Virgin BMW ordering advice
Have ordered cars in the past; never a BMW. Looking at a 2022 M240i xDrive. Have seen a lot of variance on % below MSRP; from 5-10%. Any advice on where to order or what's a reasonable offer for Fall 2021?
Thanks! |

With the current hip shortage I would be surprised if you could order an M240i for under list price. Especially getting one of the first deliveries.

I've worked at a BMW dealership since 1976 and Dan is right-on. You'll be lucky to get a build spot at this point. And be prepared to be missing some standard equipment, too.

Build the car you want online and then send that configuration to your local dealers via email and you'll get your answer.

Used BMW prices are crazy right now. Lightly used, 2 year old models are almost going for original MSRP price. I bought a 2022 X3 last month, used a 3rd party broker and was offered 6% off for in stock or incoming and 7% off ordered car. I was pleased with that since every dealer was quoting MSRP and not negotiating (metro Boston area). So to OP, any discount today would be good, especially for the first delivery of a new model. |

In my opinion the only way to save some money is to analyze what you receive on a trade-in. If you do your homework and really know the market don’t settle. I didn’t want to go ouch the hassle of selling privately but got lucky as I was offered $2k more at Carmax than my dealer offered on a trade-in. |

UPDATE
Thanks much for the replies! I have been shopping around dealers (midwest); here's the best I'd been given (Oct 2022). The dealer email was worded non-optimally - but I was offered "$2000 for a cash deal, $500 for finance or lease". This was in addition to another discount I qualified for.
I still waiting for a local delivery to test drive first; but after reading about 5-10% off 2021 models on the forums I wanted to see how 2022 was matching up. My sense from the forums and my contacts with several dealers that if you get $1000-2000 off MSPR (~2-4%) you're doing very well. I'm not in a huge hurry so not rushed to get this deal done, but if the test drive goes well and one of these dealers will give some MSRP relief I'll order and update here. |

Interesting that they are offering a better discount on a cash deal than a financed deal - that's exactly backwards of what one would expect, given the fact that they make money on the financing (unless you bring your own of course).

If you have a dealer that you normally work w/you may get up to 4%. If you're out of area or state and call that same dealer you will get MSRP or MSRP+
If you are or were military check out this link you can get up to $3,200 depending on model, if you bring cash/your own financing. https://www.bmwusa.com/special-offer...incentive.html If there is a BMW UDE near you and YOU ATTEND, you will get a coupon for $1,000 off. If the dealer already gave you a % discount they most likely will only give you $500 off b/c BMW funds 1/2 of the discount and the dealer funds the other 1/2 https://ude.bmwusa.com If you use BMW FS you can get loyalty of $750 but the military discount will drop to $500, in effect you loose >$2,000 If a member submit for BMW CCA discount. Varies by model/trim. Minimum membership is 3 years. So best case is MSRP - Dealer Discount - Military Discount - 1/2 UDE Discount - BMW CCA discount. Whatever you do make a decision b/c packages and options are dropping like flies and December allocation are released in ~ 2 weeks. Guessing all of the November allocations are gone already.

Update - order complete
Did pick a dealer; got $2000 off for cash and then another $750 (1.5%) off in deal. They have no allocation - but I'm first in line. Not in a hurry - hoping for the allocation and build to be complete in ~4 months. We'll see.

Have members that have ordered vehicles had issues as to the value of their trades? If one is quoted a trade value and delivery of the new vehicle takes 3 to 4 months, have the dealers adjusted your trade value? If not, did they specify that vehicle has to be under a specific mileage and have no additional issues from the time of appraisal to the time of actual delivery of new vehicle?

No other dealers I talked to were willing to lock in the trade value for an ordered car, much less at above market. I think this was their way of giving me a decent discount to MSRP as a returning (3rd car) customer. The other nice thing about this is that while I'm making lease payments on my current car, the depreciation portion of the payment will just go right back in my pocket as it reduces the buyout of the car from BMWFS, creating more 'equity' in their fixed trade value.

Order update....
Placed an order at a dealer with no allocation the end of November 2021; apparently first in line. Got a call after Christmas that they received an allocation and placed the order; now have the order number to track production. About a week after order placed; still no production date or update.
Not in a huge hurry and ready for a wait. Hopefully not much longer than 4 months to build/deliver. We'll see.... |
