Unfortunately, I'm new to this forum as well, so I'm not sure what would be the best way to connect.. Meanwhile, I'd probably consider cold calling all the dealerships that are near your area you'd feel comfortable picking the car from, as per hinckley's advice (that's how I ended up with my MRSP allocation). My dealer also offered to ship the car to from CA to WA, but I'm fine with the road trip. Last edited by seakraken; 05-21-2022 at 08:13 PM.. Reason: Added a note that could be helpful |

Here's a thought…
There are markets where the 8 just doesn't sell. Do a search on CarGurus and see who still has 2022's available…call them and see if they have any 2023 allocations.

Good to know. Mind sharing how much of a discount after your broker's fees?

Thanks for all the great advice! I also got very lucky and was able to find a local dealer willing to give me an allocation for an M8 Gran Coupe at MSRP. Delivery will be in the beginning of August. Only problem now is I'm stuck between Aventurin Red Metallic and Frozen Pure Grey Metallic (definitely a good problem to have ) All of the members on here were right, I just needed to pick up the phone and call around

Nice spec! I did a fire red with silverstone and was nervous at first but it turned out amazing.

I too was nervous with Silverstone as if I went with a 2020 M8 coupe it was my color of choice for interior and would have argued the wife off the ledge for Aventurin as Tanzanite Blue was not an option. However, having experienced Silverstone first hand after the fact as my dealer let me take a M8 coupe out for a drive with it as the interior while they did the cerium eradication program it's not too light to worry about. I still would pass on Ivory but there are many positive posts on the forum that it too can stand up against the normal wear.

Just ordered a M850 x drive convertible. They dropped the $4000.00 ADM because I am a customer. They said they stick to their guns on the 4k for out of town buyers. Didn’t realize what they meant until I read this thread. They are “hoping for October”. We shall see. Gives me time to sell my current one. Anyone looking for a really nice 2015 650i convertible with 22,000 miles?

I went through a broker. I'd never done it before, but it worked out well.

I just tried to go through a broker and they did absolutely jack shit for me except waste 2 weeks of my time and then say he couldn't get me a deal because I'm out of state. Like tell me that right away then….
