Vague post? I asked a clear question.

There have been numerous posts here discussing the current discounts, or lack of. My post was a question of how likely I am to get a better deal from that dealer or would I be better off trying to get bigger discount on the 2021s.

If you have some insight, feel free to share it with me.
Ok. Here you go.


Your out the door could be xxx. My out the door could be "xxx"plus 3200.

Why. Because I live in Chicago and pay like 10% tax.
Maybe you have a trade and there is no tax.

Local dealers now have a 300 doc fee. Last December it was 183.

Others states have like a 90 doc fee.

Gwinnett place gives you like 10% off but then charges a 900 doc fee and marks up money factor .

The doc fee is universally understood to be pure profit.


Long rant for ... I don't want to go to bmw website and build your car to get msrp. Metallic paint ? Sounds like a no.

What is your local tax rate ? Who knows.

I don't want to guess in the doc fee you are getting charged.


Therefore the best way to compare deals is

Msrp
Discount off msrp
Doc fee

Then I could compare my local Chicago deal with a few from someone in Idaho or Montana.


What about plates / title? Those vary from state to state .



Hope this helps frame why I say your post is vague.



Not a jab at you , just trying to help. Seriously
