Deal Check: BMW i7

Please review…

2023 BMW i7 x60
MSRP: 135,495
Sales price: 115,200 (14.9%)
Taxed incentives: 9900
Tax rate: 7.25
Term: 36 months / 7.5k Miles
MF: 0.0019
Residual: 54%
DAS: 2500
Monthly: 1348

No loyalty, 2500 down. Anything else?

The deal looks solid.

No fleet? You should check.

Assuming that’s a pre-tax $1,348 - @IAC_Scott i7 x60 with a similar msrp for like $1,300 a month and $3,500 DAS. So your deal is looking pretty sold.

Thanks @holeydonut, it includes the taxes as I rolled them into the payment.

@IAC - not sure if the i7 falls under the 7 series category, but I do not see anything for EV vehicles.

Really on the fence with this given the EQS580s can be had for about $1k. I do like the BMW much better from a looks perspective.

There’s no comparison between the two IMHO. The i7 is the better vehicle overall.

There is one comparison… they are both incredibly ugly when you view the front of the cars.

Getting the ‘can’t stack’ run-around… but looking at the fine print, looks doable.

It stacks.

Lol that page literally reads verbatim in big-bold-font (no fine print) These incentives are in addition to current sales offers except loyalty & conquest credits.

What may be happening is the dealership is getting some trunk money as a dealer discount that goes away if this thing flips to fleet… so they’re saying it won’t stack.

It’s probably one of the few remaining option credit ($5,000) cars.

Sounds ENTIRELY possible…lol

Regardless - even if I’m leaving some meat on the bone, I’m feeling ok with the deal.

There’s no reason they shouldn’t give you fleet if you qualify for it. I would press on that.

Ahhhh is the fleet incentive a taxable rebate?

Danny could end up horse trading a dealer discount (not taxable in most states) with a taxable incentive from BMW-Fleet.

Fleet is from BMW and should not affect dealer margins, correct?

Technically Fleet should not affect the dealer margin.

But I’ve done enough incentive planning to know that sometimes a fleet unit gets removed from the count of vehicles sold at retail (not-fleet)… which affects the variable incentive to the dealer.

So they may pull some of their dealer discount since your now-fleet-unit won’t won’t get the spiff at the dealership. However the customer usually pays the same either way (assuming no taxes on the fleet incentive).

Sounds like a wash, so to speak. Appreciate the insights and …nice car you got there! :wink:
