I called my CA yesterday and said scrap the 2015 idea and just put me on the list for a 16. She said she already did a while back just in case and I’m first on the list w/ 4 people behind me. She called me today and said the 2016 order banks for allocation opened today and she put my order in but wouldn’t hear back on a production # until at least July. She called me back a little while after that and said they maybe getting a 2015 allocation in the next few days. Don’t get me wrong I’m stoked but after reading all the upgrades the 2016 is getting I’m not sure what to do now. I guess if I can get the car before August maybe? It’s funny though… I called BMW customer service earlier today and bitched about their allocation issue’s on the M3… I’m at $180 over invoice with USAA incentive. ---

Maybe a trip to Germany next year will be a nice excuse to get ED pricing on one of these. ---

you leased a 2015 M3 in the $600s?

I don’t think NYS allows MSD So what’s the term and what would be your residual/ payoff at the end? If I get the allocation for a 15 I’ll probably do it. Only thing I would regret is the LED tails and the ambient center stack lighting… I know I know… but the pictures of the lighting on bimmerpost look sweet. I suppose both are interchangeable. I think the talk about all the standard features now is of course going to increase the price of the M3. I’m getting the Exe pkg anyways so no worries there. I’ll be bummed if they offer something other than the H&K sound but I don’t foresee that happening. > [@EvoMR](#): > > Maybe a trip to Germany next year will be a nice excuse to get ED pricing on one of these. I really wish I could’ve done this with the wife but with my kids I don’t think it would’ve been as enjoyable. Besides I’ve been able to get invoice/ or close to invoice pricing at a few dealerships so that kinda deters my decision. ---

> [@snowracer101](#): > > may I ask how much $ you put down? first months payment and doc fees i maxed out 7 msd though, which was close to $4,900 so in the end after i get msd back i will have only put less than $1000 down which included my first months payment (nothing towards cap cost) ---

That’s a pretty damn good deal. I’m jealous. that about sums it up, hence why i sold my s4 (which i loved) I will probably never get to have a new M3 for this low cost ever again in my life ---

I’ve never actually leased a car other than my wife’s that she’s still in. I’m putting about half down on the car so I’m roughly at $32k. So about 489/ month for 6 years. 5 years @1.9% or 6 years at 2.79%. ---
