First step is finding an allocation. That alone is a challenge but not impossible. Then find one at MSRP. Doable but more challenging. Getting a true discount off MSRP is extremely rare right now.

my dealer just informed me they received an allocation to order but we haven't discussed price yet... I was going to try to get them to honor the military discount which i think is -3250, but I'm not sure if it will qualify since the build would start in January and I wouldn't take delivery until February??

The military discount should be from penfed and also available through BMW. Most dealers should honor it (I know some folks have said they got push back). Obviously they can decide to not honor it. I would simply ask for the price sheet with all the costs on it and then if they do not have it, ask them to add the discount into it.
My dealer added the discount in without me asking and gave me MSRP without any issues (even with a waiting line for their allocations). |

Amended Ev credit seems like it was pulled out of the Bipartisan Infra Bill which was signed into law a few weeks ago.
Think amended EV tax credit was put into the Build Back Better bill which passed in the House but still needs to pass the Senate (via reconciliation), then signed into law by the president. Could be weeks / months before that happens which means current $7500 credit should still apply. |

Which is best dealer? I dont mind waiting 2-4 months. I just want the best price. Preferably around NY, i dont mind driving couple hours etc.
Anyone have any leads to get 6-8% off msrp and be able to use penfed as well thanks |

My dealer has no problem honoring the military discount (I’d.me code) along with drive for hunger $500. I didn’t ask for anything off MSRP. Going to be happy with my 3,700 and equity from current leased car…

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/ev-tax-credit-biden-bill-senate/ Note the key stipulations in the new proposed bill… plug in hybrid gas tanks cant exceed 2.5 gallons. Unclear whether you would still get the $4k base credit if gas tank exceeds 2.5g. Also max income is reduced to $250k to qualify for the full credit. Wish I could take delivery this year! |

Looks like for most, a BMW X5e would go from 7500 this year to 4000 (if it still qualifies with gas tank higher than 2.5g) |

Separately, senate is only in session till Dec 10th so presumably if they can't agree on finer details by then, they would pick up in Jan which means bill may not pass until feb or later. You could aim for Jan delivery and potentially still reap full $7.5k if you were a betting man. |

As long as the 45e is considered a "qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicle" I believe paragraph 2 is applied. Quote:

Would this then be retroactive since it's not technical law yet? Or any chance language on cutoff changes to whenever it passes? Helps me with my own purchase decision, will likely wait a bit for clarity on options situation since there's very low probability for me to capture this tax benefit. |

So I wouldn't sweat it. I read the new bill and my head was spinning as it reads that it can qualify through a huge range of credit amounts, gas tank size, union labor, battery origin, etc etc. There was nothing certain I can bet on, and elected it was best to take delivery in 2021.
