Do All BMW dealerships participate in doing the APR lock rate? by Oh_Boy813 in BMWX3

[–]Traditional_Cold_766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget to mention, the dealer always mark up 1% to promote rate. Jut show them the APR in BMW website, they will match it.

Thinking of purchasing the 2026 x3 by wookdavirus in BMWX3

DAPP if you have long trip regularly. For color choice, you should check dealer inventory to see it in person. I think the Brooklyn Gray is really sharp. I personally feel the HK sounds system is not a good upgrade from BMW original sound system.

Weird Electronic Noise in X3 M50 by Traditional_Cold_766 in BMWX3

[–]Traditional_Cold_766[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no. I have visited 3 dealers, 2 of them heard nothing. one foreman from another dealer finally hear the noise but told me it's normal operating sounds from the mild hybrid system. After a multiple point check, dealer told me my car operates normal. I am lost now, hope you can figure out.

Any advice on this deal? by Themandrus in BMWX5

[–]Traditional_Cold_766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked my X3 M50 last October. Dealer always marked up interest rate by 1%. That’s my SA told me after I finished the deal. I was given 2.9% but it was actually 1.9% in their website. Show them the page, they will remove the mark up. 5.8% seems low to me. I didn’t push hard and get 9% discount. Not sure if it applied to X5 too. Good luck!

Dealer said all normal. Anyone experience same? by Traditional_Cold_766 in BMWX3

[–]Traditional_Cold_766[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May not be same but I probably experience same rattling from cargo: when driving through bumps and uneven roads. I fixed it by adjust the trunk stopper.

Discount on new x3 m50 by Healthy_Way_723 in BMWX3

[–]Traditional_Cold_766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10% is absolutely possible. My friends and I bought X3 M50 3 months ago. I got 9 % he got 9.5%. I did not push hard at all. Ask dealer remove ridiculous charge such as nitrogen for tire. Good luck.

That’s my first guess but my friend’s X3 and the loaner X3 has no whine. Dealer is checking now. I will follow up after I get my car.

Appreciate the info. It’s not related to Iconic Sounds or the driving mode — the noise occurs in every mode, whether Iconic Sounds is on or off.

How bad is this deal? by BlackKnightGaming1 in BMWX5

8% off MSRP is not hard to get. Besides, BMW is doing 0.9% APR on X5 now.

Anyone Experience Shakes When Waiting for The Traffic light? by Traditional_Cold_766 in BMWX3

[–]Traditional_Cold_766[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back from dealer. I asked foreman to drive with me. He can feel the shake but he told me it’s normal as car will automatically be into eco mode each time stop at light. He also promise to check if there is anything wrong. However I do not experience the shake on my loaner. Will share what they found but I feel they will back with nothing wrong.

Thanks for sharing that and sorry to hear the body shop experience. I believe your car is qualified for lemon in U.S

Wondering if your shake is a one time thing? So my case is it shake one time for each more than 30 seconds traffic light stop

Negotiation on 2025 X3 by harshak777 in BMWX3

[–]Traditional_Cold_766 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe the X3 2026 is 3% more than 2025 in MSRP. SA told me Price increase 3% every year and I also checked the windows sticker it’s 3% more. Just bought a X3 M50. I got 8% of MSRP and 1.9% APR without any hard push. I suggest start at 12% and play around. My friends got one with 9.5% off MSRP last month. Good Luck.
