For someone who might be thinking about ordering a BMW, and the price would be on the edge of their budget, I would not order. Instead, shop something cheaper or unlikely to increase in price between now and arrival.
I agree. I wanted a new ICE vehicle for distance travel so I traded a Ford Edge for a deeply discounted 2025 Lincoln Aviator yesterday. Not the car of my dreams but drives good, is well equipped and moderately priced…didn’t want to spend an extra $30,000 to acquire an X7 with similar equipment…though the X7 is nicer. I figure discounts will quickly evaporate in the next 30 days.
