2009 M3s on BMW.de Konfigurator! MSRP included!

Big Windy · 08-06-2008, 03:08 PM

The konfigurator on bmw.de was just updated (bimmerfile gave me the hint because they showed the new chestnut interior on the facelifted e90). Both the e90 and e92 2009 M3s are featured (didn't check the e93). It is obvious on the e90 because of the new tails, but both selections feature Le Mans blue (and SG for the sedan). I haven't given it a thorough run through, but wanted to post so that you guys can play.

Also VERY important...look at the prices. The 2008 M3 coupe was 66.600 euros, the 2009 is listed at 67.150. Same goes for the sedan: formerly 64.750 and now 65.200.

this is a direct link which might not work:
http://www.bmw.de/de/de/general/conf...figurator.html

otherwise go to bmw.de and click on "konfigurator" and then click "direktauswahl" and then choose the M3.

So that's like 500 euros or about $1000 difference but that might not directly translate to price in the US. If it is only $1000, that's no big deal.

if u build the idrive in the e92, it is still the old system: )

yeah...i was wary of posting that part because I am not 100 percent sure on the 2008 numbers. but i remember the autobild video quoting it at 66600 euros in 2008 so i did a google.de search and that was what i got. anyway, i don't know what bmw.de listed the MSRP as before, so i can't be absolutely sure. maybe southlight can help out there.

don't convert the euros to dollars to figure out how much it will be in the US. that never works...it isn't a direct conversion.

southlight · 08-06-2008, 03:18 PM

Yep, that's where my pics came from yesterday.

Best regards, south

i thought so..but i was too dumb to put two and two together. can you confirm the MSRP stuff? I wasn't 100% sure. too bad the interior pics don't show the new i-drive...they do for the facelifted e90.

wow, just realized that. i did it on the e92 first and just figured that none of them were updated. but then i just did the e90 m3 sedan and it is updated. that will be totally bogus. we already saw the press release and the pics, so we know that the e92 M3 is getting the new i-drive. obviously this konfigurator isn't fully updated (not the first time BMW has done that!)

TLud · 08-06-2008, 03:22 PM

With a straight currency conversion, that's an increase of 550 Euros or US$850. Given that the M3 is much more expensive in Europe than it is here in the US, it probably won't be as much. On a relative percentage basis, that 550 Euro increase equates to less than 1% (~0.826%). Applying that same percentage to US pricing ($56,500 for the base '08 E92 M3), that would equate to a price increase of only ~$470 on the base US models.

Can anyone tell whether the option packages/destination charges have gone up in price as well?

Unfortunately yes, the MSRP on all cars has been increased (average by 0,9 % in Germany).

i was hoping to figure that out too, but because i am not familiar with the 2008 prices, i can't give that answer. again, i point to southlight to help us out. all this shit is way more expensive in EUR than it is in dollars, so there is no way of comparing or figuring out any other increases without seeing last year's prices.

Even if it's a 0.8 - 0.9% increase across the board, the price increase here in the US would still be less than $1k on a well-optioned E92.

yep. right now i am pissed that the e92 interior doesn't have the i-drive on the konfigurator.

Grab a hamburger and relax, man. If the iDrive is updated (as I still think it will be), you won't see any '09 owners giving you grief about buying an '08. It's one thing to be pissed at BMW for possibly introducing a new feature less than a year after the new model's introduction, but there's no need to get personal with forum members who decided to wait based on that possibility.

you're right on that one!!

BMW M GmbH will be introducing some changes for the year 2009. All 2009 ///M cars will feature the new iDrive system.
http://www.bimmerfile.com/2008/07/29...bmw-m-updates/

we know from the M3's US launch that the configurator isn't always 100 percent accurate. i think that these real pics are better confirmation that the 09 coupe is getting the new i-drive!

Yes some options have been changed too. For example metallic paint went up € 20, sunroof € 120.

Do you want to know all changes/increases? I reckon some are not relevant to US (like alarm system).

Best regards, south

gadget · 08-06-2008, 03:45 PM

Agree that the configurator is often inaccurate.

By know I think most of us can agree that the 09 e92 will have the new i-drive. And even if it didn't get the new i-drive, there are still a lot of good reasons why the wait was worth it. (i.e. getting an updated DCT that won't stall the car in the middle of the road)

i don't think it is about agree/disagree at this point. we already saw the press photos which clearly show the le mans blue e92 m3 with fox red interior which has the new i-drive. bmw just annoys me for not being able to do things right!

I agree with you. To me this is already a know fact. However, there are still some out there who still think otherwise. I'd give them a

but i've come to realize that its just a waste of time.

Credit goes to south for this, but it is interesting that many Germany options increased in price for MY09. I know that the european market is totally different, but I think that this is a good indicator that the US will see some increases. I think that ZTP and ZPP will be going up. But this is just my prediction. BMW will probably increase 2MT and a few other high demand standalones.
