New Packages in 2011

Expansion of “Value Packages” for 1 and 3 Series Models

In 2009, BMW introduced a “Value Package” – a $0.00 (No Charge) option that included leather upholstery and the integrated iPod adapter on the 5 Series and 328i/xi Sedans.  As expected, the Value Package proved to be very popular, and as such, the concept is being extended to additional models.  The $0.00 Value Package again includes leather upholstery and the iPod adapter as its key components but may also include several additional options, depending on the model.
(Journalist note: Details are listed in Appendix i)

New “Convenience Package” Available for 1 and 3 Series

The price increase comes as no surprise to us and it is most likely related to the economic downturn we have been facing every since the beginning of the year.

In addition to BMW’s interpretation of two-mode hybrid technology, mated to the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 the price includes a number of standard features which are optional on the X6 xDrive50i. These include a unique 7-speed automatic transmission, Extended Nappa leather (including the dashboard and center console), 20-inch Aero Wheels with mixed-sized performance tires, Rearview camera with Top View and Head-up display.

The full list of additional standard features is included below.  In addition to the very extensive list of standard equipment, there are a handful of options to tailor the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 to individual tastes.  These are also listed below.

The X6 Hybrid is powered by an unique two-mode system, a combination of a V8 petrol engine and an electric drive. The base V8 twin-turbo engine produces 407 horsepower and the two electric motors output 91 hp and 86 hp, respectively, with peak torque values of 192 lb-ft and 206 lb-ft. Top speed in the electric mode is 37 mph, maximum range is 1.6 miles.

The maximum power available for the X6 Hybrid is rated at 480 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque. The X6 Hybrid uses a 7-Speed automatic transmission and several EfficientDynamics technologies.

ActiveHybrid X6 runs from 0 to 60 mph in only 5.4 seconds and has a 20% efficiency increase over a comparable vehicle powered by a combustion engine alone.

The “fasted hybrid in the world” as many publications have named it, the X6 Hybrid, also comes with a premium price.. The top model xDrive50i sells in Germany for 76,100 euros, nearly 30,000 euros less than the hybrid model.

We expect the U.S. pricing to be lower, but could this price be a deal breaker in the European market?

Some of the big changes in the MY2010 models are related to the entry level 3 Series in the U.S.: 328. These 2010 models will NOT include the moonroof anymore which can be purchased as a stand alone option for $1,000. It is also part of the Premium Package. This is good news for some people that were looking to shave off some pound of their cars(yes, plenty of us are crazy enough to do that), but it can also be disappointing for those of you that enjoy having a moonroof as a standard feature.

For the 328i Sedan and xDrive models, there is a new package available, ZVP Value Package, which includes Leather Dakota, 17 inch wheels with all-season tires and iPod/USB adapter. The ZMP M Sport Package is available on all the 3 Series models, excluding the 335d.

The 535i xDrive Sports Wagon also has a ZVP Value Package which includes even more options: Heated Steering Wheel, Ski Bag, Heated Front Seats, Retractable Headlight Washers, iPod/USB adapter and Leather Dakota. Could this be the last year for the Sports Wagon in the U.S.?

The pricing on the 328i Sedan and Coupe has also been dropped by $750 while the 335i models keep the same pricing structure as last year.

These are just some of the things that popped up in front of our eyes, but feel free to scan through the 53 page BMW ordering guides for 2010.

2010 BMW USA Ordering Guides (PDF)

[Source: BimmerFile ]

As we hinted a couple of weeks back, the U.S pricing of the new BMW X5 M and X6 M has just been released and it is pretty much what we expected.

The BMW X5 M has a base price of $85,400 while the X6 M is priced at $88,900. At this time, the ordering guides are not available, but we should see them within the next two weeks.

The “twin Ms” will make their way into the BMW dealerships in the fall.

A quick refresher, BMW X5 M and X6 M are powered by a tuned up 4.4 liter V8 M engine delivering 555 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 500 lb-ft of torque from 1,500 to 5,650 rpm. The engine uses the twin-scroll twin turbo technology with High Precision Direct Injection. By positioning the twin-scroll turbochargers together with the catalytic converters in the “V” section between the cylinders, it minimizes the turbo lag and offers better fuel efficiency.

The M X models come equipped with Dynamic Performance Control, special M suspensions and Adaptive Drive, along with a new Servotronic power steering and Active Roll Stabilization system. Other available options are: Head Up Display, Rear View Camera and High Beam Assistant.

BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M run from 0-60 mph in ONLY 4.5 seconds.

It looks our German friends are quick to release the pricing of the new BMW X5 M and X6 M, same as it happened with the Z4 shortly after the launch. As expect, their pricing jumps over the 100k mark, euros of course, with the more expensive BMW X6 M being valued at 108,500 euros.

