Thinking about ordering a white x6...

[flz9636]

I was thinking about ordering a white x6 5.0

I want to ask you guys if i could negotiate with the dealer with the x6 on custom order. Some people said that i don't have a good chance of negotiating with the dealer because it a custom order car, it not in the showroom. Is that true?

Even on a custom order you can negotiate the price!

Unless it's a pre-configured car that the dealership has sitting in the lot (which was a custom build car for the dealership), then your car would automatically be a custom order.

+1
xdrive is correct, if you check this forum (lot of reading) you will find some folks were able to negotiate, some on price others on options. Some parts of the country (USA) dealers have waiting list and not as inclined to negotiate. But car dealers are in the business of selling cars, so go for it.

flz,
you from texas?? its harder to negotiate with a custom order because the dealers want to push the cars that they have on the lot so they can make their money back/profit... unless they have no 50i's sitting at the dealership, which is the case at most dallas area dealerships. I'm ordering mine through a friend from a different state and his reason for giving me a good deal on it is that im taking one off their quota that they have to hit every year... what specs you looking at for the order?

[Nezo86]

ohh yeah and welcome to the forum!

Nezo makes a good point, 50i's harder to find sitting on the lot.
Was going to do a search on google maps for Richardson, wondered where it is.
Some day Texas is a country i will have to visit.

haha yeah it's different for sure... i thought Texas cuz there is a Richardson that borders Dallas... but it's just a guess... as far as oredring goes im ordering mine through New Jersey, cars there are selling alot less then here in the Dallas area... and with the savings I'm planning on getting Dinan mods!!!

Thank everyone for the quick reply. Yup, I'm in Texas. As for my build:

X6 xDrive50i
Twin-turbo direct injection V-8
xDrive, intelligent all-wheel-drive
Base MSRP
Alpine White
Sand Beige Nevada Leather
Ash grain wood trim
Cold Weather Package
Premium Package
Premium Sound Package
Rear Climate Package
Sport Package

Destination & Handling:

I heard that the running board is making everyone's pant dirty.

They found a 50i in the dealer's lot but it doesn't have the sport package. Is sport package is really necessary?

yeah you want the sport package because of the adaptive drive... and do you really need the cold weather package here in Texas??? What dealership are you looking at?

Nice configuration!

I think you should get the sport package. Best thing to do would be to go to your dealership and drive the same car with and without the sport package and see what you like best!

Sometimes I wonder who at these dealerships decides what options to order for a particular car when they put them onto their lots!?!

+1 seems like they dont know what they are doing when they order these things... adaptive drive is a must on these beasts

Thank Xdrive, your info help me out alot.

[flz9636]

Should i negotiate the price with them before the car is built or after they have everything done?

before...

[flz9636]

no problem bro! But I guess I should have given a reason to justify my answer huh? My thinking is that you have to negotiate before you place your order because you have to put down a deposit that is not refundable and if you don't know how much it is exactly costing you, you might not want to commit....

flz9636, have you looked at Moritz in Arlington? They have one online that might fit your bill.

Yup, the x6 have mostly every I need but that one have a white leather interior. I am looking for a sand beige, the white leather will get dirty very quickly with jeans I mostly wear.

Try BMW Austin, you will get a good deal there.

If you are worried about the leather getting dirty, I am afraid you will have the same problem with beige.. The only option would be to take something dark like chateau or black.. I have had grey on my first e60 - it was a PITA to keep clean...

Classic in Plano has several 50i in stock right now. I was able to get $2000 off my first one and my second one at invoice but that is because BMW NA bought back my first one. Both were special orders. The first one was originally ordered and they were only going to give me $500 off. While waiting for my order, I found another local dealer willing to give me $1500 off and went back to them and told them they either needed to give me $2k off or I was canceling my order and buying from other dealer and they made the deal. Good luck
