dude had it wrapped so it looked "frozen" in person. I can't imagine how much that cost.

No kidding, between this place and the 350Z.com site, my bank account has definitely been diminished.

Congrats ! Beautiful car

Is it common for bmw dealers to have an essentially 2 year old new car sitting in their lot? When I bought my 2004 mazdaspeed miata new they were giving them away in 2005, because it was the last nb and consumers were waiting for the new Nc

However the 6 is so new. It's not like people waiting a replacement . I see a bright red gran coupe on my commute . Rebadged rear

Just surprised this was sitting

Congrats again enjoy in good health

I asked why it was sitting around and apparently someone didn't take delivery of it after ordering it, so it just sat in the showroom. I wouldn't know if that is common but looking at BMW's CPO site daily for the last 2 months I didn't see any other cars in the same position as this one. The closest I got was one for ~$77K with 6K miles on it.

Chief,

Sounds like you made a good choice going with the 50 vs. 40. Best of luck with her

Congratulations Chief! Best looking BMW in a decade at least for me.
The lines are so sleek and even better you got a smoking deal on a 2014.

Enjoy her in the best of health. Tint those windows.
