Trying to rip-off

Got this "special opportunity" early upgrade email from a dealership. What an effing rip-off.

You would be so disappointed making that switch. Beyond 60mph the 550 vs M5 are two different animals!

Heck not switching from M to a non M. This was an unsolicited email from the sales guys who I have never worked with (but have serviced my car there).

I was aghast on how blatantly they are trying to rip off by asking for 1250+ on a 78k car. This dealership is great for service but I have never bought any car from there - when I was shopping for M5 I called them. They were willing to knock "$500" of sticker price and laughed when I asked for invoice+ pricing. Effing idiots.

It's a standard email I get the same from BMW I sold my M5 two years ago, and still receive. My old sales guy doesn't even work for them anymore.

I hear so many folks talking about how the new 550ix is going to spank the current M5 which is totally false. I wish someone would finally just post a M vs non-M video to end the ridiculous chatter

For a 78k BMW (M4) I'm paying $8xx with 1500 drive off

Also for a 120k BMW (M6) I was paying $12xx with 3000 drive off

Just for record

LMAO I received the same post card. I'm paying less for a $118k MSRP M5.

You guys JUST.DON'T.GET.IT. He will save $360 in fuel costs. Pays for 1/4 of the first month right there. I think it's a steal...

Everyone who buys a M5 is concerned about gas mileage, and the new 550 is leaps and bounds better in that domain, so it's a real no brainer.

You have to factor in how much faster a 550 will depreciate (on a percentage basis) compared to a M5 as well to really see how sweet the deal is. Also, one word: All Wheel Drive.

Please forward this opportunity to me if you're not going to pursue it. I would love to take advantage and act now.

LOL. These guys emailed me again saying they haven't heard from me and it's a very limited offer so I must call today.

Usually I would laugh at things like this but this just makes me really bad. I am a hard negotiator and usually walk away with a deal that is better than what most folks get so it's tough for me to believe stories of dealership rip-off's when I read them. But after seeing a flyer like this, I can see how some idiots can be easily tricked if they don't know their math.

With all of the information available today anyone who walks into a dealership unprepared is a fool. Still many walk in clueless and dealers will benefit from their lack of knowledge.

Seriously though BMW should not let sales reps send emails like this blindly. Know your audience, someone that purchased a M5 isn't going to be interested in a 550 xDrive to save $360 in fuel in a year...? Like wtf.

They'll not drop their pants for anyone IMO. The educated consumer will fare much better than the most but the house always wins (or makes less).

I got a call from this dealership asking if I'm interested in this limited time offer. Too bad I couldn't pick and it up. Caller didn't leave his name. Wish I could pick up the phone and have fun with this.
