All is based on dealer indicating they do have current allocation for custom build. Anyway to be sure the contract includes something on this as don’t want end up waiting months if they dont have allocation |

TLDR: make an excel sheet with your exact build, price, (the discount YOU want), and incentives. EMAIL it to a salesman, DO NOT talk on the phone. It is in black and white. You say, you give me this, and I will buy a car. Put 12% discount (before incentives) or whatever you want and go from there. I had 2 dealerships within 15 minutes accept my offer (both local). This will save you a lot of time and effort and get you the max discount. |

Got it. Makes sense. Thank you
I’m thinking about traveling to Spartenberg (9 hours away) for the BMW experience so only advantage of a local is if they would ship the car back with no additional charge so I could fly home. If not, dealership location doesn’t matter |

My local Houston dealership only offered me a 7.5% discount before rebates. Does anyone have a lead on a Texas dealer that will offer 12% (before rebates) or more off?

In NJ I've been getting offered 10% from virtually every dealer on X3M Competitions w/ Exec...I'm still holding out for at least 12%
I've been offered 12% a few times, but they were color I wasn't interested in. |

They can order one for you at the same discount level. All 6 of my BMWs have been custom ordered and I got the same overall discount regardless. Unless it is a leftover car or something like that you shouldn't see any difference in price. |

It's not something I would normally order, but the car I got on the dealer lot had the option. Now that I have it, I am glad to have it for highway driving and traffic. However, I still dislike the aesthetics how it ruins the lower bottom grill, but it is what it is.

What does it do aesthetically to the lower grille? Is it the small camera? |

I could possibly see myself using the traffic jam assist on rare occassions, but unless you spend a lot of time everyday in stop + go bumper to bumper traffic, do you really need/want this? I also never get to use cruise control (NJ driver) so the ACC will never get used either. So for me, it's $1,700 that won't get utilized, so I'd personally not get it if I had the choice. Others may have more use for these features, so if you want it, get it. I am not a fan of anything that drives for me. I much prefer to do things myself. Blind spot monitors are a different thing for me. I find them very useful, but they come with the X3M as standard so I'm all good there. |

that being said, have there been any tests to see if that "feature" works properly? I know that on an X5 test drive I took, a large plastic bag (55 gallon trash can style) blew across the road and the car slammed on the brakes thinking it was a person/dog/car/etc. Ordinarily not a big deal but we were on Rt. 202 in Hunterdon county doing about 60 when it happened and there was a rather large truck not too far behind me. I had a real "oh crap" moment as I thought we were going to get slammed by a semi from behind. Moments like this are why I really don't have too much faith in these technologies. I guess it could save you from an accident, but it could also kill you. |

I don't know if it's been tested. It's hard in the real world. Someone would have to post a dash cam video with the title "collision avoidance saved me", otherwise i think it's just people driving at 10-15 miles an hour at cardboard cutouts and that seems like cheating to me. Your example is a great one because it shows that while you may have the latest tech, it's not gonna save you from a 2010 semi that's behind you with a tired driver. That's why when I hit the brakes I immediately check the rear view mirror. |

Any experience/intel on mid-Atlantic pricing? Am going between VA/NC for an X3MC and floated the 12% off MSRP and the guy was baffled at how this could be possible.....there are 15+ of these things (comp and non-comp) across the dealerships regionally. This was my opening salvo, id settle for 10 based on what Ive read and just how many of these things are out there (109 within 200 miles) . Many on the lot for 90+ days. Sheesh.

Have a potential offer for an 11.5% off msrp before incentive X3M base with essentially no options (only 21" wheels). With MSD this could be below $700/mo lease hmm decisions...
