Roll Call for AZ

Damn that’s clean!

Biimmer · 02-24-2023, 03:53 PM

Any meet ups in the east valley? Would love to get together with some other M's!

DocOfTheDead · 02-26-2023, 10:53 AM

Slightly off topic, but… have y’all been non-BMW car shopping in the Phoenix area lately? Holy hell. We went to Land Rover Arrowhead- minimum markup was $30,000, higher end models were $100,000. Right Toyota has $20,000 markups on a Corolla GR and on Tundras. I listened to their manager try to shame this poor couple who said they needed a new vehicle for the wife into paying $7500 over ON A BASE MODEL CAMRY. “Welll, *grumble grumble* supply chain *grumble grumble* demand *grumble grumble* hot commodity *grumble grumble* you can’t do better in this market.” Peoria GMC has $8k markups on base model trucks. I feel exceptionally lucky having had such a great experience with my M4.

Wow....that's wild.

I have not but I've always felt like the dealers in the west valley are usually more expensive some reason than dealers in the east valley?

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered

Interest rates are most likely going up tomorrow. Inventory will continue to rise. Dealers like that are just trying to grab as much money as they can, while they can. Sickening.

Hello all… there is some interest in another drive from peeps here. I know 3/25 is far away, but it is better than waiting another 6 month as we did from the last drive back in July 2022… Here some details:

- Saturday 3/25 7:30am meet at Sprouts farmers market 5455 E High St St, Phoenix, AZ 85054
- 8:00am drive to Payson… about 1:30… may be stop on the way for some pictures.
- Breakfast around 10:00am
- Around 12:00pm drive to Roosevelt Dam… about an hour drive

Breakfast options in Payson:
- For a very American experience and watching local planes taking off-Crosswinds.
- For a little classy and healthier option- Duza’s kitchen

So far the following people are in:
Tyga11
Corms85
Chicagofan00
PhxF80
Devils41
ellisina4 (wife and kids will also join)

Once we get approximate head count, I will try to make a reservation…

I'm in if you guys will allow a lowly M8 to join ya.

They let me in with my M5, so no reason to refuse M8 😆

I’m not an Arizona resident, but just wanted to shout out chicagofan00, and the other twilight purple owners in AZ who’s posts made me go with this color. I went through Arrowhead Bmw, but live up in Salt Lake (don’t worry, there won’t be another purple g80 on your streets&#128514

. Took delivery last night!

My son’s soccer season has started and he has games on Saturdays, so I won’t be able to make it to this one.

Tyga11 · 03-12-2023, 01:45 PM

Can't wait! I'm putting fresh tires on my car a week from Monday in preparation!
