X3 on order...arrives any day now
The past few weeks have flown by, but it feels like these last few days are lasting forever. Can't wait.
Trying to resist the urge to call the dealer every 5 minutes, so figured I'd vent on here |

yes, we all know that feeling. It is strange, but after your baby has arrived and you drive it for a couple of weeks you don't understand what the fuss was all about....... and you start taking it for granted.

hope its sunny on collection day! Waited 6 months for my X3 and it lashed it down all day when I collected it - put a damper on it (excuse the pun)

"and thinking about what you're going to order next."
haha. That's a good one. And not so much beyond the truth ! But for the next 3 years I don't think a new X3 will be on my driveway. My wife would kill me...

While you might be able to negotiate a slightly better price for one already on the lot, you should still get a VERY good price on a factory order. 80% of BMW vehicles sold are custom. Don't let a dealer tell you any different.

Thank you! Takes a little more conversation, but in the end you can always get the price you want if you're persistent. I paid invoice.

Thanks for all your responses.
So far I have been to several dealers in my city, they all try to convince me that -1500 off MSRP on a ordered one or a -2500 off MSRP on an inventory one is the best deal they can get me, which make me a little upset since I was looking for a 7% off MSRP for an ordered one. Really appreciate many people sharing their buying experiences on the forum, now I know the price dealers give me is definitely not the best deal they claim... |

Write a general email that lays out the build you want (model, colors, packages, etc) and send it to at least 10 dealerships. Let them know you are prepared to buy right away and you know that you will likely need a factory built. Dealers are often like kids, you need to be very specific about what you want, e.g.: - This is exactly what I want, no variations - I am ready to buy right now, so I'm not wasting your time - I already know this will be a factory order, so that doesn't need to be discussed This is how I have bought cars for the past 15 years and ALWAYS with great success. Hope this helps you! |
