How much can I get off on this build
Hello guys I'm looking to become a BMW owner. I'm looking to get a 2021 M340i with all of bells and whistles. What I need help with is with the price. The MSRP is $66425 as build
https://www.bmwusa.com/build-your-ow...c02e49/summary What should be a reasonable OTD price for this car. Thank you, David |

National average is 10% off, with better offers on both coasts. Less than 10% off I wouldn't sign any papers.

10% off is definitely NOT the national average (and if somehow it is, I'd love to see the data behind that).
That being said, discounts are very much region dependent. Some areas it's easy to get 10% off MSRP, and in others it's nearly impossible. In your case, the 5% off shown is pretty low. So I would definitely aim for higher than that. If this dealership doesn't budge, you should involve multiple dealerships to get the best potential offer. My suggestion would be to peruse the price quotes thread to see if you can get a sense of what's possible in your market: https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1571094

Yeah I'm not totally discrediting what you're saying (even though that's maybe how it came off as), and 10% is absolutely a good goal to strive for. And I totally understand where you're coming from as well, since quite a few deals in the pricing thread here show the 10% off. Just suggesting that it's a bit more nuanced than saying "national average is 10%". You really need to research your specific market or risk talking to local dealers unprepared and being shut down (which will likely happen anyway if you talk to enough of them, but at least if you're prepared you'll know what is and isn't possible).

I'm currently going through a buy back with Ford on a 2020 Mustang GT Premium I bought back in April 2020. For the past 3 weeks my offer letter has been ready but I was trying to see if they can get me into a 2021 Mustang GT Premium but no dealer seems motivated to handle this deal. So I'm just waiting for some good numbers so I can order the M340i and give Ford back their car and then they can cut me my check. |

True National average is much less, in shooting in the dark here, maybe 5%. Many consumers think a few % or a few K off is a good deal... or just don't care enough to deal with the hassle and will take first offer. OP you should definitely target 10% plus any available incentives and be comfortable walking and shopping around if you don't get it on first ask. It can help if you don't have an existing relationship to say you checked online and you know people are getting that. If they want to move the car they will flex |

10% is the goal not the average. Maybe the average for a forum like this with a small percentage of BMW buyers. Most people are NOT getting that. Best I could do was 7% off and I'm in the Bay Area which has over 10 BMW dealers in a 50 mile radius. Problem is there wasn't much inventory anywhere due to Covid and I had ton order a car specked out like I wanted. It's rare you'll find anything on a dealer lot how you want it.

So....ordered it. No particular rush as I still have 2 other vehicles to get around in if I need to go anywhere, so I didn't have an issue with dealerships I just told them "here's my build code, order it whenever's best for you - if you want to save it in your back pocket as an ace in the hole to hit your target # of cars sold for a given month, that's fine." Got my production date a couple weeks later and it entered assembly today so I'm happy with the timeline. |

Got a slightly better deal on my M440 @ Steven’s Creek, but SF also matched it. I have contacts at both now if anyone in the Bay Area is looking.
