Never saw myself liking a green shade on a car so much, but damn this looks stunning! Makes me want one this color from the pics alone. I bet it’s hard to even walk away from at night in person. Congrats on the purchase!

Congratulations! What a beautiful color combination from inside and out. And I must say that the wheels are absolutely PERFECT. They really pop against the green; supremely better choice compared to all black! Congrats again and have fun!!

Total price came out to 80k before tax and fees.

Well today i decided to go check out some M4's and M2's and look to see if i really wanted the M2 and if i could live with the looks of the M4. Sat in an M4, really liked the interior and how the seats felt. Salesperson asked if i wanted to test drive. We took it out and i really, really liked how it drove. This was just the normal M4 and man that was already quick.

Talking to the sales person, she also told me that since i specced the carbon buckets on the M2, that the build could take as long as 6 months for it to get here. I didnt want to wait that long. The M2 is not a dream car of mine at all, just a transitional car till the next one, so for me not worth the wait.

So then we sat in an M2 with standard seats to see if i would like them enough. And wow the price difference was immediately apparent. The M2 was significantly more uncomfortable. At that point i decided that the M4 was probably going to be the better car for me. We drove to another dealership that had some more selection as they didnt have much at the one we are at. As we were walking towards the cars, this one caught my eye. It was a green, but not Isle of [...]
There’s are great photos. Professional or your own? Camera type?

Def professional and these were added by a mod. I'm guessing the dealership got someone to take pictures of the car as promo. I wish i had these skills!

Damn Boston Green reminds me of the E36 M3s. Such a beautiful color, congrats! I think the deal you got is fantastic, if anything it signals that the market has tipped the other way (can you imagine getting 12% off MSRP during the pandemic?! Let alone on a M car)

Great looking color combo, wish you the best with the car for years to come. I really got to liking darker colors on this design, and it looks even better on the street.

As far as deal goes I got similar discount from autonation in California about a month ago.Also got 3 cars from them before and this time was shopping for preowned m2c but decided not to go for it, and M4 was their next offer. Seems like they need to move more units to get more new releases from BMW. In my head it covers for higher interest rates we have to pay on finance or lease. But hey you can refinance when fed cuts and take advantage of that discount even more.

Not my cup of tea color wise, but fantastic work on pricing. Thanks for sharing and showing what’s capable on a car in inventory.
