I know, I know, ask and X5 forum. I am.

But, I thought I query my friends on the E60 forum to see if anybody knows the expected discount (or percentage above invoice), one should expect on a 2007 X5 4.4l.

I am doing some research for a friend.

Thanks

I think they cut the 4.4L.

I have good experience with new 2008 528xi custom order with Mr. Gadomski-Manager Manager,Schaumburg-IL. (patrick BMW) .You may get 3% over factory invoice(SAMS club member) OR better deal depending on model you buy. I recommend him.

BMW dropped the 4.4L on the new X5's. The only engine options are the 3.0L 6-cyl. and the 4.8L 8-cyl. I haven't heard about any discounts. The people over at x5world.com might have a better idea.

I went into my dealership recently to look at the 4.8 for the wife. We were looking to lease, not to buy. As of right now, there are no lease programs on the X5. The dealers are so pissed right now b/c 9 out of 10 customers that walk in are looking to lease. All of them end up walking out when they hear the numbers. I had the dealer crunch some numbers for me and here's what I got... With a fully loaded 4.8 w/ OEM 20" wheels and $0 down, I was looking at $1327/month including taxes. He even used the invoice price for the calculation (Approx. $70K), knowing the payment would STILL be ridiculous. The MF is around .00360 right now. They said within the next 2-3 months, there should be a good lease program. As for buying, they were almost willing to offer $500 over invoice if I would commit to an order that day. That's how desperate they were.

I fear BMW will have to own up to the lease program as they will get flooded with used cars in the next few years.

Audi to protect its dealer profitability has cooled on Lease supports but it seems to not affect them all too much. Less cars are moved but greater profits. The dealers after building nice new showrooms were getting killed.

ANd with the reduced maintenence might the quality of used cars decline?

BMW's tend to be a bit over priced but the lease programs make up for it.

The new E70 X5 comes with a 4.8 V8 and the very fine 3.0 litre 272 hp R6, both auto only.
For us in Europe the 3.0d is the most interesting engine, and a superiour one.

BMW is the most earning/profitable car manufacturer today and by far!

For what else brand cars would people stand in a queue!
The new E60 535i, the E92/93 335i and also the E70...

I guess the bosses of GM, Ford and DaimlerMoPar are crying....

Well here in germany at the BMW dealer that I went to they offered a take 5 discount of $2500 dollars of of any 5series if you purchased it buy feb 07. I dont know if that is BMW worldwide but $2500 off is a god start. Well clarify its $2500 of of options I.E. sport package or whatever. But nevertheless it $2500 however you look at it.
