Ordering a new car on the production line... any discounts to be had?

Hey guys,

just from your past experiences, is there any discounts to be had when ordering a car right off the line as opposed to whatever they have in stock?

Will be ordering a 2017 X5 Diesel pretty soon but will be our first off the line car.

I'm in Canada if that matters!

You may get more discounts or better negotiations by purchasing a car off the lot, but it may not be optioned to your specific needs or wants. Or you may get lucky and find one with the color and option you are specifically looking for. Personally, I prefer to order my cars knowing that the car will have exactly what I want and what I don't want. I also think taking delivery of a ordered car provides a special moment and feeling on that day.

Discounts for stock vehicles start to become available if the car stays longer without a sale or if the dealer has plenty of stock. With Diesel, the stock is limited atleast here in U.S. I'm in the same boat looking for a 35D M sport with some specific options and unfortunately couldn't find any. So am about to close a deal on a used 2015 X5.

You can definitely negotiate a custom-order, especially on a mass-produced car like the X5 (not so much on something that is rare right now like an M2). Sure dealers are motivated to negotiate to keep vehicles moving off their lot, but with a custom order, the dealer saves a ton of money by not having to ever insure & finance the vehicle since it hasn't been sitting in their inventory (dealers don't buy the cars from BMW with cash, they finance them). So they're basically just taking a fee for processing your order. And if BMW is offering the dealer incentives for each vehicle they sell, that's just extra cash in their pocket for processing a vehicle order (dealer incentive amounts are almost impossible to find out unless you know someone working at BMW willing to disclose that to you but they usually have them on almost every vehicle out there).

In Nov of 2015 I negotiated 14% off of MSRP for a custom ordered 2016 X5 from the factory. Now that included several rebates from BMWFS which didn't affect the dealer's costs or profit at all. First, I negotiated down to $200 over invoice, and THEN I got the option credit, BMWFS' Loyalty rebate, and a USAA member rebate through BMWFS (they essentially matched USAA's rebate in order to entice me to finance through BMWFS instead of USAA).

You can usually get around 10% discount on list price when ordering new cars here in Sweden at least. If buying as a company even more.
