Buy at a dealer who will negotiate? I'm buying our of state for this exactly reason since you can have the car delivered to your local dealer if you have a good relationship with them.

I checked in with Jamie at Peabody (sent him the link you shared) and he basically said - let's see what comes in Dec. This implies we could stack that benefit onto the $1K loyalty - or in lieu of it. |

Guys - I've been working with Max Manes at Passport BMW. He's currently offering 6% off plus whatever incentives are out there. Feel free to reach out to him directly @ max.manes@passportauto.com.

First time buyer in Houston. Getting really frustrated with the dealers here. A few are close to 6%, but their games are annoying.
Negotiating over email. I've asked for their best price BEFORE incentives and several have sent over a worksheet that includes them. Some are also stating that the APR credit is not lockable and other say it is. These dealers are why i have a hard time buying into this "relationship" non-sense. They are a commodity. I don't have relationships with people that are manipulative and purposely deceptive with me. If anyone in the SE Texas area has a CA or dealer that shoots straight, please PM me. |

Everyone but me probably already knew this: if you are LEASING you do not qualify for the APR credit. It’s just loyalty for the lease crowd.
I’m also dealing with Passport BMW and Max Manes. They have been 100% transparent and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended! |

I do believe it is a much better balance for a family car though. IMO the M40i was pretty harsh for daily use, especially if your SO will be driving it. Have not pushed the X5 hard yet so my opinion is still forming. More to come. |

Let me know if Scott takes care of you. Like I said in PM, he stated the deal was unique to me since I have bought so many cars from him, but you know how that goes...

Did you have the M suspension in your M40i? I do and yes it's very firm in sport to the tune of having half of my speakers start rattling. Those have been replaced but I'm sure it'll happen again. I'm looking at a week 51 build so I might have jt before next year if I'm lucky. Keep us updated!

Took it for a quick spin solo this evening. Don't expect the same driving experience as the X3. In full Sport mode there is plenty of power, but little to zero steering feel and absolutely no sound from the motor. I think if you want a similar experience you will have to wait for the X5 M50i release. This is still the right car for my wife, but the X3 is way more fun to drive. Will be interested to see what the M50i drives like...

I saw the December incentive is only $1000 for lease or finance as a loyalty I. e. not more $2000 credit
edit it's $1000 not $1500, that's for the X3

Where do you see the loyalty for the 2019 X5? I see $1500 and up for 2018's, but didn't see anything for the 19's.
