2023 BMW R18B and 2023 BMW R18C
Any help would be appreciated. Want To Buy: 2023 R18 Classic Mineral With Option 719

I have a R18B and want this bike to match. I was going back and forth with a dealer in NC for this bike and someone put money down on it this morning. I am in PA, but willing to travel for the right deal. New or Low Mileage used works for me. I would like Reverse and Hill Start if possible.

Thank you for any help.
 
Tried to cut a deal with BMW in Cleveland for their 2023 R18C and they want $18,500 out the door with BMW financing at 8.55%.

I bought my R18B 6 months ago for less money OTD and received 1.9% financing from BMW.

Why is BMW letting dealers sit on these 2 year old units without help? Uggh, I really want that bike.

The dealer is probably hedging his bets if he believe you really want the bike. Act like you don’t give a flying f*ck to see what happens 😉

I got one! Just got home and going through the menus. Found out it does NOT have hill assist or the alarm system even though they assured me that they were on the bike.

Anyone know if you can add these and how would you do it?

The bike is dirty from the snowy trip on my trailer. I'll clean it tomorrow.

For BMW to say 8.55% your credit score must be very low. Because the highest BMW posted interest has been 4.9%. You won't find a lower rate than BMW seeing they own there on Bank. Yeah. Its sucks when you are in the talking stage and someone comes in and puts money down on the one you want. But that's how it is. Dealers just can't hold a bike while you think about it. If you really wanted it you should of put money down.

You can buy the alarm unit and add it yourself. You need a Hexcode GS911 to do it. I’ve done it on another BMW.
 
Changed the title of the thread. I am now looking for a Transcontinental. Went to Motorcycle of Dulles last weekend and they would not budge on price, so I walked.

I am seeing new TCs online for as low as $15,000. I just have to have the 23 in Mineral White. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked with Kissell Motorsports, as others suggested. They probably won't have it in inventory but then, their inventory and their distribution network is huge. Can't hurt to ask them.
