No loyalty, but the price includes shipping several states away.
The dealer I walked into refused to discount the MSRP on a similar spec X5. He said I couldn’t find a better deal online. Found one in the parking lot 5 minutes later. How did I do?
Nice! I just picked up an X5 50e today. Sticker was 87k but selling price of a little over 76k plus 2k rebates and another 2k cap cost reduction. Lease ended up $1037 with first DAS. Not too bad! We did the same deal 39/12k
We also have a Mercedes GLE 450e hybrid. We love the hybrid. 55-60 miles on charge and just plug it in at night. We have driven it 60k miles in 3 years of owning it and over 70% has been all electric. If you don’t drive more than 50 miles for work you may never use gas. It’s the best of both worlds for us.
Honestly the convenience of not going to the fast station is the best part!
it’s a great question. hard to answer as we have only had the BMW a few days. however, initial impressions exactly what most would think. BMW is much more powerful and sporty. my wife says it’s much more “touchy”. the GLE is just overall pretty smooth and chill. the electric range on the GLE is constantly over 60 miles and much better than the BMW even though the BMW has a larger battery. in my opinion the GLE is underpowered. they needed a V6. even their electric only is a little weak. though if you are looking for an all around chill, comfortable, and overall good ride the GLE is very solid. i personally am loving the extra power and driving dynamics of the BMW
