    Hi @GlossGuy, Am I correct to say your local BMW dealer agreed to 15% off options in addition to £500 cashback? My local dealer isn’t budging on discounts for options so trying to find a dealer that will offer something – 15% would be nice! Perhaps you local dealer would like some more business?

    Yes, that’s correct, but that was back in March 2021. When I tested (and discounted) the new iX1 and X1 last summer my contact said that cashback offers were no longer an option as the market was so challenging now (I didn’t discount them for that reason BTW). I’m not 100% sure, but I think they said the 15% off optional extras was now off the table as well (although I strongly suspect that some discount there is still possible). I’d stick with your local dealer, but do establish whether or not they have any immediately available build slot allocations before you place your order. If you don’t ask they won’t tell you, and it can make a difference of 3 or 4 months on your lead time. We got our X1 in 3 months when others on this forum at the time were waiting 6-8 months.
