2008 Z4 M Discounts?

[bobloblaw]

I was wondering if the 2008 Z4 M Coupes had any discounts or incentives. I know the prices probably aren't as low as the 07s, but I believe the new 07s are gone. I searched and couldn't find much.

There is a $3500 discount for 08s.

www.desimonebmw.com has one '07 M on their website...not sure whether it is up to date or not, and they are on the east cost (NJ) but thought I'd at least mention....

That's gone - someone on the forum bought it out from under Zgirl4U recently.

Getting my 08 for free

trading in my 07

gotta love BMW "Trade Assist"

[erdoran]

No, that was from Atlantic City I think. DeSimone is a different dealership. Worth a phone call to find out IMHO

[angrodri]

BMW in Melbourne, FL...Black and Red I think.

What is "trade assist?" How did you end up in an '08 for free?!

It's a nice way to say "lemon car". "BMW trade assist" will find out more info.

given our current economic state in the U.S. along with the poor sales history for the Z4 M coupe I'd imagine that you could still find an '07 new. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I can't imagine that a car like this is in terribly high demand at the current time.

I LOVE the coupe, but can't justify it for the weather we have here and the fact that I currently have an '05 525i.

I actually called a dealership, and he looked in the computer and told me there were no new 07s left in the country. I had a feeling he wasn't telling the truth, because I saw that someone picked one up not too long ago. Does anyone know of any 07s anywhere in California?

[erdoran]

go on autotrader.com and search for 07's, both new & used. I've seen where, dunno why, some of the new ones (judged as new by me because they have <100 miles) sometimes show up as used. Then just call the dealerships to see if they still have these cars.

Technically, there are no new 2007s left in the country, according to the dealer system.To quote Tony Shaloub, here's what happened. Late last year BMWNA offered dealers $7500 as a marketing incentive on the last 2007s. If the dealer didn't manage to sell the car, they can still get the $7500 from BMW by buying the car themselves and flagging it as a used car/demo. Everyone did this - you'd be nuts not to if you still had an unsold 2007 sitting - so in the dealer system there aren't any "new" 2007 cars left.

There are, in fact, 12 new 2007 M Coupes left in the US, new meaning they've never been registered. About half those appear to have 100 or so miles from test drives.

As a heads-up, there are only 20 new 2008 M Coupes left in the US. Someone on Bimmerfest recently tried to order a new car and was told he couldn't, all 2008 dealer allocations have been used. He's checking into it, but I suspect the Z4 M Coupes production run is over. For remaining inventory, WYSIWYG.

Yes! And there is a red on red.

Where in Orlando do you live?

06's still here

Do you happen to know if the production run on the M roadster is done also?

The cars come off the same line, so I'd think when one stops so will the other. The Bimmerfest poster I was talking about posted today that he was able to find a dealer in another state with a canceled order he could use. His car, apparently one of the last, will be ready in May - my guess is that there won't be any more new Z4s after that.

That makes a lot of sense- thanks for the explanation.

I wonder if the new Z will bring the higher demand that BMW is looking for.

I can answer that now. Nope.

Do you ahve the same info for 07 roadsters? Its hard to find them as they have all be retailed

[bobloblaw]

I was just offered about 4000 dollars off MSRP, which is $750 over invoice on a new 2008 M coupe. Good deal?

Is this included the $3500 allowance or not? If so, it's not a good deal. I was at the dealer last week and he's willing to do $7000 off MSRP including the allowance for a new 2008 M roadster.
