Incentive (bmw factory delivery credit) probably starts around July/August and rebate probably be $1500 range to start. The increment will be $500 for each month goes by (I am using the MY2011 as illustration)

MY2011, the maxium for such rebate reached $3500 by November 2011.

Let say there is another exact incentive program running this year (MY2012) and if you are thinking of buying around November 2012, thenyou should get the BMW factory delivery credit + another 8- 8.5% off the optioned MSRP. Therefore, in theory, you can get about $9 - $10K off the car, pending what optioned you configured

Btw, please don't let any dealers fool you when they suggest they are giving you such a deal if one suggests the dealer is offering $5000 off. You need to focus on how much is the dealer's discount and how much is the bmw canada's rebate. Then you combine the two to get the grand total.

If you are buying now, you should be getting around 7% - 7.5% off, pending which local market you are at. If you are in GTA, then that's what you should be asking & getting. NOTE: when the MY2012 came out in the Fall 2011, people are getting 6 - 6.5% off, in the GTA market.


I had a thread in the past that I argued with Canbec BMW for the shell game of discounts being given.
