How Much Did I Pay for My BMW M4? (Price, Payments, Insurance, Etc)

I sold my f30 during the pandemic to buy stocks haha. I bought a used 2010 Civic for 5k, and invested the other 16,000 into EXPI, TSLA, and ETSY. I’m finally about to sell, and that $16,000 is now almost $100,000 haha. Best decision of my life

Man, you are SPOT ON when you mentioned Autonation. In December I ended up visiting an Autonation owned dealership in the Chicago area and they made my hunt for a 2020 X4M absolutely miserable. I was ready to sign the papers and it was hurdle after hurdle and fabrication after fabrication. Thankfully I ended up browsing a few BMW forums that warned me that the deal they were giving was nothing special. I ended up getting the same discount on a 2021 X4MC instead from another dealership, and will never step foot in another Autonation dealership.

....when I purchased my brand new fully loaded (G30) BMW 540i xDrive M Sport, it took me over a month to negotiate the price of this vehicle.

[@rehan323]

Here's my issue - I'm an E9x M3 owner and as much as I adore this car, I simply can't get over the fact that it is aging. I've done enough to try and bring it up to my spec but at a certain point (and because I'm a numbers guy) the cost/benefit ratio creeps into my head. I am leaning more and more towards the f8x but would you recommend only 'LCI' or is pre ok. Also, 6MT only. I'm going to you because my wife says Toyota Corolla.

[@SimplyCarThings]

I think regardless the move up to the F8X is a major leap forward in terms of tech and quality. LCI’s have some nice upgrades, particularly the headlights and infotainment but aside from that it’s really all the same. You’ll enjoy it a lot these cars are amazing and extremely capable in so many aspects

[@nickmarsden8129]

I love all of your informative M4 vidoes man, I've been in the market myself for an M4 for awhile now haha. I'm too impatient to wait a couple years the S58 M2 Comp lol. Still don't know if I want to keep my 2017 F30 330i as a DD and get an older M4 (2015 or so) for the weekends or sell the 330i and go for a 2018 model like the gorgeous one you got! Weird question, do you use the kickdown pedal often? I know the forum guys say that's where most of the DCT crankhubs spun. But then again they said BMW changed the bedding in 2016+ models and it happens way less now. And even before then, it was an abysmally low failure rate like 0.5% or something who knows....

[@SimplyCarThings]

Funny, we have the same payment, put the same amount down, bought the same car in the same color, and both got them from Autonation, what are the odds of that😂 except mine was at House of imports which uses auto nation to. Very true what you say, they make it seem like there giving you this amazing deal and you get the car for few days and start finding all these little things. Nothing major but just stupid stuff like dried out tires or cracked seat emblems/center console trim. (All stuff that’s replaceable, just annoying)

[@91octane]

At the 6:30 mark where he's talking about California registration fees decreasing as the vehicle gets older, it used to be like that. However, California has not decreased registration fees in recent years. If your car is brand new, you don't have to smog it for the first five or six years. However, the state charges you, I believe $25 annually (smog abatement fee) for not having to smog your car for those first five or six years. California is a rip-off state!
