Thoughts on 30D Msport offer UK
Hi I would like to hear opinions on the following deal I have been offered.
New build 30D Msport with the following spec Msport Pro Package with 22" Bi colour wheels Tech Plus Package Visibility Package (Now includes Laser Lights) Comfort Package Individual extended Merino Leather (Black) Carbon fibre interior Individual Tanzanite blue Sky Lounge Roof RRP comes out at £79,895.00 I have been offed it for £68,527.00 which is around 14.5% discount when I asked if I could still get £1500 deposit contribution they said this was built in to the price! but could still get the 2.9% rate. Does any one know if this could be bettered or any one who has achieved a better deal Thanks in advance for any advice Neil Last edited by njw1967; 04-25-2021 at 02:17 PM.. |

Is the free Tech pack still an option ? I would love to know who was doing 19% that would be perfect I have decided on new as went to view a 2500 mile November 2020 similar spec car that had third row seating (I don't need or want that option) but only standard Tech Pack, crafted Clarity that is not for me either, and it looked like they had washed it with a brillo pad then tried to buff it with a similar material, wheels repaired and lacquer runs all over two of the m, scratches on the grill, and five small chips on drivers door looked like it had PDR and touched in, scratch on back door down to primer, I rejected it and they wanted £59,00,00 for it so I thought for a bit more I could have a new one with the spec i want.

No, unfortunately not, I think currently the X3 has the free tech pack, so it may come around to the x5 again at some point.
No idea who was giving the 19%. Btw Its a nice spec you got there. The interest rate won’t change as that’s set by BMW Financial Services. it’s the dealer discount you need to haggle with. Deposit contribution won’t change either as that’s BMWs contribution and it should be the same across all the dealers. So don’t let them tell you that they are doing you a favour by letting you have the car at 2.9%, they really don’t have a say in it. Last edited by mrbmwx3; 04-25-2021 at 07:16 PM.. |

Nice spec
14.5% is a very good offer IMO. I was in the market for an X5 before covid changed everything and there were some good deals to be had, however, covid changed everything and most deals dried up due to vehicle stock shortages and factory shutdowns. I have ordered a relatively high spec 3.0d M-Sport, but due to component shortages BMW withdrew air suspension as a UK market standard fit option to a default Adaptive Suspension set up, an arrangement which is due for an update in June. The only way to get around this was to order the third row seating, which the dealer compensated me the cost for. As my order is looking at a October 21 delivery, which would mean a 22MY, which may include some spec and price changes, I am hoping the air suspension component shortage improves as I can then delete third row seating as it is not a feature I will use much if at all, even though third row seating does increase the vehicles future value. |

I thought I was on for a good deal with a 12% discount on a 45e, 14.5% discount is remarkable.... well done OP.
Ordered mine in February with a rather hopeful delivery for June. Hope yours isn’t too long as it’s a right pita having to wait. |

If you spec 3rd row then air suspension is added automatically, as it's needed given the extra weight.
Likewise for the 45e, due to the batteries, that also adds air suspension. They do have a smaller qty of air suspension components, but just (for now) holding them back to allow them to build cars that are either 45e or have 3rd row ordered. |

The current BMW brochure still shows Air suspension standard across the range except M50D that's no longer available!, may just try to get a deal on the 3rd seat option to get the air and order earlier as the car will have better residual value even if I never use them. BMW need to get their documents updated before they make changes like this its very annoying, the air suspension is one of the reasons I wanted the G05 Regards Neil Last edited by njw1967; 04-26-2021 at 09:50 AM.. |

The only issue with selecting third row is you lose the bootspace underfloor storage, which is good for stashing away the general boot litter like bags, collapsable crates and picnic blankets etc. |

Just ordered an artic grey and ivory white X5 30d M Sport on a PCH, with Plus and Tech packs and towbar so a pretty light spec compared with others. List £68,499 - discount £11,569 so circa 17% discount. Took some negotiation and pretty much a Dutch auction between two dealers. Delivery is scheduled for July as it appears I’m using one of their build slots. Though I have since discovered, as per my order form, dealer never advised this would be the case, air suspension is deleted and replaced with M Sport Adaptive. Coming from a X4 M40d I assume the ride will be the same as it has 21 alloys and adaptive - it’s firm but fairly composed and just about comfortable. Though I’m gutted as was looking forward to a super silky ride so I’m tempted to cancel unless dealer covers the cost of third row seating and air suspension but I doubt it.

Yeah good shout and I probably say the same and threaten to cancel but as my order is a likely June build it will come without or they change the spec to include 7 seats and air suspension FoC which I doubt they will do.

I’ve changed my spec slightly today to piano black (as I really like it) And added tow bar as intend getting a caravan due COVID situation plus £1095 is a bit heavy for a trim and the price difference nearly pays for the tow bar. I’m going to call the dealer and tell him if they add third row (even though I don’t want or need it)I will pay my deposit, still think I will wait for September to register it.

Yeah will probably do the same as will hopefully be overseas for the month of august so don’t need a brand new car sitting at the airport car park gathering dust. I’m also waiting on my local dealer to quote on a stock 40d with air suspension but no tow bar.

Quick Update - my X5 is due to be built on week 31 which is circa 4 weeks after the supposed restriction on air suspension parts for standard X5 30d / 40d and 40i orders in the UK. So i wonder if the parts are available again when my car goes into build - big but - will they just stick the M Sport Adaptive set up per my order form or revert back to air suspension? If the latter they will probably want to charge me! So I will hang tight for now and not amend my order in the hope air suspension gets added FoC or I just get charged £700 for it without the third row seats.

I'm gonna get 22" aftermarket wheels anyway, my mistake in not speccing those in the first place If I had a redo, I'd have ordered the M50i as well but hey, next time round or a full-fat M perhaps. |
