HerrK has the right of it. We Canucks get boned on our vehicle pricing compared to equivalent models in the States. With the CDN$ and the US$ at about par, my new car was sitting in the showroom with a price tag of between $83k and $84k. As soon as the calendar turned 2013, they immediately knocked $18k off the price and called it a "2012 clearance sale". I talked them down a few more bucks, got them to throw in the latest and greatest maps for the nav system (a $200 license fee) and walked away for just under $70k (taxes included).

Still a good deal if you can get the Z4 you want, off the lot, for that price.

Indeed, May 2012 manufacture date. Although it has certainly had a few test drives, I'm happy to call it new. When I took delivery, there were exactly 140 km (87 miles) on the odometer.

I will do my level best to get some decent photos into my "BMW Garage" on this site once spring hits and I can get the car out of mothballs. As for the 19" RFTs, I'm probably going to keep them. I'm quite used to driving a 335i with sport suspension and 19" RFTs, so the new ones should be about the same. HOWEVER... if too much wheel cracking crapola happens, I will have no choice but to consider a switch.
