I'm not sure about 528s....

This is bs!!! So not fair!!!

snowboarder · 05-13-2011, 12:58 AM

Partially thanks to this I got an incredible deal on my 535i.
If anyone is considering leasing in May - do it.

RCUK · 05-13-2011, 07:15 AM

Really annoyed if they do this here in the UK!!

Though with the Audi A6 coming with Nav as standard i can see why BMW are following suit. Was pretty much told that when i collected mine in April!

Imola.ZHP · 05-13-2011, 09:42 AM

Last I checked the year is 2011, navigation should be a standard option in all luxury cars IMO...

rking · 05-13-2011, 11:36 AM

The option credit is the dealer cost of the navi which is $1730.00 and is only good on

2011MY 528i, 535i, 535xi, 535i GT and 535xi GT Option Credit Program - 5/3/11 - 6/30/11

Model must be paid for by 6/30/11 so basically you need to purchase an in stock or one that is in production to receive the credit.

Can you share your lease deal? I am looking forward to leasing one soon.

You can PM me if that will be more comfortable.

Thanks in Advance.

As I posted under another thread:

US guys consider yourself lucky. In Canada you are forced to buy the navigation system - no discount, no exceptions. So in the case of the 535i the base price is posted at $62,300 BUT you can't build your own without the $5,400 Executive package. I'd love to hear what Consumer and Corporate Affaires would have to say about deceitful practices. If you are forced to buy the option than it is no longer an option. The base price should be advertised as $67,700.

Residuals are the same in May as they were in April.
Free nav lowers your monthly payment quite a lot, much more
than the small money factor increase (in some terms).
Plus the deals are better.

Seems like you got a great deal on your car. Can you share with us (or just PM me) what MF you got, and how much below invoice you paid? I thought residuals are 1% lower in May than in April? Thanks.

For 528i is lower by 1% in May.

For 535i, the residual is the same.

djse60 · 05-13-2011, 11:39 PM

As stated earlier, the Nav option credit is for $1730, which is the wholesale price of the option and the money factor went up on 5 series for May as well.

mmsf · 05-19-2011, 11:59 AM

Another reason BMW may be discounting the nav is that the hard drive installed database in the new cars is flawed. It is not as good as the DVD-based prior versions of BMW nav, and as of this date, no fix is yet available. BMW is "working on it," as they are aware of the problem. My system has directed me to non-existent streets, trebled the distance to relatively nearby towns, and failed to recognize major thoroughfares.

jaekeem · 06-04-2011, 03:01 AM

This is a late response to the thread but I was told all BMW's that are being manufactured at this time will come with Navi even if you dont want one. The non navi electronics were made by a Japanese company located at the heart of the tragedy a few weeks ago.

I guess BMW's marketing department is trying to spin off the current production runs as 'free' navi when the current consumers really have no choice.
