BMW Canada announces limited M3/M4 Individual Launch Spec models and European Tour

[Trued]

Interesting interior color from GM, Opel White, someone is apparently not familiar with cars or colors at BMW Canada. :-)

Can I get my Canadian girl friend to order this for me? Then get it shipped to the U.S.? LOL

Nevertheless the U.S. Group was absolutely not on their own as we received a LOT of support from BMWNA, BIMMERPOST, RSR Racing, and Owners of the Resorts and Castle where we stayed and had exclusive use of facilities. Our experience was designed to be a M drivers dream trip with karussell, @soccerdad, and myself leading the events and all logistics. Sure we had nice accommodations and private dinner events but we were to drive the $&@!out of our cars and our group represented the first ever global Welt launch Deliveries for the F8x and had the run of the facility for the day to hang out. We received all access passes to M festival and Driver paddocks for 24hr race, private events and instruction at Spa and Nurburgring, helicopter rides, drift/autocross instruction, museum tours, Alpine / autobahn group Driving tours, and all while meeting and getting instruction with some of the best racers in the world. We got all this while getting to spec cars exactly how we wanted and for at least $20,000 less or more for price of car and trip combined. We negotiated a steal of a deal for all the incredible stuff we did thanks to Karussell connections. It sure does seem unfair that Canada has to pay so much more for cars than US though.

I will say that BMW Canada did make the planning much easier owning the agenda and we had to work much harder to make it happen for sure! However ask anybody who went on this trip and I doubt anybody can say there was ever a better group ED experience since BMW began this program. We are going to do this again in 2016 for M2 and are planning other trips this year to also include Porsche featuring the new GT4 Cayman. If all this sounds good Inbox me if you are interested in learning more and get on the list!!

well said. didn't want this to turn into a competition though. just wanted our photo not to be tied to the canadian tour pure and simple. You guys had an awesome trip last year and no doubt this summer will be awesome too. BMW NA and BMW Canada no doubt went above and beyond for both programs. And I would like to stress our group was not US only. it was truly international! We are organizing another euro tour/delivery this summer. Porsche is primarily represented this time around. Next summer is BMW again likely with the M2 as prime car but just like last year any and all enthusiasts are welcome to join us. we have a distinct motorsport flare in our trips but also want to have something for the entire family to enjoy as well.

I can't speak for the savings you have on your trip. They seem pretty good but also seems you pay quite a bit more for the cars especially if you are locked into paying msrp. I can say our trip was definitely a great value. Having SPA Francorchamps to yourself for a day was alone worth it.

I was just quoting MSRP:
$5510 for MPE + $1660 for 4 CF tips or $1260 for 4 Ti tips

I paid $5750 for my MPE with Ti tips and installation included at my dealer.

The same goes for the entire car and options, one can always negotiate below MSRP

Ahhh Nice! I'll try and talk them down! Thanks!

[VCP]

We had the opportunity to chat with one of your group as we were dropping our car off at the Airport in Munich. You guys certainly took full advantage of the time in Europe! At the end of the day, when you are picking up a brand new M at the Welt and then getting to tour Europe, whether on tour or making your own way, it is a remarkable experience! Looking forward to the M2 tour from you all

Worth $35g extra? Delusional.

Actually worth quite more.

There are well over $40k in options and M-Performance parts on those cars, plus you get the trip.

See my post here.

Us delusional, or you in Denial ?

Wait - so you weren't consulted when they created this offering? ZOMG! It's pretty well known that you're the final judge of "worth" for all humans. duh.

I think we've all learned an important lesson today.

This is a very exciting thread and an exciting opportunity for a lucky bunch of enthusiasts so please troll elsewhere. Perhaps start a new thread extolling the virtues of the E9x that you'd like. In the E9x forums. Thanks!!

[schnell325]

Regardless of price / cost / msrp, this is a rare treat to be able to endeavor on.

Where's the PDFs???

I'd be curious to know how many of these are sold from Vancouver BMW. The vehicles I see there on a regular/daily basis, I'd say only Dubai (from places I've been) had a higher quantity of supercar sightings per minute (is that a stat? lol).
*Though I have yet to venture to Zurich, Monaco, or London for any length of time.

Based on my time in Zurich, Monaco, London and Dubai, Dubai puts the rest to shame. Even when the races were on in Monaco.

M4 with all the options (without the performance parts) is $103K. Given these cars are loaded and have all the PP, this is a great deal. The trip is practically free.

Where are you getting those prices? The diffuser is only $950, and you can get most of those parts for much less if you try.

That is Canadian special offer, so those are all Canadian MSRP prices in Canadian dollars. I did this to do an apples to apples comparison of those "Individual" M4s at an $111k CAD MSRP.

$111k CAD = $88k USD

Also, as posted previously, it is always possible to negotiate below MSRP .

Personally I prefer a 'stripper' spec sheet, but wow, what a bunch of beautiful cars and a fantastic trip!!! I'm ready to move to Vancouver...

I am with you. I was also offered the original European tour as I was one of the first with a deposit for an F8X in Canada. But the original offer forced us to order a loaded car, which I did not want.

The deal is even better this time around for those who want a loaded car because you are getting more car for the money and the trip on top of that.
