BMW Base Price and Metallic Paint Price Increase As of August 1, 2016
BIMMERPOST NEWS Base Price and Metallic Paint Price Increase As of August 1, 2016 BMW has announced a base and metallic price increase for many models, effective August 1, 2016. Pricing for M models remain unchanged. The list of affected models is as follows: As a result of the above mentioned price increases, the Maximum Residualizable MSRP has been increased from $49,100 to $49,400 for the 330i Sedan and from $51,100 to $51,400 for the 330i xDrive Sedan. There are no base price changes to the MY2017 M2, M3, M4, 5 Series GT, 6 Series, M6, 7 Series, X5, X5 M, X6, X6 M, i3, and i8. The option price for Metallic Paint will be increased effective August 1, 2016 from $550 to $700 on all MY2017 models. This includes: i3, 2 Series, M2, 3 Series, M3, 4 Series, M4, X1, X3, X4, 535i Gran Turismo, 535i xDrive Gran Turismo, X5 sDrive35i, X5 xDrive35i, X5 xDrive35d, X5 xDrive40e, X6 sDrive35i, and X6 xDrive35i. Price Protection BMW will price protect all bona-fide retail orders, with a confirmed production number, of the affected models that are produced on or after August 1, 2016 and delivered to customers by October 31, 2016. Please note that pricing is no longer assigned at the time of wholesale. Vehicle pricing is now assigned once the vehicle completes production, status 160. To ensure that these retail orders are protected, a Center must designate the vehicle in the ordering system as a sold vehicle, with a customer name by the close of business on July 31, 2016. Existing European Delivery orders with a confirmed delivery date will be honored if the vehicle is delivered and RDR’d by January 31, 2017. However, any new European Delivery orders accepted after July 31, 2016 will reflect the new pricing. |

So they are raising prices and reducing the scope of their maintenance and warranty? Hooray for upholding shareholder value!!

This is disappointing. I never did understand the value of metallic paint. I find it hard to believe it costs carmakers even a fraction of what they charge (in excess of normal paint).

Sorry folks, this has nothing to do with BMW... this is the dark side of Quantitative Easing.. when your dollars become more and more like toilet paper.

I love how BMW continually raises their prices, even though the USD->EUR conversion is shit, and they're cutting back on their offerings.
I left BMW last year. Never looked back. Bought a Z06 Vette and Ford Expedition. So happy I did. |

Hopefully, the extra difference in paint gets rid of the horrible orange peel.

I guess BMW is taking so much heat and crap because they are the only auto manufacturer to raise prices?

slow process for old habits to die. I recently replaced my M4 vert with a German sports car with a frunk. But I still read this and other Bmw forums, curious to see if I'm missing anything. Apparently missed a price increase 😎 |

For example, moderately loaded X3 2.8 is within a hair of the new base Macan. Will be interesting to see how it holds up against it in the next 6 months. While X5 3.0 is now priced similar to Cayenne. While no one will argue that BMW is a premium product, I think most will also agree that BMW, for a variety of objective and subjective reasons, does not have Porsche status and cache. One has to only look at relative resale value of respective models (3 year old X5 3.0 v. 3 yo Cayenne; similar mileage) for a confirmation of an objective reason. In the case of a reasonably spec'd M4 vert, pricing is at or above that of the new 718 Boxster S, and within a shouting distance of the new base Carrera. 😮 Buyers shopping in those price brackets are seeing the BMW pricing edge wither away faster than a recalled M differential 😉 Last edited by PawnStar; 08-12-2016 at 07:28 PM.. |

Honestly your comparison of a loaded BMW approaching a base Porsche is like asking me why I got a loaded 340i instead of a near base 528 because the 5 is more opulent. It's all about personal values.
