What ended up happening? That thread is 31 pages! Did the guy get his car for 60K?

31 pages and no flaming. Nobody is calling each other names.

Yep, when you get a message board [i:2b7heud0]that[/i:2b7heud0] big, with [i:2b7heud0]that[/i:2b7heud0] many members, there's too many faces in the crowd to [i:2b7heud0]really[/i:2b7heud0] figure out which ones are certified douche bags, so everybody just stays nice.

Around here, it doesn't take long before you notice a pattern of certain stupid people, always saying stupid stuff!

Good question Joe...I'm still sorting through it. I had hoped someone took the time to read it all. Haha.

Either way...those new M3's are invoiced to the dealer st around $64K. But due to demand for the new style they're getting over a $100K. So the dealership lost potential money because some dumb ass didn't do a reserve. From what I understand they're gonna honor it...but I'm sure they'll try and include some hidden fees.

It's a contract, don't know that the dealership has much of a leg to stand on.

I think the new beamers look ugly. I hate the new front end.

Yep. The coupes, M3s, and hardtop convertibles look great from the rear. The beak needs work on all of them.[/quote:2rw9645u]

Not unlike some of the 30 second board girls this year.

Speaking of that, did you guys see the 30-sec board girl for either the heat races or LCQ of the Minn. Lites? They showed a shot of her...and DANG!!!...her butt was hanging out of her shorts/dress/whatever it was she was wearing. It was so blatant that it got my wife mad at me for it!

Looks like he got it, with conditions, which he will find out tomorrow. Page 32 of the fray!


Sorry its taken so long to post a update. The site is very slow (understandably). This morning, BMW of Lincoln has agreed to sell me the car at a price of 60K, with certain conditions. I'll be going over the conditions with the dealership tommorow, and I hope to have everything finalized by tommorow afternoon.

But one thing that I would like to make everyone aware of is, BMW of Lincoln is proactively working to correct the situation that they screwed up. And yes, they screwed up big time, no doubt about that.They are trying to do right, so please don't harass the dealership right now. No phone calls, threats, emails or fake sales calls.

That said, I would just like to take a step back for a moment.
The past few days have been insane. Just thinking about what has transpired, leaves you speechless really. How did this thing go from a M3post.com rant to what it became today? In 3 days, the site amassed
650+ comments and 200,000 page views, with people posting from all around the world, lending their support and help. Thats people I dont even know! Amazing stuff, and probably the coolest thing I have ever
been part of, leveraging the internet in a way that I have never seen before. People I have never met, making calls on my behalf, contacting automotive sites, supplying information, just doing anything and everything possible to help out.

Lets do it again sometime, I hope to be there for someone when they are in need.

Thanks guys, there are good people in this world after all.
I'll post again tommorow.

Regards

Ken

Good deal. The internet is a nice form of checks and balances...and free porn...and illegal prescription drugs...and Al Gore is the man who brought this to us!!!

Sounds like a cool story, and a neat new form of leverage.
