Downside to buying a new 2019MY now
One of the dealers here in UAE currently has a number of VERY high spec 2019MY X5's and X7's which are being offered with large discounts supported by BMW (large by UAE standards ) most were built June '19
Aside of the obvious that they have been sitting around for so long is there anything to be mindful of that has changed from 2019 to 2020MY All of the options listed seem to be the same as what is available now. Spec Below ...... Would value any thoughts on any significant option changes Thanks Prod.

How big of a discount is it? My first thought is that the 2021 models will go into production in July or August so a 2019 will be a two year old model within about 6 months.

I guess you have to weigh up the financial aspects of the deal. I don't know the market over there, but there is always a price at which something becomes a bargain...
I don't think any hardware changes are planned for MY2021, so even if the car is an MY2019, the model will still be current. With s/w updates the way they are, even 'new' features like drive recorder and ASD can be retro-installed. |

I don't think changes would be so enormous that it would justify paying 25.000 more?? But that is up to you. You are getting a new car for a price that you would otherwise pay for a 1/2 y old second hand. Just make sure the car is ok. I don't know how bad it is for a car in your region not driving for a year. Good luck. |

'Gulf Version' 822 Ive been told that this shows it conforms to GCC (Regional) general specs required by the traffic authorities. Here there are many imported vehicles from around the world that do not comply to GCC spec , they are often a risk to buy as there are generally warranty issues and also you can only insure non GCC spec third party only |
