2020 M5C or 2021 LCI

FJ80 · 02-07-2020, 06:04 AM

Hi all - close to a deal on a 2020. Any reason to not just wait until later this year for the LCI updates to happen? Seems like there will be some cosmetic refinements but is it worth it vs locking a deal now?

Ballpark discount all in is ~12.5% that I'm getting on the 2020. Functionally, I can wait as I have other cars to use at home but like many of us, I just "want" it now, ha!

No one knows what the lci will bring just yet. Only you can answer the question you posed, but I'll tell you what I would do...go find a used 2018-2019 that has depreciated, buy it, order 2021 when the time comes, when it arrives trade the 2018 for the 2021, or sell to private party. This way you dont wait, and you also dont miss out on the lci updates, whatever they may be.

Or assume a lease from someone looking to get out .. some good transfer deals out there. You can find a lease that gets you to the LCI.

LCI, you waited this long, might as well have the latest (and greatest)

1. You may not like the cosmetic changes, the trend is not promising.
2. That's a decent deal on a 2020.

I chose to move forward now. Historically, a 5 Series LCI isn't a game changer.

Of course, this my Opinion.

BwoodBMW · 02-10-2020, 09:30 PM

Are you leasing or buying? I'd wait either way personally but more meaningful decision if buying.

FJ80 · 02-12-2020, 06:18 AM

Thx guys, picked it up this weekend and ended up leasing.

Fecklar · 02-17-2020, 05:17 PM

Just ordered my first M5Comp. Delivery 2/28/20. Hope its as good as I have heard. Loved the test drive. Made the salesman wet his pants

Greer · 02-17-2020, 06:41 PM

Where are the pics of the new M5?

THIS x 100

The design concept leaks of upcoming models have been hideous. I would get in while the getting is still good. If the new concept 4 series is any indication of what is to come, my 2020 M5 might be the last BMW I ever purchase.

Congrats on the new ride. Let's see some pics!

I got a brand new 2019 M5 the last of January for a nice deal! Didn't want the rougher/harsher (albeit tighter on a track) ride of the Competition. Also, could care less what the LCI will bring as the current models are bad@ss. So congratulations mate!
