I am from Socal and currently in contact with a dealer out of state for the below offer. I want to check with you to see if this is a good deal. I appreciate your inputs.
Brand new 2025 BMW iX x50
MSRP: 97,175
Discount: 18% pre-incentives
Incentives: 12,000 July lease credit + 1,000 conquest
MF: 0.0003 + 4 MSDs
Sign and Drive
Monthly pre-tax: $556
18% off pre-incentive seems strong compared to what most brokers are offering, just need to factor in whatever your transit cost would be to get the car to you in Socal.
Buy it. Most enjoyable car I’ve ever driven outside of “fun” cars. It’s as quiet and smooth as a Rolls (RR). They shouldn’t be going that deep on it, so take it before they change their mind.
Thanks for the input. Isn’t it reasonable given 2026 MY already on the market and broker offering 10% MSRP for 2026 MY? I initially offer 20% off for 2025 MY last week and got rejected from all dealers in California. With the lease credit increased from 9900 to 12000 for July, I decide to drop my offer of 20% to 18% as technically it is still the same discount amount.
Is there anything that makes you hesitant about this being good or question it?
I was actually asking, not being sarcastic.
Frankly I don’t even believe this deal is real, I would have to assume this is a demo of some kind. That’s how good this is.
Also, I saw you mentioned this is an out of state dealer, but you put the doc fee as $85, which is the Cali-capped doc fee, so is this calc based on actual numbers from the dealer, or just what you think the deal should be? Or is a dealer outside of California doing an $85 doc fee coincidentally?
The offer is what I’m working with the dealer. The calculator is just estimated based on what i know for CA. I don’t mind paying few hundreds more for doc fee. Just to clarify, this has not been finalized yet so still in progress. That’s why I’m still asking here for input. If it’s signed, then I wouldn’t be asking at all.
I wouldn’t make some of these assumptions, you never know, they may have thought you meant 18% including rebates, or with marked up money factor and add-ons, etc.
Until you have a deal sheet from them showing what you’re expecting, I wouldn’t expect it will match that calc.
I think It’s because kle’s previous participation on the forum was mostly in the EQS threads where even higher MSRPs were getting even lower payments.
Benz has 0.0006 MF on EQS with the ability to buy it down further with MSD. Plus there is the @djrabbi effect where he single handedly devalued the Mercedes brand (sarcasm) so much they were giving the cars away for almost free to anyone who could spell EQS.
This deal (or pipe dream? I can’t tell) that kle describes on this iX is bangin’. Unfortunately it’s not obvious since this forum has a tendency to cause people to focus only on the payment and people often have the mindset the payment could always be lower. Hopefully he signs before he gets sniped.
If a dealer offered me a 97k 2025 iX for $556 per month + tax with nothing down, I’d let them do whatever they wanted with their numbers to make it happen.
Yeah, yall unicorn deals keep hunting me so bad that I always wanted to get one myself but unable so far. I didn’t get the EQS though. I got a EQE500 SUV in 2023 $96k MSRP for 18% off pre-incentives, so my monthly payment is like $616 pre-tax. Always strive to do better every lease.
Sorry if this is not the case for BMW, but again if it’s not better than my last deal, I won’t do it.
Situations change… and the over-supply of vehicles that caused EQS and EQE deals to be so good in 2023 and 2024 has been cured. It’s unlikely a EQ deal today will be better than an EQ deal from a few months ago. Except for the EQB. There are too many EQB out there still.
It’s best to hunt the right deal for you now; instead of comparing against others or lamenting something can always be cheaper. If you don’t really need a new lease now, by all means, just wait if you don’t like what you see. But it doesn’t make sense to assume waiting will translate into better deals down the road.
I totally get this but I mean at one point, you have to ask yourself how much juice is there left to squeeze? And is it even worth your time?
If those numbers are true, then that is really a good deal especially on a new unit. For context, I signed on a 2024 iX ($94k MSRP) for $539 with first DAS and my friend got a 2024 iX ($98k MSRP) $579 with first DAS. However, both of our cars were loaners and we had to ship across the country. We both got around 28% to 30% off the MSRP before incentives were applied. I am not sure where the market is nowadays for the 25s but all I have read on this forum from the brokers is that it has only gotten worse. Maybe things are different with this increased incentive.
