On the two cars we’ve bought using a broker, no. When we ordered my wife’s X3 in December of 2022, we got 10% of MSRP. We reached out to a few dealers, including the one where she got her previous X1 and we take our cars for service. We have a good relationship with them, so figured they might. They basically told us there was no way we were getting that much off and that the broker was lying to us.
A few weeks later, I was at the same dealer getting service on my M340i. Happened to run into the sales guy and he asked how it panned out. I told him exactly how I said. They gave us 10% off. He was still baffled as to how.
When I ordered my Z4, same dealer had one sitting in their showroom. Had been there at least 5 months. Was January 2023 (so dead of winter in Chicago) and was a 2022 model. I told him I had an offer to order a 2023 for 3.5% off MSRP. Asked if they could beat it on the one sitting there. Couldn’t beat that offer either.
