Cash for clunkers won't work on the X5; must have a retail value of less than $45K USD. Also, the $4500 credit is in lieu of the trade in value that the dealer would pay you for your car - so unless the value of your trade is less than $4500 it doesn't make sense. Neat idea, but I don't see this program applying for very many people.

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?

Thanks. The BMW CCA site has conflicting info on whether the 2009 X5 35d is included in the rebate program.

An incentive of $4,500 off and a $1,000 BMW CCA rebate could take the sting out paying nearly "list" for a build-to-order 2009 X5 35d

It depends where the money is coming from. If it is coming direct from BMWNA and the dealer wanted to move the car and you had done your research at the time, I'm sure you would have gotten the extra cash off. Timing and knowing what incentives are available = best deal possible.
