactly, the only reason you can even get one or at msrp is because they made more then originally said and dealerships got hit with them last minute

A local dealer was asking 5 below MSRP

The car is very specialty which has its pros and cons. One con is not many potential buyers

Funny that the same wing on the M3 gts or the 911 GT3 RS does not bring as many negative comments. I personally love the look of the M4 gts!
Functional wing, not for show, on all 3 of the above.

I think the wing does not look organic on the car and even the GT3 guys all comment about this quite negatively.

The GT3 and RS wing flows with the body lines of the car and on the GTS it looks like an afterthought.

"Even the GT3 guys"? Because they are usually so complimentary toward BMW? Half of the guys on RL live to take cheap shots at anything BMW. Go take a look at the BMW M4 GTS thread in the RL GT3 forum for a great example. So I'm sorry but their comments carry no weight at all with me. As for the RS wing, it looks like a work bench from someone's basement. I don't think it flows with the car any more than the M4 GTS wing.

In person, 3/4 view, whether front or back, is so cool. It's a beautiful car.

$5k below MSRP?

Damn, might be worth picking up a second one.

Any details? Still available?

$ 5 K below would be totally stupid. Real MSRP ones are selling right away, sometimes even before they reach the floor.
Easy to check recent threads...

Maybe he meant $5 below MSRP. it would be stupid for a dealer to sell it for 5k below.

I don't think this is totally out of the realm of possibility, I reached out to a couple of dealers asking if MSRP was possible, they keep messaging me back to just make them any offer. They have the car listed at MSRP currently. I just do not think the market for this car is great at this exact moment, seems like a buyers market. There are currently 88 M4 GTS listed on Cars .com. There were originally 300 cars slated for the US, and reading above we are saying they added 50 more last minute. So we are looking at 80~ / 350 cars available and listed for sale. There will be another limited M4 / M4 CS with similar specs coming soon with the LCI updates to boot? This might be an ideal window to pick one up, maybe the best window...

As stated in another thread. Dealers have a system that lists cars on sites like cars.com automatically as they get to the dealer even if its a customer sold unit. A few members did call around and was told the same.

Try calling. Most of those are sold.
I know. I tried before I found mine.
You can count real MSRP ones on the fingers of one hand. CS will be a different category. More like a slightly more powerful everyday driver's car with lots of M performance parts. Probably half way between the ZCP and the Gts. Not a limited number production track car.
