X5actor 4th Gear March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 Has anyone bought an sdrive18i recently from PML (or been to the showroom to negotiate)? Looking to buy one and just wondering what sort of price and freebies you managed to get. Thanks in advance! List price is $163,888. Was offered a 5K discount. I did not negotiate further, so no idea if freebies will be given or must beg for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 (edited) X1 now only give $5K discount? that's humiliating ... i think LCI (facelift) should be coming in 2019? List price is $163,888. Was offered a 5K discount. I did not negotiate further, so no idea if freebies will be given or must beg for.

X5actor 4th Gear March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 X1 now only $5K discount? that's humiliating ... That's what SE offered me almost immediately when we met. I think there should be room for negotiation if I expressed interest. But I wasn't very keen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmfanboy Neutral Newbie March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 Just a username la haha. Thanks for the information x5actor. Looking forward to more information from other people! That's what SE offered me almost immediately when we met. I think there should be room for negotiation if I expressed interest. But I wasn't very keen. First time buyer so not sure what sort of discount i can get following negotiation. Wondering if $8k is considered good or if i should aim for $10k... any help will be appreciated thks.

X5actor 4th Gear March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 I think 8-10K discount seems quite reasonable to give it a try. The SE will use their usual tactics to sales-talk you anyway. I did ask if the package comes with the in-car cams; SE replied that if there's "interest", he could do "something about it". So I interpret it as it did not come with the in-car cams, but he could throw them in for free if I buy the car. Means, if you ask for say a 10K discount, SE may say then he'll not give any freebies at all. I'm just guessing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 (edited) $10K discount is possible depends on your loan quantum i would rather give up service credits too ... for a new car ... not much servicing required every 15k standard oil servicing and big ticket item service only arrive at 80k-100k and probably cost $1k-$2k nia more credits mean you are encourage to service this and that and use their service for the sake of utilising the credits First time buyer so not sure what sort of discount i can get following negotiation. Wondering if $8k is considered good or if i should aim for $10k... any help will be appreciated thks. Edited March 13, 2018 by Wt_know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inlinefour Twincharged March 14, 2018 Share March 14, 2018 But it's still not a bad drive right? Maybe it's time you go down for serious negotiations? The X1 sDrive20i left the display car :) New stock only the sDrive18i or X2 sDrive20i :p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
X5actor 4th Gear March 14, 2018 Share March 14, 2018 The X1 sDrive20i left the display car :) New stock only the sDrive18i or X2 sDrive20i :p Yes correct. But the SE told me he can order the 20i if I want, and have to wait like 2-3 months. I wonder if it’s the 20i that’s more popular than the 18i that it ran out of stock or the other way around?

I wonder if itâs the 20i thatâs more popular than the 18i that it ran out of stock or the other way around?Most pple in SG just want the same badge/body at the lowest price. So pml tends to bring in much fewer higher spec cars per shipment. If you are looking for the 20i, you might want to check out the new volvo xc40. Similar price range, but more powerful and 4wd.

I kinda' like the spaciousness of the cabin in the X1. Will probably go test-drive the XC40 if I can make time:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably use the 'rule-out' method to narrow down my choice. But it seems for me, Mercedes Benz seems to be more favorable. Tough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can feel it after driving the E 200 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
