Good trick with BMW or Mini, for anything with a rebate which requires you to be the registered owner like the EV federal and state rebates use the BMW financial product called Owners Choice (I think it’s Texas specific). It’s like a lease in that you have a break period where you can hand the car back after 3 years but the vehicle will be in your name unlike a lease. That will mean you can apply for the rebates that will bring the effective price way down.
You’ll also get the BMWCCA rebate for $1k for any new X5.
That said most of the BMW dealers here are not competitive, and most are part of the same company. If you’re flexible in the hybrid you’re looking for the Mini Countryman EV can be had for a competitive price at the moment with little work, e.g: Trophy Garage [ Photos ]
