BMW M4 GTS Prequalified Customer Selection Process

BIMMERPOST NEWS
BMW M4 GTS Prequalified Customer Selection Process
322
COMMENTS

We can share that a certain percentage of the M4 GTS units being sold in the U.S. will be offered to 'prequalified' customers. Prequalified customers will be well known BMW M enthusiasts with a motorsports background (i.e. former or currently active racer) and owner of an M model (M3, M5) or competing model (AMG GT, 911 GT3, and the like).

Prequalified customers will receive a personalized voucher (see example below) beginning next week (February 15) which can be redeemed at any BMW dealership. Vouchers must be redeemed by April 1, 2016 and are nontransferable.

Dealers can then submit a production number for any customers who redeem their vouchers. The only option will be the paint choice (Frozen Dark Grey Metallic [this paint is limited], Mineral Grey Metallic, Black Sapphire Metallic or Alpine White). Special order BMW Individual paint will also not be available for the M4 GTS.

All cars will be equipped with a roll cage, fire extinguisher and rear seat delete.

No lease programs will be made available for the M4 GTS and the car is not available for European Delivery.

hold for a sec while I check my mailbox..

NO LEASE deals... sounds like BMW AG wants this to get into the hands of ENTHUSIASTS/COLLECTORS that will want to OWN the car... much like the way they have marketed the 1M.

you want a great deal... get an M3 or M4.
you want a special (dare I say... limited production?) car... BUY an M4 GTS...

Your dealer would have had to submit a nomination for potential customers back in December. The selections were supposed to be handmade by the CEO of BMW North America himself Mr Ludwig Willisch, or so we were told. We were also told is that 150 units go to the top 150 M brand volume dealers and the other 150 are selected on a case by case basis and no one was prequalified or automatically invited to purchase the car. They want to get them into the hands of "brand enhancement clients". We assumed that means those who intend to keep the car instead of flipping it for a potential profit.
I have a good friend/client that was selected so that is exciting for all of us at our dealership. I can't wait to see the voucher in person.

I'm not sure if I understand the logic here. So if you are an enthusiast, you should only buy? Why not lease? What's the difference for an enthusiast? I bought my M4 (financed it) but I almost leased it, I didn't know I was making such a profound statement.

Help me understand this. You are going on a 1 week Euro tour with BMW Canada with your new GTS and you are jealous of a voucher?
