However, if the pipeline is filling up then one way to move the vehicles without significantly discouting purchase price is to bump up the residuals. It's pretty well known the BMWFS provides "support" for some models above what they will actually be worth after x years, often leading to BMW being considered a more advantageous lease when compared to others (say Audi for example). BMWFS can write off the "loss" on the residual and they've moved inventory without dealers offering large discounts on the vehicles. Of course that's just one of many options... I'll be leasing, so I can hope right?! |

Another thing I might add is that I don't really see them advertising the car.
You see the new 3 series ads everywhere but I never seen a M5 ads. Pretty much the only place you can see the M5 are magazines and their website.

This occurrence isn't isolated to the M5. 3 German luxury marques are experiencing this overload of inventory. Europe's economy is basically sinking deeper and deeper into the recession and as a result automakers are left with a surplus of inventory. As a solution the bosses decided to ship these cars to the U.S. for any chance of being sold. To satisfy shareholders these cars shipped to the U.S. are marked as sold, although they just sit on dealer lots. Though we are suffering economic hardship, Europe is f'in terrible.

I don't like to raise too high a profile on this issue or to talk publicly about money, but I'm blown away by the smokin' deals that are available on M5s right now. If you're thinking about it, there appears to be a lot of incentive to move inventory before the end of the month.

The price is super high for a 5 series. Hood is even the same.

re
I just picked up my new 2013 m5 and it was a great decision. The dealer had three in stock and i had been scratching my head for months. Should i wait for the lci...????dont wait. Jermey clarkson once said about the e60" I dont care what you got, this is better , faster than anything else." Thats what i think of the f10 m5. Its so good in every way--there will always be something better and bmw will always add something but dont wait. I cant imagine big changes.
