Hi guys, so I'm currently in a F80 lease slated to end this March. I've never ordered a car from BMW but my dealer says he has an allocation for a March production. I have a couple questions. What's the timeline like on production. And can you negotiate pricing on an allocation?

I think 8 weeks is a reasonable timeline after start of production. Some membere paid MSRP and some got up to 6% off. It depends on several factors such as your location & demand in your area, your relationship with the dealer, and your negotiation skills!

I placed my order on 08Jan, dispatched from factory 09Feb.

Okay thanks! And if I'm not big on a particular build or color do you believe it would be more logical for some to show up on dealership lots for better deal?

Awesome! Do you mind sharing your build? And if you were able to get anything off msrp.

If you're willing to wait a few months then yes you'll find better deals. I'm thinking when AWD is released there's an opportunity to get better deals on the RWD models. Since your lease expires soon you may not have that option though.

You can get just as good of a deal when ordering one as you can on one that is sitting on the lot. I just ordered mine and ended up getting a little over 9% off of msrp which was $7,000. Most dealerships will negotiate. If you've got two dealerships within close proximity to one another, even better. Just keep going back and forth until you get the best deal. Never pay MSRP.

Just spoke with dealer and he said they aren't offering anything off of msrp. Anyone know a god dealer in California lol

I think many people in this forum are getting 6% discount, but given all the dealers I reached out to in CA, many of them are charging mark-ups. One even asked for 10k. It is unbelievable. Can't say I am not jealous about 7k discount but anyway personally I am happy that I secured an allocation with MSRP and some incentives.

Who asked 10k markup? It's hard to believe even in the middle of nowhere they are giving a $7,000 discount and there are others asking $10,000 over. Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO and Civic Type R are all marked up across the country.

My build linked below. I don’t think you’ll get much off sticker the consensus around here is at most 7%, for those with some kind of loyalty or ability to negotiate down. There’s a lot of demand so if you can get anything off and allocation, I’d say take it (if you are really determined)

My sales guy said something similar about a mark-up especially for places with few allocations. We live in a supply-demand economy after all.
