The 2016 X5 35i is here....
The 35i has arrived. so not sure what to do now...
They know I want a diesel...they've asked me to make a decision by end of November whether I want it or not...they will add it to their inventory if I do not want it... I was thinking to ask for an additional discount to justify the fuel consumption vs the diesel...since they may have trouble selling it as quote by dealer "it is a special vehicle with lots of unique options"... Thoughts? |

I think knowing what kind of discount you already got would allow others to help you decide what you should or shouldn't be asking for
If you don't mind me asking, why get a 2014 and then a 2016. Was the first one a lease? |

No. It was purchased. Someone was interested in my vehicle and bought it off me and it turned out a win-win...I actually sold it higher than I paid for it myself after two years as I exported it to the States.

Tough call. You might as well ride it out until the end of the month as see if the Diesel comes out. You can also push them for a bit more. What have you got to lose at this point. They are giving you the option to get out of it as well. Take your time and see how it plays out.

is that like 1.2% or so? I think these guys only have a max of 7% which they will not go to. PM or text me what your discount was.

Hey Shaw. Do you have the ability to build a 2016 Diesel. I say this because I looked at building my 2016 M Sport online and it looks like they made a change and force Premium Seating ($2,900) into that M Sport Line. I'm convinced this was done to mitigate / offset some of our devalued currency. So essentially if I were to order my M Sport 35i today it would cost me $2,900 more and in turn I would get Premium Seating (I think that is the Napa Leather).
I say all this because I wonder if they would honour your original build or would you be forced into an option you didn't want only to end up paying more. Hope I made sense in what I wrote.

There are lot of glitches on their config system... i.e. Selecting 3rd row only with XLine, Premium seat only with MLine,...aluminum board with XLine only, etc Stick to the order guide, that prevails. But thx for noticing... |

Well with the charade I'm caught in now, not sure anymore...
We placed an order for a diesel, 3 weeks later the whole diesel thing happened, they ordered a 35i instead, and then now diesel is coming but not clear when... So we are not sure what to do... |

For ~$70k vehicle I would get exactly what I wanted. If thats a diesel for you, then wait a few weeks/months for the diesel. I would not settle when it involves the kind of money an X5 cost.

well you guys in the States already have it on your configurator...(2016 diesel)...so I'm guessing you can place your order already.
I think the debate is now for Canada where it is very unclear... we're waiting to hear back from the dealer provisionally this week... my hard guess is January. Now I'm not sure whether the Order is placed in January or delivery would be in January (order in December). In the new order guide it states: SOP for Diesel 01/16. I guess that should logically mean orders should be taken now. |

My thoughts exactly. No sense in settling for something thats not exactly what you want.

100% valid...but the issue is the uncertainty of the order/delivery as of yet with diesel...our initial order WAS a diesel...then it blew up in 1000 pieces...