The X5 M follows closely with a base price of 105,900 euros, making the “M twins” one of the most BMWs out there.

I still expect the U.S pricing to be in the $90,000 range, but we’ll find out next week.

One of their main competitors, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is priced at 133,970 euros, making the X6 M, at least on paper, a better buy. Turbo S outputs 550 horsepower.

The Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG which has always been considered a direct competitor to the X5 is priced at 104,480 euros.

We should also take in consideration the powerful Audi Q7 V12 which produces 500 horsepower and it is priced in Europe at 130,600 euros.

Stay tuned for more information.

Thanks for the info EnI!

Both M5 and M6, along with the 6 Series, receive the all-new iDrive system and the HD Radio. The 6 Series will have the Sport Automatic Transmission as standard while the Manual will set you back another $250.

The wonderful BMW Individual Package has been reduced to $7,700, but a unique Individual paintwork costs $1,800.

What’s included in the package? For starters, the Full Merino Leather, BMW Individual Trim, Anthracite or Alcantara headliner, but also new 19 inch Individual wheels and illuminated door sills.

The new 7 Series gets pretty much the same package, the only noticeable difference are the 20 inch Individual wheels.

Thanks for the tip Randy!

The M Sport Package will be available in March for the following models: 128i, 550i and 3 Series (excluding 335d). The X5 M Package will be available for April built vehicles. Two new M colors can be ordered, LeMans Blue Metallic and Carbon Black.

Here is the full bulletin:

Update: BMW M Sport Package Official Bulletin

Just in, the M Sport Package pricing for the U.S models has been released. As we mentioned several times before, several BMW vehicles will have an M Sport Package as an option. All the BMW 3 Series variants, along with the 135i, 5 Series and X5 will get their own version of the ZMP, the M Sport Package internal code.

Everyone has been wondering how much will this package cost and of course, many people started to speculate (including us), but now we have the official pricing:

• BMW 3 Series E90 Sedan $3750
• BMW 3 Series E91 Wagon $3270
• BMW 3 Series E92 Coupe $3250
• BMW 3 Series E93 $3250
• BMW 550i $4800
• BMW X5 3.0 and 4.8 $6500

I have to say that I am bit suprised by the high pricing set by BMWNA and since they are aggresively looking to boost sales, I expected lower prices across the line.

BMW continues its push-sales strategy and they just announced an enhancement to their financing programs.

BMW USA is introducing a two payment program for select models throughout its vehicle line-up. In this initiative, BMW will make the first two payments (up to $750 per month / $1,500 max.) for vehicles financed through BMW Financial Services.
The program is available for 18 different BMW models, including a choice of BMW 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series, and X5 models.

According to Peter Miles, Executive Vice President, Operations, BMW of North America, BMW does not plan to continue these offers later during the year. Miles: “We are sending a signal to car buyers that this is a great time to shop for a new vehicle. With its unique 4-year/50,000 mile free maintenance program and good fuel economy BMW has always had a good value story. And with these finance offers on top, there has never been a better time to get into a new BMW”.

With a base price of  $44,725, the 335d is $3,200 higher than the regular 335i sedan, so the tax credit should help a bit. The base price of the X5 xDrive35d is $52,025.

Now let’s see if these tax credit will have an immediate impact on their sales.

Press Release after the jump

BMW of North America, LLC confirmed today that both of its BMW Advanced Diesel models with BluePerformance technology have qualified for an Internal Revenue Service Advanced Lean Burn Technology Motor Tax Credit. In choosing vehicles that will burn significantly less fuel and produce significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions, purchasers of the 335d sedan will qualify for up to a $900 tax credit while purchasers of the X5 xDrive35d Sports Activity Vehicle® will qualify for up to a $1,800 tax credit.

“Qualification for these tax credits is further recognition of the remarkable efficiency of our new BMW Advanced Diesel models,” said Jim O’Donnell, President of BMW of North America, LLC.

Both BMW Advanced Diesel models keep the promise of the Ultimate Driving Machine® while delivering class leading fuel efficiency. With 265 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque available from the 3.0-liter sequential twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder diesel engine, the 335d is capable of accelerating from 0 – 60 mph is six seconds flat while the X5 xDrive35d will do it in just 6.9 seconds. In spite of this level of performance the 335d Sedan, the most fuel efficient BMW ever sold in the US, delivers 23 miles per gallon city and 36 miles per gallon on the highway according to the US EPA. The X5 xDrive35d is rated at 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. Both models are capable of traveling nearly 600 miles on a single tank of fuel.

The 335d Sedan and X5 xDrive35d Sports Activity Vehicle® are now available in BMW centers across all 50 states.

