Agreed! In reading this post, I was amazed at the cost of the X3 in Australia.
When I purchased my X3 (USA) last month, I had to sign a document that said I was prohibited from exporting the X3 for 1 year. I was thinking...why would anyone do that? But now I can see that with prices varying throughout the world, it could make sense to buy one here and then sell it on (not sure how that works in REALITY...but it just points to the significant difference in prices).

hi bvp,
my x3 is custom build and was ordered in august and had my car ready to pick up by end of Oct 2011. it is quite a fast delivery as commented by others in forum. when i took my car, i checked all details and ensuring that the car is a Sept built one. all the options are customs built and there is no such car with all these option in dealers (at least i tried 3 dealers in sydney area.) if you want more details with my car and where i got it, u can send me a private message and i can email you the details from that onwards. hopefully my experience with the X3 will help to pursue a right decision to fit your need. cheers.... ppduck Quote:

My other half is keen On the 2litre petrol and will add leather seats and sat nav to it. We got a quote of 71,000 and she can get the corporate package.
However I'm trying to up sell her to the 3litre petrol, better performance and leather as standard. That seems to be about $82k, anyone been able to get it closer to $75k on the road ? Cheers |

Hey guys,
I just wanted to know about the discount you get on the car. I was personally never made aware of it. How does it work if you are doing a trade-in, because the dealer could either give you an average trade-in for the car and then give you a good discount or give you a great trade-in and little or no discount at all. Or do people still get good trade-ins and a discount? For all my cars so far, I was given quite poor trade-ins with no discounts. I'd appreciate all your help. Thanks |

I've historically been reasonably successful with discounts on new cars, even those that are 'in demand' or with '6 month waiting lists'. I have one simple rule: always remember that the dealer is not selling you the car. You are buying the car from the dealer. You have the $$$, you have the negotiating position, nothing else matters.

Update...
So after negotiating back and forth we ordered an Alpine White X3 2.0d. It's a build with the following options: 19" M light alloy wheels Double-spoke 369 M M Sport package Panorama glass roof Front seat heating Xenon Headlight washer system Navigation system Business BMW Head-Up Display Music interface for Smartphones Connectivity Rear view camera with Top View $86k drive-away in VIC... what do you guys think of the price? I received a 8.5% discount off RRP. We're very excited about our first BMW |

Hi Crest,
That's a reasonable discount you got there. I got a "bare bones" 30D (sunroof and different 18" wheels) for $80K drive-away. Worked out to be just over 12% discount over retail pricing. Hope you don't mind the long wait for build and delivery... but it will definitely be worth it in the end. |

Best time to buy a car is when you don't need to! It did come around and bite me on the ass however - a dealership bugger up cost be another 3 months wait. |
