I was looking at 2016 4 series and the invoice price as 93% of MSRP but now for 2017 my dealer informed me that has gone up to 94% of MSRP and also for the options it has also increased.
Is this correct, can I trust the dealer since I have no way of verifying it?

Thanks

I vaguely remember reading something about this. The article went something like:

- Invoice price is increasing as a % of MSRP for both the car and the options
- But dealer holdback is increasing
- And so dealers will be more willing to sell closer to invoice
- Plus there are different incentives for dealers, giving more wiggle room on highly optioned cars

I tried using google but couldn't find the source.

Having seen the "Vehicle Inquiry Report" (not sure what it is, but that's the title on the document my CA showed me) it shows Wholesale of a 440i xDrive GC to be 47,000, MSRP as 50,000. Ergo, 94% - so yes, it's accurate.
