When we dealt with COs, they were easy to deal with via email. Gebhardt in Boulder just sent back full list price - and in times where you can get a quote from every dealer in the area via email, that is probably not the best approach. One thing I didn't realize is there is a military discount that is fairly easy to get if you have ever been in any branch including National Guard. It is taken off after any other discounts and ended up being around $3500 additional (different for cash or if you are financing through BMW) after all other discounts were negotiated. |

I would def encourage everyone to shop around all over, you can buy BMWs from any dealer in any state with a variety of delivery options. Use that to your advantage. Yes time is money so for some its more hassle then its worth to save a few bucks but sometimes it can be a lot which makes it worth it.
also like I always say, look at the whole deal not just the sale price. (MF, rate, fees, etc.. those can be marked up and take a lot of your discount out on the back end) also if you dont have a production number right away you dont have a allocation. If anyone is interested in getting a quote from our guy Jimmy Miller, you can reach him at jmiller@stevethomasbmw.com we sell all over US.

The last two I bought were ordered through Grayson @ Winslow in the Springs.
Both times I received what I felt were fair deals, decent but not necessarily great. But you have to ask yourself what that extra .5 to 1% is really worth. I believe having a relationship with the servicing dealer has value. Being a repeat customer I think has future value. Even at $100k, is the 1% really worth hours of shopping, hassle and BS just so that you feel like you got the best deal? When the market is hot and allocations are scarce, good discounts will be more difficult. Big dealers have to move more cars, but many times you will be just another number. Small dealers need to make more off each car, but you will have more of a relationship with the staff and I believe be more valued as a customer, especially repeat. I think the key in obtaining a good deal is first knowing what a good deal is with all factors considered. Knowing exactly what you want, what that really costs, and what deals are out there for that build so that you are ready to go when the right deal presents itself. I don't flip cars every two to three years, so for the money, I want exactly what I want, so I always order. I'm willing to wait for it to be built/shipped. I have done Performance Center Delivery on both of my last two and will continue to do that. I think that helps some in negotiation also, since as GOLFFRR stated, I could buy from anyone. I will say though that the relationship with Winslow has resulted in invitation to some invitation only events which has been sweet. Bonus!

Very, very few people have their vehicle shipped after PCD. You would have to arrange to yourself as BMW does not offer that service.

Right. The pick up experience sounds super cool and I'd love to take a vacation in SC. But neither the cross country road trip nor giving it to a shipper are appealing to me. So I was just wondering how others managed it. I mean, if I lived on the east coast it would not be a problem at all.

It's tough to get a good deal here in Colorado for sure. They all seem to have endless rich housewives lined up to pay list price. I ordered my x5 m50i from the same place I ordered my m550i from - Nebraska. Having it shipped. 10% off plus incentives. Let me know if anyone wants contact info, they've been great to deal with.

Again I am sorry your experience wasn't the best from Jimmy Bach, would have to look into it more and see what he was referring to, to your specific situation. I usually have all the forum members work with Jimmy Miller but nonetheless, you obviously did not have a good experience and wish you nothing but the best. Can't win them all right Have a great week my friend and hopefully you find what you are looking for. Im always on here if you need anything

The G05 is much more refined than the F15 chassis 3rd Gen X5 in many ways, however I really miss our X5M, as the performance was insane and the vehicle seemed to defy physics and felt like my F55 in many scenarios ... no small feat for a 2.5 ton SUV! Also, if you can get past the less refined F85 transmission, the vehicle is a blast to drive and always put a smile on my face. It does look a bit long in the tooth compared to the 4th gen X5 ... however you should be looking at ~ $65k compared to $100k for purchase price between the F85 & G05 respectively. Granted, I've been in crappy company cars the majority of the last 4 years, only getting to drive the BMWs or MINI on weekends, so my F85 became my wife's daily when her F34 lease was up. She still misses the ///M, but loves the power and fuel economy of her 45e. I think you should drive the two and compare for yourself, however as much as I loved the F85, the new G05 M50i is only 43hp shy of the F85, and likely a bit more comfortable to drive ... you will likely not notice the missing HP, but will notice the lack of "harshness" that the M50i takes you up to speed when flogging on it compared to the whiplash-enducing F85. |
