Great Buying Experience
So I've been lurking the G29 Forum for some time watching the posts seeing what was going on in the Covid-19 marketplace regarding getting a decent deal on a new Z4. I have to admit I was worried that it was going to be an ordeal and that there would be delays in getting my order into production. After corresponding with a low-price internet dealer I was familiar with I also was worried that there would be no deals on Z4s for some time.
Regardless, on Sunday afternoon I sent a flurry of emails to many dealerships across the U.S. indicating I was ready to sign if I got a deal I was happy with. One dealer never responded, four dealerships said "we can't help you" and one dealership called me with an offer. With very little negotiation I got a price of $54,855 on a $60,085 MSRP 2021 Z4 sDrive30i. The price included a discount of $500 from BMW's Military Program (wife's a brat) but most of the discount was from the dealership. With such a good deal I had no hesitation signing on the dotted line. That was Sunday night. My order entered production today! Now, I can't say that there is another deal equal to what I got with this dealership, but I do know that the sales manager and sales advisor I worked with were very professional, capable and are generally known to offer good deals. If you would like to know who I worked with me, please message me through this site as I am more than happy to share names and contact info. Good dealerships and people should be rewarded for good work. It's a trip talking to various sales advisors. I had one that actually asked me what monthly payment I wanted rather than telling me the price on the car! Another dealership told me I wasn't in their geographic area even though I am taking delivery at the Performance Delivery Center. Any dealership can sell to anyone taking delivery there. So cool to go from email for quote to a VIN and production in five days. I know Z4s are fast but ... |

Sorry. How did you get your "Here's the final build" specs post on your "The final price. Thoughts?" thread? I can't find an automated way to list all that detail. I just posted the printout from the Configurator.

Congrats! I'm doing PCD on Monday for my sdrive30i with a very similar build. I got a very similar discount which made me very happy, especially since I had to order it. I didn't get active cruise but did get the 19" 799M wheels, remote start, and the extended shadowline package. I got Misano Blue on Magma Red. Can't wait for Monday!

I would be interested in hearing about your PCD. Will you get to do the driving course in a Z4? When I did it in 2008 I was taking delivery of a 335i and they were using 328is on the track. I was a little disappointed that I wouldn't be able to tear it up with the higher horsepower motor, but it was a complete blast even using the 328i version. I hope they've got some Z4s for us! Give us some pictures and a little review of your PCD when you get back if you don't mind. We don't have a separate forum for PCD here (as far as I can tell) so I guess you would need to post it under this forum. Have a great time! |

About right
A 10% discount on a Z4 convertible in the dead of winter on a unit thats not in inventory (no dealer carrying costs) seems about right. I got a similar price about a year ago on mine.

A 10% discount straight off MSRP is unheard of thanks to the Covid impact on production and pricing. Deals were totally different, and generous a year ago compared to now. BMW isn't even offering a Loyalty discount. |

That's what I thought too but almost every dealer I contacted had no interest in making a deal. Allocations in North America are scarce.

From what I've read the Performance Center delivery has been modified due to Covid. I think the only time when you share a car is on the hot lap. The skidpad session is done alone with instructions over the radio. Better safe than sorry. Enjoy your delivery! |
