2019 M4CS Deal - Can someone recommend a good shipping company?

[trendy26]

So I posted my M4CS deal in the main CS thread, which I will post again below. Only issue I'm having is the shipping. I don't want to just hire any shipping company and was hoping someone on this forum would have one to recommend. Looking to ship the CS from Minnesota to Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Anyhow, my deal is as follows:

2019 San Marino Blue M4CS
$107K MSRP
24 month 10K mile per year lease
$1k out of pocket
$763/month tax included

Very tough deal to pass up, but I'm nervous as can be with the shipping since I've had a bad experience in the past with my 2011 E92 M3 being shipped and arriving with scratches.

Appreciate any recommendations!

Following since I have to ship my car soon from coast to coast

This may help https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...hipping&page=8

That’s a super slutty lease deal. Good job!

I live in MN and didn’t know such great deals are to be had. I just picked up a used 2018 M3 ZCP and my loan payments are higher after 15k down. I wanted a manual so I didn’t even try getting a CS.

Anyways. I can’t answer your shipping question. Just want to tell you congrats on a sweet deal and good luck with shipment.

Just drive the car. Done and Done

I almost pulled the trigger on an M3cs in Chicago and I live in NY. The plan was to fly one way and drive back.

Thanks man, appreciate the kind words. "I was surprised how aggressive they were with the pricing as well. I'm a manual transmission guy myself, but figure I'd tryout DCT for a couple years just to experience it. It helps that my other car is a manual, of which if I didn't have the 2nd car, I would never entertain the CS

That's 9% of his lease miles just getting the car to FL.

Lease isn't bad at all, especially since its not a stripper MSRP.

I personally wouldn't consider shipping, because the car itself may already have sustained damage at the lot.

Keep in mind a lot of the M4CS have been sitting at the lots for month.
I found out this the hard way hunting for a M4CS deal.
Went and visited multiple cars in person. The original SMB CS I was gonna purchase had two quarter-sized scrapes on the rear metal fender.

So honestly, better to be safe than sorry.

How much flagship money and/or total trunk monies are on the 2019 M4CS?

Intercity lines - I've used them three times and nothing but thrilled. This is the case where you get what you pay for, too. Note they do some car club and forum discounts so ask about it if you speak to them.

I would rather that then shipping damage

[NYG]

Never out of pocket on a lease imo.

There is ALWAYS out of pocket
you just don't want to put money into CAP reduction

Title/LIC/Reg/Doc fees etc.
unless you want that rolled into your CAP cost and pay interest
that's what the 1K$ looks like to me

That's exactly what it is. This isn't my first rodeo with leasing. Only out of pocket I'll ever consider on a lease is first payment and tag/registration...

My buddy is President of Run Buggy. Think of it like the Uber of car shipping. They also have white glove service for exotics. Drop him a line and tell him that Adam with the CS gave you his info.

That's pretty cool!

OP, if you go down this route, just make sure to understand what insurance coverage comes attached to this and whether it's got plenty of room to cover the truck, you car, and whatever else is being transported.

How hard did you have to negotiate for that deal? I see a decent amount of $104-$107k MSRP M4 CS cars for sale on AutoTrader so that's pretty tempting.

I mean it definitely took some work, but once I got in the $700's, I realized that if one dealer could do it, so to could others. Of course local dealers around me said there's no way a dealer will sell the car for $30k off with incentives. It helped that I really had nothing to lose. If I don't get the car in the $700's, so be it. Once the 24 month lease numbers made the car the same payment as the 36 month payment, it was kind of a no brainer from there.

I'll give you my lease sheet to shop around if you want. That helped with other dealers agreeing to the pricing
