Negotiation Tips for the BMW X3

1

BMW has one of the highest dealer markups in the industry — 7-8% between MSRP and invoice. There's significant room to negotiate.

2

Never pay MSRP on a BMW. Target 4-6% below MSRP as a starting point.

3

BMW offers loyalty ($1,000-$1,500) and conquest ($1,000) programs. Ask about both.

4

Order from the factory if you can wait 8-12 weeks — factory orders get the best pricing because dealers don't carry inventory costs.

5

The M50 and M have less negotiation room due to lower volume. Standard models are your best leverage.

6

Skip BMW's maintenance packages at the dealer — buy BMW Ultimate Care+ online for 30-40% less.

Best Months to Buy

December (year-end bonuses), March/September (end of quarter), and August (model year changeover).
