I’m looking at getting a custom built i7 e50 and curious if this is a good deal, or if I could do better by bugging more dealers. This is built to order and will be built in Nov or Dec:
3 yr, 12k per year
MSRP 135,195 after delivery
Rebates:
9,900 general bmw
3,000 loyalty
1,000 college grad (masters :))
(So 13,900 in rebates)
Dealership discount: 12% off MSRP
$16,223
Selling price: 105k (about 23% off msrp?)
MF is marked up 20 pts to 0.0017
Decent amount of back and forth from one dealer, and when I tried another they matched it right off the bat. A few other dealers dropped out at anything above 6%, especially on a custom order.
I’m actually happy buying from anywhere in the country and shipping if it gets me cheaper bottom line.
Essentially fully loaded minus the screen.
We were considering moving up to the e60, but it was around an extra 200ish per month and we couldn’t tell much acceleration difference when not using boost. Plus we have a Taycan for when we wanna go super fast.
(What discounts are you seeing on the ones you guys are working with?)
I’ve only seen one i7 in person but I think it looks a ton better than the EQS, and if it’s like the iX versus EQ SUV’s it probably drives better too. For me the iX was worth a few hundred more than the EQE SUV but not sure an i7 is $500/month better than an EQS?
Just looking purely at numbers it does seem like a strong deal. The fact that another dealer instantly matched it makes me wonder if there’s some more wiggle room.
This!
We tried the EQS and it felt way more plastic to us then the i7, felt more in line in with i5.
The i7 is way the hell too larger, but it’s so amazingly soft and comfortable inside
Bugging more dealers right now will get you the best discount available right now.
I’ll say the same as I said about the iX in, what was it, March. There’s almost no market for these at these current prices. Either customer facing rebates will improve or trunk money will. Effective payments will have to come down.
I would look into the cost of buying the mileage up front, which involves an RV hit, versus just paying for the excess mileage out of pocket. At these MSRPs, the RV hit is usually the greater cost vs buying more miles you may or may not need (which BMW permits incrementally over the term of the lease). Have you looked into MSDs?
I’ve been looking and have not seen a discount over 12%.
BMW allows extending it during the lease?
I did the math and 10000–>12000 costs $5,187 vs $6,000 for overage. So the math is relatively close. When it comes closer to signing I may do more math on all the lease options.
(Basically, if I drive 33,000+ it’s cheaper for prebuying the miles, but this also doesn’t factor in the time value of money either).
I think MSDs don’t make sense at the current interest rate, do they?
