You’re entitled to current promo.johnnyboy5 wrote: ↑ Hi All. Quick question on BMW X promotion. I ordered my X3 M40i in March and I'm picking it up next week . It's a 45 month lease. Am I entitled to the benefit of current promotions as of the day I sign for and pick up my new vehicle, even if those promotions weren't on when I ordered my car? New to BMW so not sure the way that works. Thanks.

Excellent, thx. Do you know what the current promo is on the X3 M40i? There is nothing on the BMW.ca website.

Should be $750. Check the GTA BMW site for details.johnnyboy5 wrote: ↑ Excellent, thx. Do you know what the current promo is on the X3 M40i? There is nothing on the BMW.ca website.

Just before the xDrive promo started I got a free report from Car Cost Canada before the xDrive promotion started and it mentioned a $1,000 manufacturer credit called "BMW Delivery Credit (Finance & Lease) - Request the details from your dealer." - does anyone know if this is separate from the $750 xDrive credit (and stackable), or whether the $750 replaced it?
There was also one called "Alternate Cash Back" for $1,000 but that probably only applies to cash purchase?

when electrical starts to act "funny", there could be hundreds of reasons. I would think as the battery starts to age, esp. bmw battery is known for not lasting long (5 yrs at most) , it could be an early sign that it is not providing the optimal electrical power/voltage and hence the computer then not engaging the ASS.marktang wrote: ↑ @booblehead do you know what the battery voltage needs to be in order for the start/stop function to work on a mini cooper. i think my one stopped working after a hardwire a dash cam with parking mode a few weeks ago. thanks man.

Oh ok but my car is almost a yr old. So I don't think the battery is aging that fast. Maybe I will drive it more and see. Going to the dealer in June anyways so I'll ask them to check.

My dealer just told me that the X drive $750 promotion only applies to in stock vehicles and not to ordered ones? I see nothing in the fine print on this. Does anyone know if this is true? Thx. Edit: I now see in the fine print that he is correct on this point. However, there also seems to be a $1000 delivery credit on the M40i that is not specifically limited to in stock vehicles. Am I reading this correctly?

I received conflicting info on this as well. One dealer said in stock only, and the other said it simply applied to any deal struck during the promo period, including those that are ordered.johnnyboy5 wrote: ↑ My dealer just told me that the X drive $750 promotion only applies to in stock vehicles and not to ordered ones?

the current month promo should be applicable to all cars when it is delivered and registered, no matter they are special ordered or in stock. Dealer is not really doing any special favor to you in which you are really entitled to in the first place. If your dealer is telling you story that you don't qualify, then that $1000 will go straight to the dealer's pocket.

Thx and I agree. Its also pretty clear to me that they never would have applied the credit if I didn't specifically ask for it. So thx to you and the others on this site for just saving me $1,000 - much appreciated.

@booblehead In some of your post I read that you are not so fan of Lease Guard protection, debating if I should add or if it is worth it. Also, is the cost negotiation? Need to finalize today!

personally, I am not a fan of paying more $ ... esp. in this case $1400 + taxes for wear & tear protection. I suppose you can use the bulk of this plan by having the car returned with bald tires. But then, you have to ask yourself the question of whether you will feel safe for driving the bald tires in the first place as you are trying to stretch out of not replacing the tires to the end of term. Those runflats will typically last about 40,000 - 50,000km range, if driven year round.
It is matter of how you see the values of this kind of protection plan. Everyone will have different views on them.

btw, it would be rare for dealer to give discount on this kind of protection plan nowadays, unlike say 4-5 years ago. If you do want to get it, then give it your best try and ask for 10% off ... still better than nothing.
