the back end(dealer holdback) is probably about 6-7%. The sales guys usually make a commission on the amount over invoice. Plus they get the unit sold, which is added up at the end of the month. Plenty of money to be made....great truck.

I got $2,675.00 off the MSRP. X5 4.8 with no trade-in.

I'm tracking it in "BMW Owners' Circle" and it just went into production on Monday.

ALL OPTIONS except:
High Definition Radio (I have plenty of MP3s)
Sirius Radio (I have plenty of MP3s)
Seat Trim (I don't see a difference, can you?)
Heated Rear Seats (They can wear an extra coat. hahaha)
Auto Tail Gate (I want, but don't want to wait until April, hope can add later)

Dealer Holdback and Advertising Charges

Manufacturer Holdback Amount
BMW 2% of MSRP

This site, that has an excellent explanation about holdbacks, indicates it's 0% for BMW.

Regardless of the holdback if you are ordering a X5 the dealer saves on interest charges and some are willing pass the savings on. This added to a 9% profit margin leaves some room to negotiate.

So if I ordered my vehicle through the dealer, they saved money on that so I can use that as a bargaining tool?
