Will they be around in March?

[G77]

Will the z4M still be around in March? I'm planning on buying one. It's going to be my 2nd BMW! I want it in Imola just like my zhp. One dealer told me I had to wait till April If I ordered it and the other dealer told me 4 weeks. Makes no sense at all.

They're giving them away right now with $7-$9K discounts on inventory - don't wait, find the combination you want at a Dealer.

...One dealer told me I had to wait till April If I ordered it...

:lol: what a tool, maybe he was steering you towards buying a used one instead.

Don't think there will be a better time to buy, maybe equally as good in March, but who knows? If you want one now and have the means to get it, I would.

 

[G77]

That's the whole problem. I have to wait. I'm doing a ton of other things right now so the only time I'll be able to affoard it is in march. You guys think I would still be able to make one and have it come in ? or are they gonna be gone for good. 2007 is the last production year right?

..... 2007 is the last production year right?

Well, thats what I had heard earlier this year, since the S54 Engine does not mean the new EU Emission requirements. But apparently the requirements don't kick in till 2009. So there WILL be a 2008 Model, and I believe it is on the BMWUSA.com site. And from what I've read, they only added a new color to the lineup, Space Gray, I think.

They aren't going to disappear by March so I think you will be OK.

Even in March if you can't spec one new, there will be some in the dealer network or on the lots just waiting for a home.

 

[sp3ctre]

am I missing something... if they disappear then there will be a new model out, won't there? (or does it not work that way?)

 

[Wondermike]

Took nearly 3 years for the ///M to come out in current form, so if he misses the boat in March, he may have to wait a while for the next one.

The Imola reds are particularly good value and seem to get the deepest discounts. Now is an excellent time to buy but there should be some for sale in the Spring either via BMW or privately. I can't see why not.

Fiscal year 2008 is the last year for Z4 M's. The Spartanburg plant is also dismantling the Z4 production lines to make way for more X5s.

Actually, X6's...

 

[Gauss]

That's what I said

 

[G77]

Oh s**t. You guys think it would be possible to buy it in december and pick it up in april? I was thinking of doing that. At the end of the day I just really want to make mine just like I did with my zhp. I don't want a car off the lot and I for sure don't want a used one. I want imola with red int and aluminum trim. Hopefully everything works out or I'll have to try for the new m3 which i'm sure has a giant waiting list already.

 

[Gauss]

Fiscal 2008 has already started I believe.

Better get cracka-lackin.

[G77]
