Based on the latest info I had, the 50i has the same residual as the M50i and if I'm not mistaken, even the 40i.
The RV is higher for this month though on the MY19 vehicles. In reality, this makes no sense at all but shows you that the RV and MF are often used as a tool to promote certain sales - in this case, getting rid of vehicles from the former MY.
So unless they are trying to sell you a MY19 50i from their lot/inventory, the RV should be identical.
In addition to that, don't fall for their 'oh, the M50i is a special model and order allocations are limited and that's why we can't provide the same discount'-BS. Many years ago, a local dealer tried to pull that off on me when I was in the market for a 760Li. Guess who did NOT get my business back then... 
If a dealer has an allocation for an X7, it makes no difference at all if you order a 40i, 50i or M50i. In fact, the more expensive your order gets, the higher your discount should be.
I would even go that far and argue that a dealer makes a higher profit on a $125K X7 M50i at a 10% discount compared to a 7% discount on a $75K X7 40i.... |
I'm putting an order in on a 2020 so I don't get it either. I haven't finalized my build yet just secured allocation. I don't get why he would tell me that if it wasn't true.....
