Yes good point re end of year haggle opportunity ... and given BMW seem to be bringing their MY releases further and further forward I suspect that they'll want to move 2011 models in prep for 2012 ordering by around April next year .. perhaps then I can take a look at 50i M-sport
Also - new (bigger ande better redesigned) X3 will be out by end of year/early next year I suspect - and I have no doubt that some prospective X5 buyers will be willing to step down a little to the new X3 to save $$ esp if they want to bulk-down in size a little ... esp if they put 35i engine in and good diesels ...so that pressure may help X5 buyers also at end of year .. and lets remember that whole new X5 model will be out in 2012/2013 ...all these factors may drive some good haggle moments ... cash rate projection of 6 % will also put pressure on dealers when discretionary spending starts to seriously slow mid 2011 ...