The reason for the price increase? Economical changes in the market place and a revenue decline in 2008. In addition, BMW has also announced the pricing for the 2009 BMW 7 Series, and nothing has changed from the previous article we wrote: 

• BMW 750i –  $81,125 MSRP
• BMW 750Li -$85,025 MSRP

The new 7 Series will reach the U.S dealerships in the first week of March 2009, but the 7er can be ordered any time now.

Here is the full BMW pricing for 2009:

Woodcliff Lake, NJ – December 22, 2008…BMW of North America, LLC announced today an average price increase of 0.7 percent for BMW vehicles sold in the U.S. effective January 1, 2009. This action is driven by the ongoing structural and economical changes in the market place.

In addition, BMW announced pricing for the new 2009 7 Series that debuted recently at the Los Angeles International Auto Show.

Would these rates get you off the fence and place an order?

In the mean time, all of the 2008 bimmers, with the exception of the X6, can be purchased with a 0.9% finance rate. Additionally, money factors have been reduced on all models, except the 1 Series and X6.

I looked at my BMW 335i’s lease numbers(I purchased the car back in January), and I realized the new rates would have saved me almost $50/month or a total of $1800 over three years. Not bad, but hey, you can’t always predict the market.

The new 3 Series Sedan and Touring will have MSRP reductions ranging from $1,000 -$1,100 depending on model and it will include more standard features than before. 

The 5 Series model range also heads into MY 2009 with: -across-the-board MSRP reductions. -revisions to standard equipment which, when combined with MSRP reductions, add from $1,300 to $6,600 of additional value vs. 2008, depending on model.

The highest price reduction can be found in the BMW M6 Coupe and Cabriolet, around $7,000 off MSRP compared to the previous year model.

Most of the models receive the awaited discounts, minus the newly introduces 1 and 3 Series, along with the M3 or the X6.

But here is the full press release for our Canadian friends. I really hope these news will make you smile.

[Thanks to Michael from Bimmerfile ]

BMW Canada announces MY 2009 Product and Pricing Updates 09/16/2008 Whitby. BMW Canada announced today pricing and equipment details of the 2009 model year lineup. The new 3 Series Sedan and Touring highlight the new model offerings, while MSRP reductions ranging from $1,000 -$7,000 depending on model complemented by upgraded equipment levels, represent increased value for consumers. “The Canadian market remains intensely competitive and premium brand consumers are benefiting,” stated Kevin Marcotte, Director Marketing, BMW Canada. “Our 2009 product offerings, including diesel engines in the new 3 Series Sedan and X5 Sports Activity Vehicle later this year provide Canadians with even more choice to enjoy our brand promise of delivering The Ultimate Driving Experience.” The following summary outlines key features of 2009 BMW model lineup.

The system provides outstandingly quick access to digital maps for navigation purposes and can also be used for an extensive collection of music files. The system enables music files to be transferred to the hard drive from a CD, MP3 player or USB stick. – Active Headrests join a long list of standard passive safety features, further reducing the risk of head injury in the event of a rear-end collision.

Optional equipment also receives two notable enhancements with the introduction of: – an all-new, 2nd-generation hard-drive based iDrive with large 22cm (8.8”) high-resolution screen and improved display environment – included in the optional Navigation Package. – SIRIUS Satellite Radio with 1 year subscription – included in the optional Premium Sound Package 328i Coupé and 328 xDrive Coupé – MSRPs of, respectively, $42,600 and $45,100 (both $1,000 lower than MY 2008) while adding a Glass Sunroof and Electric Front Seats with Driver Memory as standard equipment – a total added value of $3,900 vs. the equivalent MY 2008. 328i Cabriolet – MSRP of $55,600 ($1,000 lower than MY 2008), adding Dakota Leather as standard equipment – a total added value of $3,400 vs. the equivalent MY 2008 model. 335i Cabriolet – MSRP of $65,600 ($1,000 lower than MY 2008), adding BMW Assist with Bluetooth as standard equipment – a total added value of $2,100 vs. the equivalent MY 2008 model.

The new X5 diesel will be powered by the same 3.0-litre straight-six diesel engine with Variable Twin Turbo Technology as the 335d, with a maximum output of 265 hp and an astounding peak torque of 425 lb-ft.

BMW 1 Series Coupés and 1 Series Cabriolets Freshly introduced in the spring of 2008, the new 1 Series Coupés and Cabriolets have quickly staked out a unique and resoundingly popular place in the premium sport compact segment. Still one of BMW’s “new kids on the block” and continuing to gain momentum, all 1 Series models transition into MY 2009 without major changes to standard equipment. Optional equipment, however, receives two notable enhancements with the introduction of: – an all-new, 2nd-generation hard drive based iDrive with fixed 22cm (8.8”) high-resolution screen and improved display environment – included in the optional Navigation Package. – SIRIUS Satellite Radio tuner with 1 year subscription – included in the optional Premium Sound Package The MSRP of all MY 2009 1 Series in unchanged from MY 2008.
