I bought my X5 35d at the end of May and was able to wrangle $7,600 off MSRP ($67k) and 2.9% 60/month financing BEFORE this current offering of $4,500 from BMW.
I suspect the dealer would have balked at giving me ANY of the $4,500 incentive; even though it would have been BMW money and not dealer money. So, if BMW dealerships only take $4,500 off current MSRP, does that mean someone would actually be paying sticker (as far as the dealer is concerned)?? Wouldn't that be nice for the stealership??

Speaking of incentives...
Has anyone received the BMW CCA Membership Reward ($1,000) for their new 2009 X5 35d? Funf Dreisig

I've read several posts by folks who got quite a bit off MSRP on various X5s. I'm assuming these were vehicles on the dealers lot. And the dealer had some incentive to move the vehicle, etc. Has anyone gotten a really good deal on an X5 that was built-to-order?

Sort of OT...
I think more diesel sales could be attained here in the US, but the car marketeers need to adjust their sights and offerings, imo. -stop jacking up the price 10%+ for the diesel engine -quit offering only twin turbo/cranked diesel engines and hoping to cover/get the "diesel premium" -some of us don't need pumped acceleration -stop tossing in high margin "packages" with the diesel engine. -expand the "diesel option" in more models... No expert on Europa, but having been there several dozen times and having driven many of the diesels there, all the mfg'rs offer basic - to ripped diesels, in several configurations across a broader model line. I realize diesel is It in Europa, and thus, the better selection, manual gearboxes, et al, are the standard offering. Here in the US, diesels are now couched as turbo'd, "fast", stuffed in the upper model lines, (as in high gross margin loaded models), and are treated as select/rare/lotto wins for the poor customer that ponys up for them, etc. In the changing scene from the hybrid/econ box/$4 a gal frenzy last year, the diesel, at least for BMW & imo, has become a luxo selection for the upper middle first adopters and "eco-friendly" show offs. An example of short sight is the lack of the diesel in the new X1, for the US. And, many consumers still remember last summer when diesel was 20-30% higher priced than gasoline, the local station didn't have any, and coupled with the sea change of driving habits: JoeUpperMiddle is not running out to buy a $60-80G car that he is not going to drive 300k miles, like the truckers. If I was really shopping for a diesel now, I would look hard at the VW Jetta...BMW is couching their diesels in the hard to get/limited model niche, and acting like they are doing the US customer a freakin favor. That's my current 50Cts on it, from the back row of the Peanut Gallery.
