yea right now the cars hold about 6-7% off and no BMW isn't subsidizing "invoice" sales. We have a problem in this area where most of the metro stores work together to not devalue the brand but the small stores are struggling bad to sell more then 30 cars a month so they are less then intelligent in their pricing IMO. I tell my die hard clients look at the long view. The less and less BMW makes per car(dealerships selling at invoice, or people expecting 500 over) the more they start to cut corners. Right now it's mats and cargo covers but when is it gonna hit performance? Pay to play my friends.

So, you see my friend, purchasing a car at invoice is not going to break the bank; because BMW has already forecasted that. I know a guy that owned 3 generations of 5 series; and this guy was a BMW enthusiast. One time i saw him driving an E350 Merc. I asked him why so? He said that he sat inside an E60 5 series and it felt cheap compared to the older generations. He went on to say that BMW cars felt so isolated and disconnected from the road. To top it off, BMW service went down the drain, according to him. It is not to say Merc is a better brand, but to each is own. To me I still like them; even though they have done so many changes. |

I agree they have been cutting corners long before the last year or so however, that "cheap" feeling is a direct result of consumer demand. Regardless of focus groups and enthusiast asking for higher quality what they are willing to pay is the real voice of the people. There are very few car manufacturers that the people say, man they have gotten exponentially better over time. Toyota, GM, Ford, Chrysler and now even Honda have all had their hayday but have had to find ways to cut corners. Do you really think that BMW is trying to increase bottom line profit just cause, 10 or 20 years ago it wasn't uncommon to see dealership profits in the thousands and thousands of dollars per car now because people pay less you're typically in the hundreds so what happens, dealerships have to squeeze BMW. BMW cut profit margins a few years back to remain competitive and keep a certain build quality but their prices aren't astronomically increased. It's a cycle as consumers we create. It's doesn't cost less now to build cars then it did but we want bigger and bigger discounts. Were the only industry to consumers feel comfortable working from cost up, you have Best Buy pricematch the lowest price you find on that new TV but they still typically make a few hundred dollars profit, think about that in comparison to the 500 over invoice people expect on a new car. $1500 tv sells for $2300 and discounts to $2000, $40,000 dollars car holds $2400 profit and we want it for $500 over cost. The profit margins in dollars are the same but the cost of product is 2500% higher.

That is because you bundled it with another option...This package contains Comfort Seats, so if you have checked off comfort seats with another package, they don't charge you twice...thus the $1,000 difference.

In Canada, I just ordered 550xi awd with Msport package @ dealer cost + $2500 (or about 5.85% off our Cdn MSRP). Production in mid October and here by 1st week of December.
