I agree with all of this but I contact the CA by email instead of in person. I tell them the build and give them the code off the BMW NA Build your Own site, and say I want to do a deal at XX% off MSRP (I did 6%) plus incentive and ask the CA if he is interested in doing a deal at that discount. I give him a couple of days to respond, saying I'd like to do business with him but if he cannot do it to let me know by close of business two days from now so I can keep shopping. If he says yes, I then ask for an email from him with all fees so there are no suprises. If acceptable, then I make an appointment to visit in person and do the paperwork. I've done this twice now and its worked perfectly both times. On my recently ordered X5, I thought 6% off MSRP plus 3k in incentives (plus another 1k from BMW CCA) was a good deal on a brand new model so thats what I asked for and they agreed. After reading the latest posts, I think I left 1% on the table. The 9.7% off MSRP that one poster claimed is not verified. Best of luck. |

Ask? Regardless of how much money you make asking never hurts. Dealers know people never expect MSRP unless it's a limited model or an inexperienced consumer. I think Porsche dealers have a bigger stigma than BMW or the other Germans, even then a discount can be had on just about everything sans the GT3/GT2 RS limited model.

Thank you so much for such a nice explanation. I am going to start off with 7.5% off MSRP and hopefully they will agree to at least 6%. I read somewhere that Kelley Blue Book gives you fair purchase price range along with MSRP and Invoice prices. |

Good luck with everything - I find once they know that you are smart did your homework and know where all the profit is and isn't they will be pretty straight with you (at least most of them in my experience). I don't approach them like the enemy, it is just a negotiation and the best thing to have in a negotiation is all the information - then it is a level playing field, nothing is hidden hopefully and it just comes down to how much profit you are willing to pay and they are willing to make - then it is simple. And if you have not read it - find my BMW car club post and join if you have not - that will get you another $1000 check you apply for after you buy (nothing to do with the actual deal). And look at the USAA stuff some others have done - that is another $500 potential discount.

How does the dealer to dealer delivery work? Is there a fee? Do both dealerships have to agree to it? Thanks

The key here is the car doesn't ever go to the purchasing dealer so there's no extra cost involved. Let me know if you have any questions. That is correct. Max indicated that was a very special deal based on the relationship between the buyer and dealer at the receiving end. |

4% discount certainly could be better - a lot of dealers are willing go to 6 - 7% off.

First, welcome. If you've not done it already, take the time to read through all th posts on this thread. Build the X5 you want on the BMWNA website and get th msrp. They will give you a code. Write down that code. Print the build on the summary page. Take that info to a dealer and tell them you want 6% off MSRP on that build PLUS whatever incentives are available. Right now I think its $2,000 in incentives if you finance through BMW and $1,000 loyalty (if you qualify). Also you can sign up for BMWCCA (Car Club of America) and get an additional $1,000 after you buy the car (not from the dealer) If the dealer says no, go to another dealer. I did it by email. I didn't actually go there in person until after they agreed to the price and they told me all the fees. As a result, I got 6% off MSRP plus $4,000 more ($3k from BMW and $1k from BMWCCA. You might go to a dealer and get to know a CA and get their card first. If you have a "relationship" already, they might me more willing to work with you. If they say yes to your offer, be ready to buy! Get MSRP, discounts, and fees negotiated and then make sure you get BMWs latest APR I think its 2.89%. I don't know about leases. Other posters have shared what they have done to get good discounts. Check them all out and pick the approach that works for you. By all means, don't pay MSRP. Best of luck! |

I tried that. The dealer in my area stated no one will give 6% off MSRP because there will be no profit margin (which I find hard to believe) Also, they were including the 2000$ rebate from BMW company in the discount. That 2000$ does not come from dealership from my understanding. Therefore, if I am understanding correctly, I should be asking 6% off MSRP + 2000$ rebate from BMW + 1000$ rebate from dealer for attending the X5 launch party? |

In larger markets like Texas, Florida, NE, etc. there is more competition and dealers are more willing to discount. To answer your specific questions: Yes, 6% off MSRP (not including $995 destination, PLUS $2,000 for financing with BMW is not impossible. The $2,000 is a rebate from BMW and does not come out of the dealer's pocket. I'm not sure about the launch party rebate. If that's "BMW money" then it doesn't come out of the dealer's pocket either. Also, don't forget you can apply for a $1,000 rebate from BMWCCA after your purchase. Again, doesn't come out of the dealer's pocket. Are you shopping in stock vehicles or looking to special order? |

-MF is at buy rate of 0.00182 -Acq fee (750) and doc fee (150) -4% discount is about as good as it gets here in Seattle as there are basically only 2 dealerships here in our market where Bimmers are a dime a dozen. |
