Not sure if anyone realized this but I was browsing on BMW.ca and noticed the base price went up about CAD $2700 for th 35i. I'm glad I bought before the price increase. That seems kinda steep considering it doesn't look like they added any more content.

[lbjgh]

46,900->49710=2,810 increase on the 35i.

I suppose the new prices will reflect the 2013 models... order now and get April production (2013 model).

Model revisions aren't updated though...

The X5 35d is $2500 more than the X5 35i.

I think we can assume the X3 30d/35d will be priced at 52,210 based on X5 pricing matrix.

Add the tech package at 2,200 and the price will be a reasonable 54,410. I've got my check book ready.

Prices also up 2.5 to 3% in Hong Kong.

But it is not all bad news (for some) -> The 4 cylinder N20 will be cheaper to produce than the 6 cylinder N52 on the 28i.
Watch out for the 28i price! In Germany, it went up despite the shift to N20.

i wonder how much of this is new features (such as the rumored lane departure system) vs BMW padding the profits. can't really tell until we see the 2013 options list, and how the packages may have been changed. who knows the price may have gone up but some features may now be standard that weren't before... I suspect its another month until we get US pricing. I suspect i'll go test drive an X3 N20 just for the heck of it.

Actually it looks like the entire BMW lineup has increased in price.

The US prices match this price increase that started Jan 1st. The increase was $270 for the 28i and $320 for the 35i.

$270 for the US and $2700 for Canada. Nice.

I suppose the US has 10x the population...

Relax there is no price increase!

They modified the configurator to show Freight, PDI, Admin fee and tire tax to be included. Check the pricing detail by clicking on the small i next to the price.

Are you making an assumption? The text from the website says different on the model selection page...

No. Go to the My BMW tab on the configurator and by passing your mouse over the "i" icon you will get the following pricing detail:

Note that the total price will vary depending on the province as some taxes are different.

So how does that work in my situation? I bought and paid for my x3 in December 2011. I did not take delivery until January 2012. But in looking at my sticker, I definitely paid the 2012 prices?

So should I have paid the 2011 price or the 2012 price?

[lbjgh]

Ah, good catch PierreMtl.

BMW needs to clean up their website and correct errors in the configurator (i.e. availability of M-Sport and Dynamic Comfort Package).

Thanks for the follow up.

If you payed for it in 2011 I'd imagine you ought to of paid the 2011 price.

I double checked my paperwork. I paid the 2011 price. I guess because I picked up the car in 2012 at the PCD, it has the 2012 sticker price on it.

How much are you guys paying for freight? I'm in Alberta and I'm paying $2495. Reason I ask is it looks like MTL buyers are paying $1995.

I was quoted $2,495 as well... I asked one of the dealers about it, and they dropped it to $1,995. More padding I guess?

[Tangsta]

I'm more curious about other fees

My invoice shows $495 for registration, $100 A/C, $6 AMVIC
Whereas BMW build website shows $100 A/C, $6 AMVIC, $29 Reg, $595 Admin, $16 Tire Tax.

I guess it all works out the same in the end?

[lbjgh]

That's why using CarCostCanada or the APA for pricing keeps everything fair... ya don't feel like you've been taken to the cleaners.

There is 9.89% markup on the Canadian X3's so 4.5% profit is reasonable in my opinion. We "customers" pay for everything else anyway, shipping, pdi, special orders, licencing, etc. etc. The profit goes into property leasing/maintenance and commissions.

I got free invoice price reports from carsaver.ca and unhaggle.com before buying mine.
Neither seemed to reflect quite as much as a 9.89% markup... unless you mean 9.89% after all the requisite fees (PDI, admin/documentation/registration)?

Just realized I found those sites from your post here, so I should thank you.

When are you getting your X3? I'm in Calgary as well. I'm expecting mine end of Feb or early March. What are the specs on your X3?

No I'm not. What packages or options did you order? Here's mine.

Alpine White / Red Brown Leather / Wave wood
Executive, Premium, M-Sport, Apps, Dynamic Comfort, Technology, Heated Rear Seats

Which dealer did you purchase from? I guess it makes no difference considering it's the same owner.
