How do you all find a broker to work with?

Yep, that's what I used. Goto their forum, then Marketplace and filter for your region and BMW

Hi All,
First post here but finally looking to move to an X5 from my '14 X3 35i M sport.
There are a few 45e models within my radius and I'm debating whether to try to move on one now or at the end of '21. I would consider cash or financing depending on how the numbers worked out.

MSRP for one in stock is around 77k with nearly the exact options I would build. A few questions:
(1) I have an initial goal of trying to get to around 70 or 71 pre-incentives. is this feasible? The "e-price" provided was 72.9 when I emailed for more info.
(2) For financing my understanding is there is a 2500 APR credit and x5 is eligible for 0.9%? Military and loyalty are stackable with this, correct (I understand military is 500 rather than 3250 when financing)?
(3) Is there a cash purchase incentive on the X5 right now? if so is that stackable with military?

Thank you! Hoping to join the X5 group here soon

A month ago, I got $70K on MSRP of $76,895 from a dealer in NJ which was matched by a dealer in NY. This is for a custom 45e build. So it’s feasible. The challenge you will have is that you are getting one from the stock, so you are at dealer’s mercy as far as pricing is concerned. You may want to shop around for a custom build and then take that discount to the dealer and see if he matches it for the in stock vehicle. Hope you get it.

I'm dealing with this myself right now - trying to order a 45e custom build ($75,750 total). Am in Chicago, and the best offer so far from someone with allocation is around an 8% discount ($6000 off, including the financing rebate). A few dealers without allocation slots have come in stronger, but that seems risky. Have a few more calls to make, but so far have been unable to get anyone to do anything close to the 10% + incentives.

Dealer is in west suburb.

Milano -- I'm in the market for something very similar (almost the same MSRP even) -- which dealer did you go to?

How do you guys go about these conversations with the dealers? Do you just throw out a price you dont expect to get (Eg "I want to pay <price>" and price is some unrealistic number like 15% off)? Or do you just plainly say, "look, I'll sign today at 10% off"? I realize every dealer is different, but I'm curious.

In my case, I emailed them my build link and asked for numbers based on the following terms:

36 months / 10,000 mile lease
Multiple Security Deposit (MSD): 7
Residential zip code: #####
Existing BMW in household? No

I then collate all the ones who provided actual responses into an Excel sheet to determine the best deal. For those who request to speak on the phone, I politely respond saying email communication is preferable for the time being and if they don't agree, then they'll get ignored---I rather not get follow-up calls if I don't pursue business with them.

It helps to stick to your guns and focus only on the sales price. They will try to run you in circles about factory rebates, finance rates, etc.

Normally once I have the "online price", I make sure to have at least one and ideally two other offers to give me a ballpark. I then go back to the one I want and use the other two offers to try to get them to the number I want. Sometimes I might embellish how good the other offer is a little if I think it will help me negotiate.

My finding is as long as you are direct, have a competitive offer from someone else, and are negotiating aggressively-but-realistically it's a win for both you and the dealer. The dealer doesn't mind not making top dollar on every single sale if you are efficient about it. Your sale counts just as much in their volume numbers and they know if you're happy then you will be back.

So California has historically been an incredibly aggressive car market, but on my latest hunt for an X5 deal, the absolute best discount off MSRP was 8.5%, and that was a huge stretch for most dealers.

The fact that some of you are seeing 10% off MSRP on the East Coast is pretty incredible...

[fndrplayer13]

Just put in an order for a '21 45e today at 7.6% off MSRP before incentives, just shy of 10% with incentives.

I imagine its so hard to find a deal in California on the 45e's is because of the HOV lane access.

Does anyone know if you can find out when your car will be delivered or where it's at when "In Transit" status?

Your dealer should have that info. MyBMW order tracking doesn't have the details as to carrier or transit time.

Can anybody tell me what types of discounts you are seeing in Texas (Dallas) off MSRP for a 40i?

Willing to buy or lease, whatever is better.

Also, does BMW allow you to lease a demo?

Yes you can lease a demo below 5000 miles I believe is the maximum mileage

Agreed, I went into my search thinking 10% off was doable in the Bay Area, but turns out expectations were way off.

Perhaps others have had more luck, but most wouldn't do better than 5% (if they even responded). I eventually was able to get 7.6% before incentives.

Go to my Garage and you can add your vehicle in there. Given current conditions that is actually fair quick in getting the VIN. In most instances the dealer provides the production number and not the VIN and the owner finds the VIN when tracking the vehicle production.

Thanks TB on my way to the garage again....... IdaHome
