My brand new 2016 AW/SO F80 M3

Hello M3Forum!

After months of researching on how to buy a F80 M3 and calling all the dealerships in SoCal. I narrowed it down to two BMW of Long Beach or BMW of Fresno (the only two honest dealerships closest or in SoCal).

BMW of Long Beach didn't have any allocations left once I was ready to order!!! If I went with them I would have had to wait till May and I would have to settle for the reduced residual and higher MF. They are the only place in SoCal that actually did the 64% lease residual and the .00135 money factor in April. All the others would mark up the money factor and just sorta not negotiate.

I found a dealership that was willing to locate me a car and also had the residual and money factor. They also offered me allocations throughout my deal for the M3. They allowed me to pick a car from another dealership right off cars.com and I only put my deposit once they confirmed they could get it.

One month later I have my car 1600 or so over invoice all in and they brought it to my place in SoCal free. Its hard to come by trustworthy car salesman but once I saw the car and their step by step buying process I was sold.

cars spec:
AW/SO, DCT and, 19's
MSRP: 69595
sale price: 66290 (3300 off MSRP)

On a side note this is my first brand new car after a slew of money pit used cars (2 to be exact).
Thank you to all those on this forum who helped and anybody who is interested in the same kind of deal just PM me.

A beauty! Patiently waiting for mine to arrive, I have the same build with the additions of adaptive and LED's. Only difference is I opted for the black 19's. Any mod plans?

Enjoy!

Thanks and especially thanks for the referral!! I preferred black 19's but this was the closest I could find.

265/35/19 (amg gt spec) and 295/35/19 (f10 M5 spec) Michelin super sport tires. That is as soon as the tires go down to 6/32 so I can use them for lease return. So I think in less than a year I will have them.

Maybe black grilles all around? I was also considering a wrap for the wheels but still on the fence.

Oh I didn't even notice it was you, ha! Glad he was able to help you out. I'm definitely doing the black grills. Sounds like a nice wheel set up too!
