That is stunning. The black Enkeis look perfect on Grecian Water.

^^ I agree - I am quite the fan of the darker Enkei wheels

Love the dark Enkeis.

Possibly. It was reported some dealers may have used it to justify their markups. Request access and Fred will probably give it to you if you’re not weird. 😉 j/k

Frank fixed the access issue.

Doing some testing on my end and accidentally changed the access. It's back up!

Could it help our future brethren if the spreadsheet was updated to include a column for price paid … above MSRP, at MSRP, or below MSRP. Maybe limited to forum members who we all know have bought one?

Or maybe just a ClubLexus poll. These dealer shenanigans have had their day.

That data wouldn't be very helpful just because of how much the market has changed. In early 2022, people were FIGHTING to get these cars for MSRP. In 2023, I've seen many offered below MSRP. It would vary month to month almost.

Another factor to consider, what went for MSRP in 2022, does not seem to match 2023. Lord knows how much more or less it will be in 2024.

Dealers and auto listing websites conveniently forgot that 2022s new were all 62-63k instead of 90% of the 2023 models all specced with BBS wheels at 66.5-67k. They'll also be quick to mention the "base" MSRP of 57k, you know for the 10 bases they've probably made this year 🤣

LOL! I shouldn’t be surprised there were such a small number of base models, but I am. It’s odd for some reason.

Just crossed 622 miles this morning and let her rip to redline in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Jeezus does the power come on at 4,000 RPM. Especially in 3rd gear, how quickly you get to triple digit speeds and in COMFORT, my god. Smooth as butter V8. Makes my m3 inline-6 feel raucous.
