All,
Any place holder to follow a 'Check list' while picking up 2025 X7 xDrive40i ? I found this post but it is more around X5 and about 4 years old. https://g07.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1736267 I am planning to pick up my 2025 X7 on this Friday and help is highly appreciated. |

Delivery checklist? For BMW? I have a (comprehensive) delivery checklist printed along with panel gap measure stick and paint thickness gauge to take with me for Telsa delivery inspection day. But for BMW? Seriously? Isn't BMW PDI fairly comprehensive enough? |

I also would validate DAP is functioning before you leave by going to map and suggestions and make sure highways with hands free are listed. |

To those that have submitted a custom build order, what sort of "deposit" (if at all) refundable? non-refundable? that the dealer asked for?
I know that BMW does not ask for this deposit, so it's from dealer that require this (refundable or non-refundable) deposit to go with the custom order submission. EDIT: this is kinda dumb question, since i'm not playing game with dealer to buy the car as committed buyer, so who cares what the deposit $ is, and usually the production to delivery should be around 4-5 weeks including transportation, in my case from port in SC to dealer in Raleigh, NC.

As we come to end of another week, start of new month, sharing what i was able to dig up from the local dealers in my Raleigh, NC area. Not too surprising, fairly competitive from what i see others are getting on 2025 MY X7 xDrive40i custom order. None on the lot matched my config so what's left is to do a custom build order.
MSRP $106,675 (Hendrick BMW in Durham, NC, aka. BMW of Southpoint <<----------- worst % discount, they must have really high operating cost/overheads, and on top of that in year 2024, makes you pay for N2 in tires, lol) a) Leith BMW in Raleigh, NC - 7.5% plus $500 loyalty discount, BMW FS 4.99% 48 mos term, $2,000 deposit b) Valley World BMW in Fayetteville, NC - 8% plus $500 loyalty discount, BMW FS 4.99% 48 mos term, $5,000 deposit Initially planned for PCD, but i'm cheap without the complementary overnight stay in Greer, SC. So transport the car. Afterall i'm paying for the destination charge. Then thanks to, c) Dan at Next Level Auto Brokers - best % discount that beats (a) and (b) above ! |

I must be doing something wrong. I can't get past even 4% off MSRP on a MY24 that's ON THE LOT. Mountain/west dealerships. High-ish spec 40i...but still. Driving me nuts.

That's crazy-talk. I'll need to stay patient and vigilant. I'm clearly in hostile-pricing territory out here. LOL. Anyone out west on the same struggle bus with me?

Thanks! Nothing wrong with the Bay area. Little pit stop into Napa. Just load up the back with a few bottles, and come back home. Easy enough.

Don't believe any car dealer. Get at least 5 different offers from different branches, including outside the region. BMW dealers located in small towns or far from the cities provides the best discount rates.

I would still get their written quote over email and hit your local dealer with it first. Nothing wrong with a road trip, but you have to factor in tax difference, wear and tear, and so on. For instance, I would always want to PPF a new car before I take it on a long trip. Good luck!

Not my experience at all with a special order. Bigger dealers tend to get a lot more allocations, so they are incentivized to move them quickly. I’ve gotten dozens of quotes, and even Autonation dealers in the same area varied greatly in their pricing, ADMs, and willingness to negotiate.

This is insane. Again, custom order of 2025 X7 xDrive40i, MSRP $107,975, up by $1,300 since decided to throw in the 22" 913M rims. About ~1 hour away from the Raleigh, NC, got 8.5% plus $500 loyalty discount, 0 dealer addon. Their doc fee is bit higher than the Raleigh dealers, by about ~$200. I regret not starting at 9%. So, this got me thinking. What the hell is the markup invoice on these X7's anyway? Are we getting screwed by dealers even at say 9% discount? This is crazy! How high can the discount go? 10%? 15%? 20%? |
