You don’t like the styling, so you went with mint green. Are you being sarcastic?

The tanzanite blue and black that I’ve had look great imo. I prefer the darker colors on this platform including greys.

Rates are still 5.29% right?

Being quoted 6.29% and they are being stubborn. Asked them to run my credit again and show me what comes out of BMWFS algorithm.

They are many money on the rate. If you have good credit, check with your bank. You can also go online and check what rates are available. I found bank rate dot com helpful.

BMWUSA pulled the finance rates off their site, which is unfortunate. I would push for discounts and use your own financing. BofA has 5.99 with preferred at 5.49. I’m sure credit unions are slightly lower. Or you could buy American or Japanese/Korean and go even lower.

Isle of Man Green is perfect on these cars.

It's still 5.29 to 60 and 5.79 to 72.

I saw an M4 the other day in IOMG and thought it looked fantastic.

Go to the BYO, choose the car, tap summary, estimate payment, it’ll open a new page, put in your ZIP, and it’ll show you the available options.

Must be based on zip code. Here it’s showing me 6.29%

Go to the Braman BMW incentive site. It’s always current.

Ha, nope. I think the light/bright colors suit the off the wall styling better. If you're going for it...might as well go all in.

I can respect that approach. There was an individual rosso corsa M3 at my dealer, and it was tempting me even though red is not my color.

I have a 21 M4 Comp and I'm thinking about trading it in.

My dealer has a 24 M3 allocation. They are offering me approx $2,700 in positive equity on my trade in and they are saying they will rebate the M3 for $500.

My current interest rate is only .99% and I'm wondering if rates will go down in the next few months when I take delivery.

I'm also wondering if I should wait until the 25 LCI.

They said they will guarantee the positive equity so I can keep my car until I get the new one...what would you all do? If I put $5000 down on the new one my payment goes up by around $150....

Your current rate is .99 😳 how did you manage to pull that off! The likely hood of rates going down beyond a could of basis points is highly unlikely. Fed isn’t showing any signs of it. In addition most lenders aren’t keen on reducing rates on specialty vehicles.

That's what the rate was a few years ago...thanks for your reply.

The Fed is holding steady, the rates won’t be going down anytime soon. Personally, I’d wait for the LCI, see what happens with the rates, and go from there. I have a ‘22 G82 and I’m waiting another year before I order a new one.

BMWFS rates were low until December of 2021, then started to creep up in January of 2022. I had .99% locked in, but my car got stuck in QC for 4.5 months and my dealer refused to honor it if/when the car showed up. So I moved on and found my current car in March of ‘22 already stateside and made a deal, and by then the rates had moved to 2.49%, and continued upwards from there.
