New member intro, GLC63 build
All,
I've been fortunate enough to drive BMWs (of varying styles and conditions...) over the past 15 years. In fact, I’ve never owned anything but BMWs. However, the time has come for something new. The GLC63 has intrigued me since its debut, and the updated styling and increased level of std equipment in the 2020 has sealed the deal for me. I’m looking to replace my 2017 M3 (comp pkg, 6MT) with a new GLC63 non-S SUV.
My build is below:
2020 GLC63 SUV
Mojave silver metallic
20” wheels w/ black accents
MB-Tex Dinamica interior in black
AMG night package
Lighting package
Driver assistance package
Parking assistance package
Rear air
Heated rear seats
Wireless charging
My goal is to get the above build for $80k out the door (incl 3% NC highway use tax and dealer fees). This would require a 6-7% discount from MSRP, but the best I’ve been offered is 3% and even then, it was as if they were doing me a favor.
Is 6-7% a reasonable ask on a new order? I’m not in a huge hurry, but would like to get the ball rolling sooner than later.
At any rate, looking forward to joining the community!

I was going for a 2019 model until I saw the reviews for 2020. I will probably go for a Brilliant Blue 2020 GLC 63 Coupe in Feb or March next year.
The things I would probably miss with "S" would be red calibers and AMG Dynamic Engine Mounts.
I think the ride comfort would be better with 20" wheels.
Hopefully, the jerkiness would be fixed in the 2020 AMG GLCs...

My dealer gave us 7% discount on the 2020 gle350 that we bought. Their initial discount was 4%.
Best they've offered so far on 2020 glc43 or glc63 is 3%, but I’ve yet to get serious about it. They might go lower if I commit to buying. I’m also budgeting 7% discount in my buying calculation.

Thanks for the feedback, folks. Ended up coming to an agreement with a local dealer today. I’m sure I could’ve gotten a deeper discount if I had waited until after the new year, but I’m comfortable with where we landed. Plus, they only required a $500 deposit to order, much less risky than the multiple thousands I’ve been quoted from others.
November build...now the waiting begins! Very excited, but now I also have to figure out what to do with the M3.

Got 4.5% after (minimal) negotiating. Funnily enough, this was at the same dealer that had laughed me out a few weeks ago, but the salesman that showed me the door is no longer working there...
Definitely understand I could've saved more elsewhere, but wasn't willing to put down $2-3k+ to order and then work out shipping or travel logistics once it arrives, eating into the discount.

Ended up modifying the build slightly:
Switch wheels to 21" silver multispoke and color to Selenite instead of Mojave. Love the warm tone of Mojave, but looks too beige/gold in certain lighting. But, I'm not completely sold on Selenite either! Pretty much between Selenite, Obsidian black, and Polar white (all very bold, exciting colors, I know).

Good call switching away from Mojave silver... I wasn’t gonna say anything to your original post because color choice is so subjective.
The glc63 looks best in selenite in my opinion.

Agreed on Selenite. I’ve only ever owned black cars, so a metallic gray is also a nice middle ground between what I’ve been used to and the brighter colors.

Quoting myself here, only because I cannot (firmly) decide on a color...who knew straying from black would make for such a difficult decision.

You hit the nail on the head - I'm really considering switching BACK to Mojave. This 2019 at MB Collierville has me feeling things:
2019 GLC63 Mojave w/ 21 black wheels
2019 GLC63 Mojave w/ 21 black wheels
