I visited the dealer today to discuss the interest rate, and the CA pointed out that the ordering system did not let him build the car with 744 (the black rims), thus replacing it with 741. The price difference between 744 at $1,550 and 741 at $950 is $600. The CA did not want to adjust the price initially and blamed on a "3rd party pricing system." After a long discussion, the CA agreed to adjust the negotiated price to $72,288, resulting in a discount of about 10% pre-incentives.
Next, we had to redo the paperwork because of the $600 adjustment. He asked me to review the build of a new print out to confirm, and I discovered a discrepancy between the MSRPs: $79,545 vs. $80,395. The CA blamed on the "system" and tried to tell me some creative stories to brush me off. After a long discussion going back and forth, as I was going to cancel the order, he agreed to apply the 10% discount on the $79,545 MSRP, with the condition that I accept 3.99% from BMW FS and I will receive the $2,000 rebate plus $750 conquest. I accepted the deal and plan to pay down at least 50% of the loan after financial close. BMW FS could not adjust the rate to 3.44% that Bank of America had offered.
I'm really not sure why the MSRP numbers could be different over time. If the pricing could change, I believe there is a possibility that the order guide for 2020MY could eventually change at some point, meaning Tartufo could be available. Anyway, the conclusion is know your numbers.
Build: Same as above with 741 rims
Revised MSRP: $79,545
Final negotiated price: $71,439
Discount Pre-Incentives: $8,106 (or 10.19%)
FS Rebate + Conquest: $2,750
Expected BMWCCA Rebate: $1,000
My 2019MY will be the last batch of production before BMW switching to 2020MY. Mine is expected to be built in mid-July and tentative delivery is early August.
Hope this helps again.
