Are dealers trying to get you to pull ahead into G20 M340i?
I’m getting like a letter a month from different BMW dealers trying to get me to pull ahead into an M340i. Anyone else getting these, not even comparing apples to apples...

I've had three different dealers send me e-mails/letters telling me that they've "analyzed" my 2016 M4 and can get me into a 2020 M4 with "nearly" the same monthly payment. No one's tried to downsell me into a 340i.

Nearly the same monthly payment but I bet some $$$ down. They seem to think people can't divide up front by number of months

Must be that they are not moving the G20 and they think there is value in the F80 M3 still

I also got the pull ahead call on my stripper F80 M3 6MT.
Took them up on their offer and got into a Lime Rock M4CS for $50 cheaper a month. Negotiation level.....wizard LOL

I tried to get into an M2 Comp, obviously impossible given the residuals, like $300 more a month, what a joke.

My sales person called me 9 months before my lease ending and asked if I was over miles and if I had any "questions" about it. Not sure what he was getting at but he hasn't tried to sell me anything yet.

In the latest letter from my local dealer, the embedded offer to purchase my M3 was a pretty good price. Def have no interest in a 340i but would absolutely consider an X3M. Too bad the residuals and incentives on those are horrible right now.

I keep getting the same letters/emails on the "upgrade" to a 2020 M340i from a dealer I didn't even buy my car from, only serviced it there.
I get that they are trying to sell cars but the "upgrade" thing is pretty ridiculous. I have been meaning to call to ask them to stop until they offer me an actual upgrade, lol, but realized it wasn't worth my time. Last edited by Pic18; 11-24-2019 at 06:33 AM.. |

They used to try to hard to upsell me on a new M3, then M4, now M340i. Same cookie-cutter pitch, different model names and $$ #s. At least they haven't tried cold-calling me about it yet. a

BMW is faring better than the other manufacturers though. Esp seeing they aren't being too generous with incentives for this time of year.
