What freebies can i request my sales person?
I am expecting to pick my new X3 from dealer in mid April and wondering what freebies I can request?
Is it too much to ask for floor mats and mud flaps? |

Personally for items such as mudflaps I always include that as part of the sale negotiation, I also request a a full tank of fuel. It's unlikely you will get anything much and you've lost the bargaining power that you had while concluding the sale. That being said there would be no harm in trying, even stuff like golf bags or key rings?

Mats are included as standard in the UK. Are you talking about all weather mats?
I was given a free BMW X3 key ring which I've never used. Can't remember how much fuel was in it- probably third of a tank. I negotiated hard on the finance deal so asking for anything else post sale would seem rude (but maybe that's English reserve!). |

carpet floor mats are free with x3s in the US. i got two BMW polo shirts and an insulated BMW travel mug from my dealer. And I did PCD, which is quite the freebie.

My dealer is 40 miles away from my place and they were OK to deliver the vehicle to the local dealer for pick up. I thought of visiting the dealer just for the freebies. now i can skip... |

I was given nothing. Sales guy was a bit scattered. Carpeted mats did come with the car for no extra charge.

I got rubber floor mats also for free. I like the fit and they did a good job this past Winter.
