Incentives sell cars. Early 2017 lacked strong/any incentives. BMW is starting this year off with $3000-4000 incentives plus $750-$1500 loyalty.

This is likely a sign of positive sales in the future. With the X3 being a massive hit, 5er's getting into and out of showrooms, it can only get better this year and next when the X2 inventory increases, BMW releases the new 3er, X4 and X5.

Are the incentives for the X?

I haven't looked too hard lately.

Last month, there was a $1500 loyalty offer on the X3, only $750 on the 3 and 4 series. Seems like they are trying to push the X3 now, which is good for me as my lease is up in a few months and I'd rather get a new X3 than another F30, only to want the G20 in a few months.

did that loyalty carry over to this month...I am seriously considering an X3 M40i order...guessing there are no other incentives though...like the 3k credit on the 3s.

Also curious on the breakdown of M to non-M...i see a ton of M2s sitting around now. Which is very tempting.

How does this compare to 2016 when we still had free maintenance to 50k miles with wear and tear coverage? Incentives are a nice thing of course.

The preowned and certified preowned should see a bump in the US and Canada as people receive their refunds.

Other than that very strong sales thus far.

2015 was a record year and then 2016 was the banner year. 2017 was down compared to 2016. This far 2018 is up over 2017 but not as high as 2016 or the headline would read " best ever " ..

Yep. 100%. BMW's no incentives strategy failed and the company rightfully saw the failure and adjusted accordingly.

Wonder what a US/EU trade war will do for sales. See EU is going to retaliate to Trump's tariff on steel with its own tariffs on a number of US products

Will Trump then go all out for a trade war and say put tariffs on EU made cars/ parts. There will be no winners

Could get nasty

The EU buys about seventeen US made cars a year. I don't think they have anything to put tariffs on. We don't make stuff here besides oil, gas and hot air. Oh, and airplanes, he's already pissed off that industry though.
