If you have to go new, I'd pull the trigger on that deal.

No doubt the used car market is adjusting fairly significantly, although we are not seeing it at the retail level yet.

And while new car inventories are improving VERY slowly, I don't expect BMW to ramp volume up even if they can. The past two years have taught them a lot in terms of fewer incentives and higher margins if they keep inventories lower.

Also, I'd expect a mid year price increase thanks to the printing presses in DC and around the globe. Also, if you end up slipping to a 2024 model, there will be another solid price increase between model years.

So, in a couple of years, unless you put high miles on a car, from a resale perspective a 2023 will be a 2023, whether you bought it in Oct '22 or or June '23.

Take the deal, enjoy the car for several months for not much more money.
