this bmw dealer is i giving away i cars right now

Have you been considering a new BMW but only have enough coin to buy one of Bavaria’s finest? At least one BMW dealer in the U.S. might have a solution.

If you don’t mind buying a new BMW that’s been languishing on the lot for a year, Century West BMW will throw in a lease on a BMW i3 on the house.

The above ad was sent via email to a previous customer of Century West BMW in North Hollywood, California, and it looks to be a case of hitting two birds with one stone: clear out the old 2015 BMW inventory and make way for an upgraded BMW i3 at the same time. Buy a model year 2015 BMW and that 2016 BMW i3 hidden behind the container at the back of the lot is all yours, at least for a little while.

Here are the finer points:

Pricing varies based on customer’s selection of vehicles. See dealer for all price and payment terms. Four purchase and lease offers available. Customers must purchase an eligible 2015 BMW vehicle for dealer to include a lease on an eligible 2016 BMW i3. Offers expire 06/31/2016.

Eligible 2015 BMW Vehicles: ZA 35i (VIN: J799148); M235i CV (VINs: V393059, V393315); 335i (VINs: K472850, K472907, NT09009, NT09420); 535d (VIN: D691423); 550i (VIN: D961319); 650I CP (VIN: D248365); 750Li (VINs: D782039, D781838, D781887, D781911, D782118); X5 xd50i (VINs: 0J77838, 0J78220); X6 xd35i (VINs: 0F96561, 0F96421, 0N77789); X6 xd50i (VINs 0R33552, 0F94402, 0F94397); X6 M (VINs 0G93677, 0G93999). Eligible 2016 BMW i3 VINs: V160135, 160129, 160103, 16969.

As this deal isn’t publicly advertised, is this a case of BMW trying to unload unwanted inventory on the sly?

I test drove the i3 for a gift card last Xmas, and it is flawed for 2 reasons: 1) the suicide rear door and tucked into the back rear seat. Imagine putting rear facing car seats in the rear. 2) the release the accelerator pedal and suddenly regen like there's no tomorrow braking. You are forced to hold the accelerator pedal constantly if you want to cruise at a constant speed without using cruise control. I'd pick a Leaf, a plug in Prius, or a Volt, and pocket the price difference instead of the i3.

Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Defender looks way better than the Bronco in both 2-door and 4-door.
ToolGuy I found this particular episode to be incredibly offensive.I am shocked that eBay Motors is supporting this kind of language and attitudes in 2024.I will certainly keep this in mind next time I am choosing where to buy auto parts (I buy a LOT of auto parts).
SaulTigh When I was young in the late 80's one of my friends had the "cool dad." You know the guy, first to buy a Betamax and a C-band satellite dish. Couple of stand up arcade games in the den. Bought my friend an Atari 2600 as soon as they came out. He had two of these crap heaps. One that only ran half the time and one for parts in the yard. My middle school brain though he was the most awesome dad ever, buying us pizza and letting us watch R rated movies recorded on free HBO weekend. At the time I though he was much better than my boring father.Now with adult hindsight, I now know he was "dad who should have taken better care of his family" and not had so many toys.
Dave Has to be Indy 500. Many more leaders and front passes than NASCAR, and Monaco is unwatchable with the inability to pass on that circuit.
