New BMW Letter

Got a letter today from BMWNA saying they can lower my interest rate by me trading my M2 for a new M240ix.

Pretty funny since I never had a loan on my M2. They said I had 14 months left on my loan.

And who in their right mind would trade an F87 M2 for an M240ix?

They are desperate to take in used cars at this point.

Yes. I get constant offers like these and the value of my trade in has increased in the letters from my local dealership going from a laughable $28K to $35K in the most recent letter.

I took a different offer but it was for switching from my M2 to a M2C.

Shame even marketing doesn't understand the difference between M and M Performance.

If you got a letter from BMWNA (and not your dealer) saying you have a loan with them that you say you don't have, I'd damn sure be on the phone to BMW FS to find out why that information shows up anywhere. Do you have title in-hand?

That is the latest BMW posture: A model with an M in the name they are telling dealerships in training that it makes it an "M" car. Until you ask them if the M240i needs a 1200-mile service . . . They started intentionally blurring those lines in the past year.

They still seem to separate them on the "build-it" site, but that's not what they're telling dealers to say.

It's bad enough they have M, MC and MCS. At least those have S## engines, etc.

The rest is a dilution of the brand and disservice to the customer but hey what the heck do I know.

Yes I have title in hand and no lean holder has ever been on the title.
