M2 located at BMW of Berkeley!

I was just informed they have a M2 that just hit the showroom floor. $10K markup (clowns) but I'm sure someone will pay. I actually offered $5K over sticker ($53k) and they refused.

Everyone who goes to this dealer should call them out. I'm going Sat to look at the car and laugh at their faces when they say $10k mark-up. What fools!

Are you insinuating that $10K over is normal?

Interesting. BMW Seattle has an M2 in stock, but rather than using 'Market Adjustment' they've installed a bunch of extras like CF bits and wheel locks. Price is $63,645 (DCT + Exec Package). I guess their profit margins on these extra parts is equivalent enough to a 'market adjustment'?

Click here if folks are interested.

Correct. There is not a lot of profit in the vehicle and there also are no options packages available (ok one option) to dial the price up like how you can apparently build a 103k M3 sedan from a 63k start price ....

But i digress.

So yes, loading the car to the gills with M PERFORMANCE options is a way to add profit dollars to the sale. More than likely the M performance parts are at least 100% markup if not closer to 150%.

A set of $230 side grilles probably has a cost to the dealer of $75 so you can imagine the profit dollars in those $1200 -1400 CF pieces

Correctly said! I like this idea more then just seeing a $10k mark-up on the window.
