Test drove 2020 S30i, questions about buying a Z4

mjposner · 02-17-2023, 07:27 AM

Going to test drive an M40i today...If it is as expected, I will likely purchase the Z4.

I think you will be sold once you get behind the wheel and step on the gas pedal. Put the car in Sport Plus mode to really enjoy the experience.

Is it a CPO at a nearby dealer? If yes, please provide a link to the listing.

Test drive convinced me, I bought this Z4:

I had to drive across the state of Florida to buy, was worth it, fun drive back as well.

Congrats, you will have a blast driving it!!!

I believe they had this M40i listed at $59,499, what did you land up paying?

mjposner · 02-18-2023, 10:44 AM

$51,000 even. Also, CPO with warranty till June 2025.

In my opinion you have a great deal!

A really good price.

The M40i engine.

Low mileage.

A warranty for the next 2 years.

A fabulous color.

Please make sure to post some pictures when you have a chance.

The used car manager at BMW of Ft. Myers needs to have a reality check for listing the 30i that mjposner originally looked at for $53,999!

Was wondering about this today on another car - $10k over MSRP as new but with 10k miles. Maybe they’re peacocking or don’t want to sell it for some reason

somewhere in the world an idiot gets up every morning - you just have to find him

My car was sitting on the lot awhile, that's why it was priced that way. The Fort Myers BMW is new to them....expect it to drop to below $50k when it doesn't sell.
