Inventory on cars.com
I just did a quick search on Cars.com and I was surprised by how much inventory there is. Looks like no mark ups either.
Odd compared to other new M3 roll outs.

Not at all. The same was true at the E90/E92 M3 and F80/F82 launch. In both cases I was able to find plenty of inventory (or allocations) to select from in the early days of production, and I was able to purchase at a discount.
Here's what we are definitely not going to do though: we definitely are not going to start a BS argument that the G8x is a failure because "Hey, look at all the unsold inventory out there." Sound good? Great. Have a good discussion and good day. |

As someone else says, a bunch of those will actually be sold, and a bunch of others will have a mark-up that cars.com isn't picking up

Don't buy into the hype. This is not a limited production vehicle. Despite the buzz on an enthusiast forum, demand is still fairly limited for an $80K 3 series. 6 months from now, this car is 10% off MSRP all day long + incentives.

My dealership is sold out on the G80 (both models) for 6 months and on the G82 (both models) for 4 months. High volume dealership, and basically the same situation as the F80 and F82. They have 11 deposits for AWD G80s and G82s combined. I asked. I was curious.

Out of the 10 in Socal, 8 are "Not Priced" or cars with generic placeholder pictures which indicate they are most likely incoming customer cars. Once entered into inventory they get automatically posted to cars.com (and other sites) by their DMS's integration. 2 of them have pictures which indicate they've been sitting for longer than a day. Both at South Bay BMW. As I impatiently wait for my AWD allocation I've inquired about a few RWD at my local (Sterling) and they're sold despite what the site says. |

Number 1 baby
I expect some will cancel and they will most likely get a decent amount of allocations, so maybe not as bad as it sounds.

Not trying to stir the pot. I was just surprised. I certainly didn't check if these were old or bogus listings.
I'm not in the market for a new M car yet, but I've owned 8 and it always seems to be a frenzy with first ones. People selling their spots in line and dealer mark ups etc. I'll definitely get a G80 when I'm ready. Seeing one in person, I think it looks great and makes the F80 look like a "classic" BMW. I'm enjoying my F80 zhp 6 speed.

Yep dealers get dangerously close to bait and switch-y with those cars.com type listings. They leave up a bunch of listings for reasonably priced cars that they may have just sold to get you in the door to order one. It may not be intentional I doubt they have someone frantically updating all those sites when they sell something lol but that seems like the way it works out

Wrong, maybe 4 or 5 % discount from dealer at most and only $500 to $1000 incentive from BMW, you can't compare an M car to the M340 which does have 8% plus $2500 incentive.

Lol regarding inventory. The car just arrived. By the end of the summer allocations will be plenty providing there is no chip shortage.

BMW does not hold back on building these cars. My last M4 was 11% off and my M5 was something around 16% ($125K list and $104K cap cost with incentives). There will be solid discounts at some point in 2021.
