Dealer demo questions
I was looking for a 2019 X7 50i M Sport, but was coming up short with the options I wanted. Getting ready to order an M50i and then came across a fully loaded 2019 50i M Sport dealer demo with 3k miles today. I’ve never leased a demo before so wondering if anyone has advice in general and specifically, how does the standard warranty work? I’m assuming since it’s a dealer demo, the clock/mileage will start ticking when I drive it off the lot?

The reason I wouldn't is because they never get the proper "Break In" period. The manual says never exceed 4500 RPM or punch the throttle to full kick down for the first 1200 miles. No car being used as a demo or loaner gets a break in period. What's one of the first things you do when you test drive a vehicle? Take it out on the freeway and punch the throttle to the floor to see how fast it will go and how much power it has. Now multiply that by the number of people who test drove the car or drove it as a service loaner. I'll let other's chime in here. But for me? No way am I spending that kind of money for a vehicle that's been through the wringer before it's even been properly broken in. Just my 2 pennies worth... |

My X5 was a demo. I didn't get into all the details with the SA because I was about to trade the car but I took it in for service at 38,000 miles (it had 2,500 when I got it). They said they forced through the service on the normal plan in good will toward me, but it would have stopped at 36,000 normally. I had the care+ package, so I got them to do brakes and wipers while they were at it since they were saying there were 3k to go. I told them I was surprised they had to force it and I believe they said it's only the warranty that was extended for a demo (almost certain they said a flat extra 5k miles).

I don't believe you will get a rebate from BMW CCA w/a demo that has greater than 1k miles on it (at time of purchase). I was not able to get one on my 2019 X7 40i. Mine had 3k miles on it at time of purchase and BMW CCA declined my rebate request.

Also, FWIW, both executive demos I ended up going with previously were about 15% off MSRP. I also didn't have any issues with them other than a couple of rock chips that I would've put there at some point myself.

I leased it and it was a great experience. The original warranty applied but I got them to throw in an extended warranty for peace of mind in case I went over the mileage limit. I didn't, and the car was perfect, no worries at all. So long as you're leasing it, and not buying it, I'd say go for it. |
