Dealers with M4 for test drive in Miami?
Does anyone of you know any dealers in Miami that have an M4 for test drive? I am in Miami until Friday and I would really like to test drive one. Or is there any member from Miami or Miami Beach that is willing to take me for a ride? I don't want to drive another member's car, if I can't drive one by myself, at least to be in one on the road. Thank you.

BMW of Ft Lauderdale on US 1 has an M4... Im not sure if they will let you drive it. I think Vista BMW Pompano has one too.
Go on BMW's website and pull up the dealers in SOFLA and then check their inventory. That should give you an idea of who has what. |

I was today at Braman BMW, I was curios if they were putting any mark-ups to what they have on stock, they said no, that they want to sell cars, when I asked about the MF it was .0029...I said that the factory is .0013 the stealer said they are in the business to make money, ok, make money from someone else, there was a client there just staring because probably they did not expect this...
Braman had more on their website, but only one in stock so probably if I just check the website I won't see who what has in stock...if anyone is interested in seeing a Sakhir Orange, that is what Braman had there, a Sakhir Orange M4.

Braman is honestly the worst dealer in South Florida. they try to rip off everyone. im surprised they said they dont mark up the MSRP because i was down there 3 weeks ago and they had a 25k "market adjustment" on their M cars.
I just ordered from BMW of Pembroke Pines a little over a week ago. I got an M3 and an X4 for the spouse and were originally going to lease the X4 so when we start doing numbers i asked him what MF he was using. He said "we only use the BMW rate and dont mark up". I was very surprised by that.. he showed me his screen and sure enough it was .013. If you go by there ask for Les Cutler. Hes a real straight up dude. |

He said that they work on the mark up to keep the clients happy and that they are at the MSRP price but bluffing just like he was doing with the MF. I have really lost my appetite of even putting my ass in the car when I heard all of that bullshit...

I actually had the complete opposite experience at Braman. I live in Orlando and have tried every bmw dealer in my area to buy an M3. Unfortunately they are all owned by fields automotive. I was trading in a 13 c63 and every bmw dealer within 150 miles of me wanted to give me 5-7k under kbb trade in. Fields also wanted full msrp. I talked to Braman on the phone and email to get a trade in value on my car and drove 4 hrs down there with my first intentions trading on a 13 M5. When I saw the m5 I had already been leaning away and more in the direction of the m3. They took my car for appraisal and I figured they were going to change their mind. Nope, they came back and gave me exactly what they said. I offered them 1000 off ED msrp and they said ok immediately. So my drive to miami , 4 hrs, saved me about $6500. ED , picking up in Oct. Evrybody was very friendly, drove me to the airport to get my rental car, couldn't of been better. Well I should of offered them more off but from people I've talked to , south florida isn't great for deals.

Good and Bad experiences are as much about the CA as the Dealer. I have had both good and bad experiences at Braman as well as other SFL BMW dealerships. I just walked from an order at Coggin BMW that was coming off the ship as I type this, and reordered the same car yesterday from Braman because I had a history with the sales manager and he was very helpful where Coggin failed.

I got back home to Texas without test driving anything, my wife was so pissed off because of the Braman experience and did not want to go to some other dealerships with me so I was not in the mood to go alone.

She also wants an X4 for her, I want an M4 for me... I will see when I will go to pull the trigger for both of them, right now I am looking at a Range Rover Evoque instead of the X4...

To hell with Braman. I walked in inquiring about the M3 or M4, and was told they didnt have any. As I am driving out, wtf do I see? An MW M4 just sitting there. This isnt the first time they do this. I always give them a chance and always end up buying from someone else.

Braman bmw are the worst dealer in the world. I drive 2 hours to my old local dealership in Naples (germain bmw, great people), just to avoid the uneducated and rude staff at Braman.
Took my car for a regular service there last year, for the first and last time, I was 300 miles over my service due so decided to bring it in, about a week later my car went into limp mode and the service light came back on (happened to be in Naples at the time this occured), and my SA at Germain, Naples told me that my car was now near to 600 miles over my service due limit, because Braman never actually performed my service. All they did was give it a shitty wash up and turned off my service engine light - no oil change, no brake pad change, nothing.. |
