Totally agree. If I qualified the tax credit my i4 m50 would be gone despite appreciation of many of its benefits. Alas I need to wait until a few of your get sick of yours and go used to capture the tax credit benefits. I don’t generally like leasing.

Still too low.

I’ve never seen so much teeth nashing over .1 second. The car is amazing if it’s 10.9 but dog *sugar* if it’s 11.1? Lol. The car is seriously fast and seriously affordable either way. We live in a world where a $45,000 car does 11 seconds. Stop and appreciate that. 10.9 or 11.1. Who cares. 15...

This is ridiculous. All seasons are the best choice the majority of people. As I said offer a no cost AST option on the M3P and I’ll bet you $20 that that the take rate is 75 percent or higher. This forum is hardly representative of the average buyer.

It wasn’t above freezing and frequently isn’t in the northeast. And those summer rated tires have very clear warnings about low temps. The point isn’t really about the drive home; it’s about selling the car in mid winter with no tire alternative. I’ll be if offered an AST, 75 percent or more...

I took delivery of my m3p in January of 2021. It was 20 degrees. They shouldn’t be allowed to sell you a car with summer tires on it under those conditions. The Audi dealer in town makes you sign a waiver if you decline to change the tires out. Would offering an AST option be such a difficult...

Looks like a solid upgrade and zero to complain about. The suspension improvements have me most intrigued as that was the old P's biggest weakness. Congrats to those placing orders. I don’t qualify for tax credits so I’ll wait for these to hit the used market where the credit will be baked...

It won’t. It’s a niche car. The press will be all over it. Lots of YouTube’s and magazine articles but it won’t register as more than a blip otherwise. Probably best for us here that it stays under the radar anyway.

Originally you had to lease and buyout to get the $7500. Now they are doing a straight 5k rebate and you can stack incentives. In short you should be able to get 10 percent off msrp plus 5000 to 7500 in cash/lease incentives. 60 to 62k for a 75k msrp i4 m50 is very doable.

I cross shopped and ended up with an i4m50. With current discounts and incentives they are available for about 60k new. Yes is still higher than a m3 but for me I appreciate the improved suspension and traditional car like feel of the BMW. It looks and drives like a BMW and it’s still stupid...

Ed could Tesla do something like BMW with a short term overboost function? My i4 has a 10 second boost function that adds 60 hp. Just a thought.

I wasn’t the one making bold statements about zero to 60 times - you were. I was responding to you. Now after making those statements you are saying 0 to 60 doesn’t even matter? Talk about a bizarre series of posts. I’ll bet you $100 it doesn’t do it in 2.2 as you predict. If I’m wrong, I’ll...

Very bullish prediction but you know, the math matters.

Cars are not investments. If this about money, keep it. Cars are emotional for me. Time for something new. The new M3P is looking like it may be better than the current Model S LR. I’d probably wait and choose between as used SLR and a M3P Highland.
