I think someone else in another thread mentioned hearing something along the same lines from their dealership too.

I'm also from Austin, and the local dealer expects 4-5 months to delivery. BMW of san antonio says 8-9 weeks but $2500 downpay rather than deposit.

All of them are selling with MSRP, I'm still trying to find out with other dealers.

When I was searching prices/allocations for my 45e, an out-of-state dealer quoted a $5,000 surcharge due to my residence. I assume that's to account for the lost service revenue.

So my i4 m50 order is thru BMW of SA. I live in Austin. I emailed my rep Sunday he hasn’t gotten back with me.

I find it odd that BMW SA charges a 1% “fee” to pay the sales person. It’s their commissions, I have never paid that before but some dealers out here charging over list I was okay paying 700ish to the sales person.

Nonetheless I would place my x5 45e with BMW SA if my sales person answered his email.

CA just texted back after he confirmed with his sales manager. He said they have to stick with their market for certain vehicles, and that includes the 45e.

I can connect you with a broker in TX who knows the BMW market well. There may be some TX tax credits for electric vehicles but he can explain that part way better. Not sure if the 45e qualifies.
