Now the 24's are 136800 so that helps in valuation if one likes to dream that M coupes hold value LOL.

One can always dream until reality steps in and smacks one in the face back into reality. 😜

Absolutely agree. Knew mine was going to be a depreciating shit show but went in with my eyes wide open, enjoy the F out of the car and never regretting the pay to play whatsoever. 👍

I'm not sure if I should try to negotiate that with with the dealer or just plan to sell them and buy what I want. Seems I'd only be able to get ~$2K for the 810M wheels and would have to spend ~$4-5K for either the 813M or 811M wheels. I'm not finding any cheaper options either new or used. Any further recommendations on the wheel dilemma would be much appreciated! Thanks!!

You can afford a 137k car but your Nickel and dimeing about the wheels. It’s a great deal. Buy the damn car before someone else does and pop for wheels you want. Geez!

[jhill]

Thanks for all the feedback! I finalized the deal and funding today. Flying out Friday morning to pick up the car and drive it home!

Fully agree. Was going to settle when I searched harder and finally find an M850 coupe exactly as I wanted (Carbon Black, Black rims, M package, shadow line, glass controls).

I am having a bit of M and horsepower envy, I will say. But the budget dictated a M850. M8 next time (kids will off of my dime by then ).

You will not be the tiniest bit disappointed.

It's Dravit Grey with Black/Sakhir Orange Alcantara, and has every option except for carbon ceramics. Sticker was $157. They're asking $128. Looking for some input on this, recommendations on what offer to make, etc. Thanks in advance!

I’ve purchased motorcycles this way in the past...there are people out there with too much money who simply don’t care about the money in situations like this; they just want what they want.

I’d jump all over this car considering you’ll be avoiding some depreciation, which is one of my few gripes about my car.

I ended up flying to Nashville and driving the car back to Dallas a couple weeks ago. You guys were right, I fell in love with the Dravit and the wheels. I just had it satin matte wrapped in PPF and have no regrets. Here's before and after. Gold metallic and color changes still show through PPF. Here's before and after. I'm loving the car and have no regrets!

[jargon]

Congrats, car looks great!
What price did you eventually negotiate?

Wow

That's a fine looking automobile.

Enjoy.

Beautiful car especially with that matte finish. Get some spacers on those wheels, you will not want any other BMW wheel after that (with this color combo)

Thanks! What size spacers would you recommend, front and/or back?

Awesome look. I have same color but not matte. I may ppf matte wrap also. I replaced my 813M rims with gold satin rims. Are you still interested in those rims? Text me at +17608223011 one way or other. Still can’t direct message yet.

Thanks. I've come to really like the wheels i got with the car, especially after the matte/satin wrap. 😉
