BMW's ridiculous options pricing

Skyhigh · 04-07-2018, 05:07 AM

BMW is nothing in comparison to Audi when it comes to options and pricing

Which is one of the main reasons I ended up with a loaded F36 instead of an A5/S5.
Generally there is no "premium" without a "premium" price-tag

You can get a Mazda or Peugeot with plenty of options (many of which included by default) for portion of the price...

And HK is absolutely fantastic (can only speak for Gran Coupe). Don't understand what people are complaining about. It is only fair to compare with "built-it" solutions. It does sound appreciably better than the Bang Olufsen in the current A5/S5 and better than the self-retrofitted "Audi Sound Plus" (Alpine) in my A3.

I wouldn't go with what the configurator says. You can negotiate the price on anything. I would avoid preferring a custom build and negotiate a deal on a loaded car on the lot. Or you can order a custom build and let the quote you a price on paper you can show to other dealers.
