A fair price?

Can't find the '19 M240i coupe on True Car yet so I'm just looking for what others think a fair price would be. My options are Mineral Grey, black leather interior, run-flat all seasons and NAV. Build and Price shows $49,500. Dealer is adding destination $995, registration and fees around $1,400, tax at $4,000 totaling around $55,895.
Thank you.

So I ordered a 230i x drive in Aug. and am picking it up Monday at the performance center in SC. Can’t speak for taxes, my fees were $175.0O destination was $995. But I got 7.25 % off of the msg price(build price) no trade and no real negotiations required.

Find another dealer! Those “registration and fees” are pure dealer gravy!! Why pray tell would you want low performance all season tires on an M240i?

Build price is $51,295 without the registration taxes and fees that they are adding. That's from the BMW site.
I've got one ordered that's a Xdrive, HK stereo, black grill and Adaptive lights for $51,000. That's not with taxes.

This. I mean, you have to pay registration, and maybe small (~$80) doc fee, but the rest are likely BS. Ask for a breakdown of the fees.

Don't include tax when comparing or negotiating prices. You want to look at MSRP + destination as your number.

Something in the neighborhood of 5-10% off that would be reasonable. Depends on dealer/location/ordering vs on lot/etc. This isn't a terribly hard to get car, don't let them convince you otherwise, and don't let them bully you with made up fees, inflated APRs.

And don't get the run flats!

Actually, I went shopping for a dealer to order my 2018 M240i I asked for the out the door price (car+taxes [VA tax is 4.25%], inspection+registration). I got a great deal at my dealer, BMW of Alexandria. The dealer included a tank of Shell 93 octane! I think it's better to ask the out the door price. You can ask for price breakdown.

100% this. A good discount would be 8%. Great is anything over 10%. The new model year doesn't have anything special over the '18, so there's no premium there.

A friend of mine from Ukraine recently transported his car to New York. His name is Andrey, he has been living in the USA for 15 years. He loves him wife, so I bought myself a new BMW. I don’t remember her brand and the company that he used. But he rummaged through a lot of information on the Internet about delivery. Found one article that helped him understand a lot about delivery. As a result, he already knew all the delivery information well; it was difficult to deceive the delivery agents. He says everything went well. What do you think about this? I’m glad if I was useful.

I am in the market for a 240i and after reading over some threads on the forum the consensus appears to be a discount of 5-10% on new vehicle purchases.

me to

I haven't found 5-10% off on any BMW in USA. Series two are either few on site and they are proud of them or if ordered they don't have much incentive.

I tried to find a 2-3 year old car it ain't that easy.

Keep this going your the only recent post on this thread.

Yeah I'm finding the same here in Canada it's tough finding something with the options you want on the used market. I was exploring the option of buying new but I think I have decided to keep looking used for a 240i but also take a look at the older 235i.

I paid $1500 below invoice, which came to about $4500 (8.5%) off the $53,120 MSRP of my M240i. That is the dealer discount.

BMW FS incentives in addition to the dealer discount were $3750. (3000 APR credit and 750 in loyalty credit.)

$47,400 out the door. This includes about 2500 in sales tax. The APR was 5.1%, which is absurdly high, but it is a non-issue for me since I'm going to pay it off very soon. Financed to avail the incentives only.

Mine is an order vehicle. Struck this deal and ordered in November, picked up the car in February.

Hope this information helps, happy shopping.

Seems like 7–10% off MSRP and the additional $3000 to go through BMW Financial Services is considered to be a good deal. But, I assume that dealerships will become increasingly hungry for business over the next few weeks. Anyone have thoughts on what new levels of good deals might be had: would 15–20% off MSRP be within the realm of possibility?

Unprecedented financial uncertainty, anything is possible.

Paid less than that for my 20'... M240iX loaded with all options except the wireless charger... Don't get the RF's, lol.

Unless you're desperate, just wait it out, and shop pricing (new). Vehicles depreciate even if they're sitting on the lot. If any mileage on it, then they've loaned it out and screw that! My opinion is if paying top $, no deal, then just order one new!

I got 10% + the $2,500 kickback from BMWFS. Got an additional $500 from BMWCCA! In addition, BMW Corp. made amends on totally screwing up my Welt Visit last Oktoberfest and I didn't get to take my car for Euro Delivery while there (for the experience). So it was even cheaper!

Again, I'd take it new, but if older, there's got to be a deal. Don't forget, once you drive it off the lot, it's still a 2 year old car that you paid the same as a new car!? Does that make sense? You'll instantly depreciate 2 years...

While it's true that we're in completely uncharted territory as far as the economy and vehicle sales go, and that there will be deals to be had, I wouldn't necessarily assume that you will see insane, once-in-a-lifetime pricing. I bought my 128i right as the previous recession was peaking, the incentives at that time were $1000 off any negotiated deal ($500 over invoice in my case) if you financed at 4.5%. Nowhere near as good as what was being offered just a few weeks ago, before the economy fell off a cliff.
