Of course $8k is in the brakes alone, plus $5k for paint. It is an $80k M3 with a fancy color and expensive binders

I wonder how much this will be in Canada, my car was 94K without CCB's and Connected Drive

+1

I purposely kept my order at $61k (euro delivery) to stay as far away as possible from the 991, C7 Z06, Viper price point of ~$90k

You might be a little young to know this but there was a car manufacturer (BMW) who did this (for a different reason), sold the car, was sued when the original owner found, then took said manufacturer (BMW) to court for the accelerated depreciation of the vehicle.

I cannot recall if the owner was successful in court though.

Yep... Easy!

Come to Australia and you can spec out a base-model, no option M4 for $180k

It is violet blue. Dealer at BMW SF texted me these pics 2 wks ago. Only a fool would actually pay $93k which in SF there is no shortage. Dealer knows that

[swagon]

bmwarchiv.de says it has a special paint code #490 which when you click it on is Frozen Black Metallic.

They had a 20,000 markup when I saw the mineral grey m3 there about 6 months ago. I can only imagine what they are charging for this one. lol

I've noticed SF BMW prices high. Must be the market up there. When I was purchasing my 335 I came across a few there, if I recall correctly there were up there in price. I won't be shopping them for my M3

[Jockey]

Looks good but no way I would pay that price for it

[michaelw9]

I don't know if it was the same car as the Miami one, but they had this identical color and build at the SF auto show on display a few weeks ago. It was loaded with swirlsmarks and interior marks from a million people playing with it. Hopefully it's not the same car.

Did this car ever sell? The Cars.com ad is still active...

Gorgeous just gorgeous

Lol welcome to CDN sticker prices. Most of our M3's/4's average these numbers and triple digits isn't a challenge if you tick off all the boxes. This car at that price would be about $115 CDN after exchange. Ouch.

Yep. My Basically loaded M3 (no CCB's) with Individual paint (Tanz) is just over 90k MSRP CAN$ .. You guys have it lucky!

Damn now I just want to stop by to look at it in person!

Please do and if you do, can you let us know how this compares to LSB? I'm really curious as the shade only seems a tad darker than LSB.

[MatthewDavid]

The car is still there. They've actually got at least three M3/4 with CCBs. I tried to negotiate a deal on one of them a couple months ago, but they wouldn't budge on sticker or buy rate. Looks like their unwillingness to budge on price isn't working. I cannot imagine what their flooring cost must be by now; these cars have been on the lot for many months. There's always some clown that'll buy the car at sticker or even their $10k markup. They tried to tell me no one was getting a better deal than me at sticker, even after I told them several dealers had offered me better terms, which was true at the time. My experience with the salespeople weren't great, but the sales manager was a nice guy and we agreed he should sell the car to someone willing to pay full price. I have a tough time going into this dealership given my interactions with sales and that when my friend ordered a car there the techs drove it for over 100 miles before delivery (yup, true story) and still the service manager was a dick about it. My service money goes elsewhere.

Why are you just throwing cars out there, any of those cars built to equal standards with individual paint and ceramic brakes, etc. will equally take those cars to another price level.
In my situation it would absolutely be retarded to cross shop an M3 with a Cayman GT4 a nearly pure bred track toy and a GTR with it's ludicrous maintenance cost or a Z06....all two seaters. If you want a track machine an M3/M4 isn't the best choice and why the hell would anyone spec out a track car, do you need comfort access or lane departure warning on a track car.....you'd get the base model and prep it your way for track duty.

I sure as hell don't think "GT4" when I'm driving across a few states to go visit family on a road trip, but I sure could do that in an M4.
I just don't get why on earth people constantly loose all common sense when this same build keeps coming up, "individual paint and CCBs" automatically mark the car up $14k, you are not going to get past that, period. Then you add all the basic everyday normal ad ons for this car and you will hit that mark easily.
It is the price of wanting to have an "individual/unique" color. We could argue about BMW pricing on this paint, yes, sure but then get a Honda Accord if that's your price.

My YMB stickered at $81k and had everything I wanted except aftermarket wheels, the yellow reflectors body color and an exhaust. Everything in the inside is CF, the grill and emblems are black....these are all things I see at least a dozen threads on here where someone is buying these after the fact and adding it on. That has a price and possibly installation. So add on the aftermarket price of those items and installation or your personal time installing and then......but these cars come like that, no searching for parts, installation, etc...

Someone buying a car like this has all that done factory.....now if the issue is an official dealer markup beyond the factory built car, then ok. But stop bitching about the price of a car that is individually built.
