BMW Slash Prices
BMW has announced recommended price reductions across its UK range with effect from today. Together with additional equipment now coming as standard.
This means that many models (when specification adjusted) are now cheaper than they were seven years ago, in 1993 - and that's even without taking inflation into account.
Customers for the new X5, BMW's new 4x4 "Sports Activity Vehicle", who have vehicles on order (and the order books are full well into 2001) will pay up to £2795 less than they were expecting.
Jim O'Donnell, Managing Director of BMW (GB), said, "I am keen to restore market stability following a period of uncertainty over pricing. UK customers can be totally confident that BMW dealers offer the best possible value for money as well as outstanding service, including 3 year warranty and emergency service. In my opinion this value improvement will threaten the very survival of the importers and dot com companies who sought to make a fast buck."
