#1207 of 1384 Order '09 or wait for '10 by cablue Jul 10, 2009 (8:26 am)
Trying to decide whether to order now or not. Any other changes known for '10 other than iDrive update? Checked out new iDrive in 3 series. It didn't make a big impression on me, not enough to wait, since I'm already used to using the current iDrive. Also trying to decide on sport pkg. or not. I've always had it on my 5 series cars but not sure I need it for an X5 as I won't be driving it like my cars. Any thoughts on that? Looking to get the diesel. Thanks for any input.

Replying to: us_matrix (Jul 10, 2009 9:52 am) Most of the dealerships in Fairfield county, Connecticut should be around this price due to the $4500 discount off invoice, but it must be purchase before Aug 1. Presume this is because the 2010 X5 will start being produced in September.

Replying to: boykie (Jul 10, 2009 10:43 am) I was told by a few different BMW dealers that the 2009 X5 3.5d $4,500 incentive runs until August 31 and that I can order a car with the incentive until August 31.

Replying to: chinomonkey (Jul 10, 2009 11:53 am) No that is just for the car and destination fee - not including tax and registration. BMW of Bridgeport or Darien or Greenwich or Ridgefield.

Replying to: weso (Jul 10, 2009 11:44 am) The $4,500 incentive runs through August 31, but you have to take delivery by August 31. If you're going to order an X5 diesel, you should do it immediately to make sure that it is delivered by the end of August. Your dealer will know their available production dates/slots. It takes about 3 weeks for delivery once production begins and there's always the possibility of delays. So your vehicle would need to begin production by the end of the first week of August.

Replying to: cablue (Jul 10, 2009 8:26 am) I've been researching in every source that I can think of to learn whether more than iDrive will change in 2010. So far, I haven't found any other changes for the diesels. So I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to get a $64k X5 for $56k. The 2011 X5 should be the mid-model refresh that will bring an updated interior, exterior styling changes, new engine options, etc. BMW models run 7 years. The 4th year is the mid-model refresh. This X5 began production as a 2008 model, which means that the 2011 model will be the major refresh if they follow their usual production cycles. So I think it's safe to assume that 2010 won't bring significant changes to warrant passing on thousands of dollars in discounts and tax credits. This recession won't last forever and car makers will eventually want to make money again. Replies to this message: cablue (Jul 12, 2009 9:47 am)
#1216 of 1384 Does BMW keep the $1,800 Tax Credit for the X5 3.5d leases? by anon3 Jul 11, 2009 (6:36 pm)
The IRS says that consumers who lease an X5 3.5d qualify for the alternative fuel tax credit, but the IRS allows the option for the leasing company to claim the credit. BMWUSA.COM says that lessees don't qualify for the tax credit, so it looks like BMW Finance plans to keep the tax credit for themselves. Does anyone have any information on this? I plan to raise hell and cancel my order if they cheat me out of that tax credit.
