M4 price

[Vroomvroom]

The price of the M4 in SA is 114k Euros, in Europe it costs 74k Euros. The difference is 40k Euros or R700.000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is tax! WTF!
Why is our government so greedy??? Totally disgusting!

Thats preposterous!!!

Sadly this has been the case for as long as I can remember.

Welcome to South Africa, where we pay in full for services/amenities partially (or not at all) rendered.

For that reason alone I would not want to buy a new M4. Another reason is that the older ones have an almost similar performance... Imagine paying 1 Million extra on top of your trade-in for basically the same thing. Ridiculous. And your 1 Million goes straight in the back pocket of a corrupt politician. Then you pay extra insurance on that 1 Million that got stolen.

The government is on an aggressive drive to destroy the middle class...

Strangely enough it is not just SA that is experiencing this phenomenon.

Also need to remember Europe do not include motorplan/service plan in the selling price, it is a separate line item. If I am not mistaken dealers will need to start doing this locally as well.

Agreed. G82 is a biiig step up imo - drive one and see for yourself. Still don’t think it’s worth 911 money though

Probably better if he doesn't *see* the new one. I certainly wish I didn't.

💯 agree with you. They are VERY different cars! And they drive well enough that clearly people can get over the looks

The G8X lacks drama, the good kind. I agree its stupendously fast but that's just about it.

Whether that is seen as good or not, G & F are definitely not "basically the same thing"...

How are you only finding this out now?

I think you are correct.
I assumed that BMW SA and all other SA car companies need to disclose the price without maintenance plan.
Ford SA have already done this.

Thats not an F80

 

[Marco-Swanepoel]

Sorry G82

They are buoyed by the ever increasing price of a brand new one as with every other car in the world hence we have ancient 330ds and 320ds commanding huge prices.

This particular M4 has actually not lost much in value for the original owner. You might think it has considering a new one starts at 2.2 and most around 2.4 after some boxes, but this would 'only' have cost someone 1.9 or so. This is an 'averagely' specced car in a polarising colour as well which I guess contributes to its outlier pricing. Most of these are around 1.8M which I don't think many owners will be upset about

As they say, in a normal market, 'driving it off the floor' would have normally resulted in it being worth 1.7M (let alone mileage etc). It (like every other car it seems) is doing well by these metrics.
