I've had more new BMW's than you have fingers AND toes, and I can afford anything at all I want to buy.
Timing with these deals is everything. You need to be patient. You can't be the first person on your block with the newest, latest, greatest.
I just turned in a 2017 M3 off lease. That car had an msrp of 82K. My monthly lease, no money down, was $691.
Wait until the money factor is close to zero. Wait until the rebates are plentiful. Make sure you qualify for as many of them as possible. Take advantage of multiple security deposits. Develop a long term relationship with a solid dealership. Send them business. Be loyal. Wait until it is year end, month end, presidents day, the 4th of July. Dealers get givebacks from corporate for numbers of cars sold. If your car puts them over the next threshold.... they will give it away to make an extra 500 bucks on each of the other 150 cars they sold that month.
Trust me, BMW (corporate) knows who their long term customers are and they take care of them. Do you have a personal client adviser that has known you and helped you for years in New Jersey (USA headquarters)?
Have you been invited to their M driving school in South Carolina? Have you been invited to tour the plant there?
You have no loyalty. You bounce around. Dealer to dealer. They see guys like you coming. Dealers only have so many real 'deals". They are saved for customers. You are a fish. No deals for guys fishing. Today a BMW, tomorrow a Lexus. You save money on your cars by sitting on plastic. The plastic seats are great until it gets hot in the summer and you sweat through your underwear.
Laugh jackass, and pay through the nose for the car you drive.
