I'm also in Florida and got a good deal through Costco Auto program... It may look like I work for Costco by now, cause I've mentioned it many times here! But because none of the many BMW dealers in FL participates on the Costco program or want to give a decent discount on the new X5, I decided to order the vehicle in GA. If you are interested, PM and I can give you the contact details of the SA who helped me there.

Price was 1,000 over invoice!

After I had shopped around for a few weeks, a friend of mine suggested I use costco too. At first I dismissed it but then built a car on their online tool and a dealer in Sacramento gave me $1450 over invoice. Much better than I was able to do on my own, so I highly recommend too!

Well done!

Was the Sacto dealer able to verify that he actually has a real allocation slot to give you in the near future, or is he just promising to sell the car at that price sometime down the road when slots open up?

Great question - he gave me one of two allocations they had for a Dec build. I have been checking the production number online and it still shows as "processing" (I of course check every day). It does seem like there are dealers that negotiate for spots they don't have which isn't good.

One thing worth mentioning is that if you're leasing, it seems that dealers make up a portion of the discount they offer on the MSRP by marking up the money factor on the lease. They initially offered .00165 to me (BMW charges .00125). I got them down to .00145. Not great as the MF makes a big difference on an $80-90k lease. Just make sure you get that on the table early on...

Thanks.

And totally true re needing to be aware of the classic stealership game of offering a seemingly good and very tempting discount off the MSRP only to make it back up (and even more so) by tricks like tacking on a markup on the lease money factor, charging phantom "processing" fees, undervaluing a trade in, etc., etc.

Not new news, but everyone out there needs to get every single element of the deal evaluated as a whole and agreed to in writing in advance. The good dealers will have no problem with this, while the shifty ones will obfuscate and delay until the car arrives and then try to dip their hands even deeper into your wallet while you are drooling over the car.

^^ ABSOLUTELY TRUE!! in the big majority of dealers (at least in my area) it is so frustrating to make a deal. It's like you have to be aware because you feel like somebody is trying to scam you in dozens different ways.

Some great deals listed here. I went into BMW of Bridgewater (NJ) for a '14 and they told me they were holding to sticker. I said no thanks. They let me walk out of the showroom with MSRP as their final offer! Said they only had one car on hand and that was only because a deal had fallen through.

Makes the X5 another lost sale to me. I ended up going to Open Road for my '13 M5 last November when they told me MSRP or leave it. Left it then too.

I'm looking for the most aggressive dealer in the NJ area that is willing to move units at invoice or close to it.

I went to a dealer this week. They also told me MSRP with $1K if finance at 2.99%. I am thinking since this is a smaller dealership, their allocations/slots may not be as many... so the search is on.

Is it a hassle to go through financing for the $1K discount?

I signed the deal for MSRP - 6% in addition to the 1,000 loyalty and just took delivery of the X5 earlier this week. The dealership is not doing any deals right now below MSRP and all their production slots until April are apparently booked.

You are giving wrong information to other fellow members. 6% off with BMW Bellevue and BMW seattle is only for Microsoft employees that's how you got it

For general public it's 3%.

Best I've found in our area is Thompson BMW just north of Philly @ $1250 over invoice (Costco Auto program) (6.75% off MSRP)

Open Road in Edison offered 5% off MSRP
BMW Bloomfield offered me 5.125% off MSRP

BMW Bridgewater are a bunch of clowns ... they tried to get me to pay sticker for my '14 550xi ($89k) ... I got it @ Open Road Edison for $80,250 + $3k BMW NA incentives ... so basically for $77,250!

I don't understand how Bridgewater does much business with this strategy. Then again it may be self fulfilling. Try to sell at MSRP or close to it. Lose many deals. Lower sales means smaller allocations. Smaller allocations means they want to get as much as possible for every car so they wait for that one buyer for their limited inventory. Round and round it goes.

I'll check out Thompson. I have heard they are good and I have Costco as well. Nice deal BTW on that 550xi.

Back in November of '13 the only dealer that would give me ANYTHING off MSRP for my M5 was Open Road (I knew somebody there). Spoke to 5 other dealers in NJ and each told me MSRP or no deal (2 wanted over MSRP!). Wish I had just a little patience & waited 6 months as the deals last summer and especially now are incredible on the M's. Definitely pays to wait and to shop around a little

Exactly ... If they ever want to become a large volume dealer, they need to revise this strategy ... But I guess it's working for them. They have a good location in my opinion, and access to a client base that has above average income, so maybe they are not willing to haggle for a deal.

There is nothing like general public discount. What you get is what you negotiate. Being an employee of Microsoft has its perks, but not the 6% discount....

that is the discount off of MSRP?? 3% of MSRP without any negotiation for everyone.

You PM me few days ago that only Microsoft employees are getting 6% discount

and I did talk to GM over there he told me same thing.
