Azurite Black
Guys -
Today I ordered a G11, and I must admit it was a little bit of a default option. Considered the Quattroporte and thought it was a glorified Ghibli. Fit and finish wasn't where it needed to be - didn't have the same bespoke feel the previous generation had. Considered the s550 (looks like a more expensive car than the 7) - but was just too numb. Also couldn't get over the steering column shifter. Looked at the S8 but felt it was getting long in the tooth, and I wasn't sure I wanted to wait for the next generation D5. Panamera is a great car, but having owned a bunch of 911's I had a mental block about buying a Porsche sedan. While there's been a huge improvement in styling over the first generation, it's still a little awkward. Anyways: I ordered Azurite Black M Sport over cognac with the 20" inch rim and blue M performance brakes and alcantara headliner. Also ordered the black kidney grilles and the trunk lid spoiler. Think it should look sharp. I have seen Azurite on a bunch of other bmw's but haven't even been able to stumble on a pic of a g11 in the color. If anybody has a donor pic - would be much appreciated! Thx.

Azurite is a beautiful color. In sunlight there are hints of blue. I have Azurite/Cognac and get compliments all the time.

Guys,
I spec'd the car with the options I listed above and submitted an order after putting down a $1,000 deposit. I wanted to dig into the numbers today, so I called my dealer and asked him what my monthly would be. I know - put the cart before the horse. Anyways... I intend to pay up front for 36 mo's. The quote I got for $109k car, reduced to $107k with 12k miles a year was $1600 a month. That seems terrible, does it not? Only $2k in the 7? I've seen several posts here about people getting quotes of 1350-1400 for $110k MSRP cars. Can someone provide some guidance?

7500mi/yr./3yrs. 12,000/yr would have been somewhat higher but nowhere near 1600.

Did you buy a car your dealer had in stock? I understand how that might make a small difference. As for what I'm dealing with - where do you think a lease should be pricing? As I said, $2k discount doesn't seem like enough.

My car was ordered to spec, was not in stock. I ordered in September and took delivery at the end of November. This was from a dealer on Long Island. I can't tell you where you should be on the lease, but 750s are not selling like hotcakes and I am not the only one who got 10% or more off MSRP. There are lease calculator programs out there that can help you know where you should be. When I calculated what I thought my lease should be it very closely matched what my dealer offered. I am a repeat customer and well known, so they did not even ask for a deposit.
