2008 X5
 

First, what a wonderful forum. Absolutely the latest and greatest here and I really appreciate you fellows who put the ordering guide on line.

My questions are- why so little so late? Does anyone have any insight into why BMW could not update their website with 2008 information- it's October 3rd and we all know we can't order a 2007!!

I would also really like to know about the saddle interior- we cancelled a 2007 order when the tobacco in Napa wasn't available. At the time I placed a complaint with BMW to no avail.

We have a 2001 4.4 and love the car- and we intend to order a new one- but at this rate and given last year's experiences I'm thinking of looking at others. I don't think it's too much to have an accurate brochure and prices by this time of year- and I won't order a $70K car until I'm absolutely sure of what I'm buying.

Why is BMW making a 2008 so hard to buy?

Any insight is appreciated!!

:xoutpost: Simple IMO, they want/need to clear out all of their 2007 inventory, especially given the price decline.

:iagree: Yup, it was only $900 for the 4.8i. But usually we're celebrating when they just "Hold the line" on pricing...

It allows them to 'put off' the inevitable price decrease that will occur within the next 12 months. And I think it keeps a healthy aftermarket for the enthusiast - a BMW trait since the beginning.
