Yes it usually is
Yes, poo poo bragging rights, but mention you charge $400/ hr. Too funny.

it’s just being lucky and smart, can’t have one without the other to get a unicorn.
BMW of Dayton is a harder dealer to crack imo. Low volume. I used to live there and they took me to the cleaners when I new to leasing.
I’m also looking at the m550i for my next car. I saw a few people on here post $650 a month. That’s the lowest number yet.

A few weeks ago I picked up a 2019 M550 with 85k MSRP for 11% off MSRP before incentives in Southern California. Although I got quotes from many dealers, got the best deal from this one that still had 6 on the lot. Not saying that is what you should expect but if they have inventory, they should be motivated this time of year.
Some find context helpful, sorry you had to read those extra words. I do appreciate the reminder on why I hate posting to forums.

Context is that 11% discount on BMWs should be pretty standard

And trying ALOT.
The more attempts at finding a deal one puts in, the luckier they seem to get.
also true, seems like dealers think most people will sign the first quote they give, usually they are shocked when I say I want base mf, breakdown on discounts/incentives etc. etc.
The thing though is: It isn’t. Outside of our happy little group of shrewd negotiators most people are pleased as punch to get invoice pricing.
So how much % discount do they have to give before rebates to be even?
I’d love to know your source on these percentages you’re posting.
What’s this “holdback” called?

spill the beans!
BMW “holdback” is the Added Value Program (AVP) - target payment of 5% of MSRP per vehicle retailed. It’s not a 100% guarantee like some other brands but most dealers are qualifying for it. If they’re not, they’ve got bigger problems.
This was addressed privately but it’s no secret the manufacturers have been finding ways to squeeze the dealers in the Information age.
funny guy!

11% is not common on an m550.
