Any 1LE Automatic owners?

seeking reviews, on and off track. I would love to take the plunge and get one in auto but there is a killer deal on a 2019 manual for $57,711

I got both. They are really different cars. The manual will do the business.

My ZLE A10 is supposed to start its build this week, but I checked today and still no VIN.

I say take that deal. That's an unbelievable price. Is it new or used? How many miles?

Holy mother...id like to grow up to be you my friend! But id love to add some American track muscle to my stable. How quick is the shifting? Been on track with it? overheating/Limp mode/Codes?
I have a Club sport E92 M3 that I built and currently building an e36 with S54 swapped. Building for NASA GTS4.

Thank you guys for reaching out and should of mentioned earlier ...that $57k 1LE is brand new. They have another Automatic in white for $63,15. This dealership offers a 10 year 150k mile Limited power train warranty. Not too shabby.

Reason why im leaning for automatic..i love the automatic start function. I have it in my Silverado...its great to warm the car up while indoors. Also...I live in the city and tons of traffic and manual at that point is not conducive to my health (lame joke). 3rdly....this type of car and power I feel would shine on track with the paddle shifting. Im almost done building a full race car that's manual so...no need for another really.

Thanks! I only have 500 miles. No WOT roll run tests yet. I really haven’t been on the highway yet. I do like that if you hold the left paddle towards you while braking the car keeps downshifting without having to keep shifting. Pull and hold. That’s cool.

My real test will be that 70 mph roll test. That’s what killed the gen V A6 ZL1 for me. That tranny sucked.

Aaahhh…. now that's kind of a cool feature with the left paddle! I had no idea. Very cool. Keep me and the rest of posted mate!

I would be asking what's wrong with it for $57K...I assume it is just a base ZL1 + 1LE package, no PDR, etc?

nothing wrong with it...I just tried searching on the Online Window sticker..couldn't seem to locate the PDR option. I'll call tomorrow and get the scoop. Went to see a 1LE at the local stealership today. They are asking $72K which I will never pay. Emailed the salesman if they honor price matches otherwise I wont mind a 100mile drive to save over $10k

Definitely check and see if they are advertising a price with every incentive under the sun, too. I almost got caught up in this when folks were advertising them for $62K only to find out you had to own a Mustang, be a teacher, active military, work for GM, etc. After all those incentives disappeared suddenly the car was basically at the market rate everyone else who wasn't shady was advertising.

In short, if they will sell you that car for $57K, and it's clean, buy it, that's an insane deal on a 19 1LE.

I completely agree with the insanely low price for a 1LE (Buy-It). I fought with 7 dealerships in the Tri-State for 3 months (in the dead of winter) to get the best deal I could find on a new allocation manual transmission plain ZL1. The only option I ordered was a carbon hood insert & M6, agreed price was $61,500, my dealership said I qualify for 2K off in rebates and I made them put it on a Bill Of Sale. The final agreed price is 59,500 before tax & tags.

It's awesome to see another BMW guy on this forum, your garage sounds sick! I actually sold my M2 to buy this ZL1, still waiting for delivery. It's currently on the rails heading to Twin Oaks, PA. Keep us posted with pic's if you pull the trigger. On another note, I"d love to see pics of the S54 build I still poke around Bimmerpost, do share.
