Wow, what a surprise. I'm on an extended road trip and I get an urgent call from my dealer. My car is 'code 112' whatever that is, and I need to specify my options. The car is being built in September for October delivery. I ordered Silverstone/Silverstone full leather w/ pretty much all options.

The one thing they are checking is whether I can get piano black through BMW Individual. If I can't I'll just go with the aluminum. They're also looking into just getting the trim pieces and installing them after delivery.

Wow - I'm still in shock.

I just got my allocation also for an October delivery. What options are you going with and what did your's top out at on price. The car's base price was $81,200.

Looks like it's coming in at just over $90k. I passed on the $1,900 for the multi-function seats. Still thinking about that one.

Let's talk...

I have a list price of $81,200, and I ordered all the options:

261 Rear-Airbags is $385
322-Comfort Access is $1,000
416- Power Rear Sunshades with Manual Side Window Shades is $575
4MA - M Multifunction Seatsd with Active Width Adjustment is $1,900

X2xx/X3xx - Full Leather Interior w/Alcantara Roofliner is $3,500

Gives a price of $91,780

Gas Guzzler Tax is $3,000
Destination is $695

For a total of $95,475. Not bad for the best car on the planet!!

I've asked to get Piano Black trim through Individual. If it's not available, I'll take the aluminum trim and either stick with it, or order the Piano Black trim separately and have it installed here.

My build week is 37, the third week of September, for a delivery 4 weeks later. I'm starting to get impatient already.

It looks like we're getting the identical configuration. I'm getting mine a week earlier so I'll tell you how much you'll like it.

I was lucky I was number one on my dealer list. Like Wolverine I was shocked to get the call. I was actually considering the 650ci which is coming in September also.

What do you think I should do with my 2001 M5 with 52,000 miles on it? Residule is $33k. Think I can sell it for more then that or just drop it off at BMW and wait for the new one.

I got my production # and mine is on system : :happybirt

You may be able to get a bit more if you sell it yourself. But realistically it'd be less than $5k and you need to consider the hassel. I'd give it back and wait for the new one.

Could you guys who already put in orders post what kind of markup the dealer charged you?

 

[Stallion M5]

$0 markup... it would be very silly to pay any markup when you are on the list. :nono:

Congratulations guys, you have excellent taste! Perhaps that is a bit subjective as my order is the same colour/trim combination Have about 35 more sleeps to go and counting down. Talk about boys and their toys, I feel like a kid waiting for Santa to come down the chimney. Enjoy!
