Can someone weigh in if this is an acceptable lease deal for a 2026 Porsche Macan EV 12k/year?!
The fine folks at Porsche Bellevue claims this is the „their full and final best offer“ and includes 2x returning Porsche Goodwill credit
Many people have said that the PNW is an all round poor market for car purchasing
Any feedback or experiences would be welcomed
Will be posting soon. Tune in!
Let me know which models anyone needs a breakdown for.
I am trying to achieve $750 with $0 das and 12k miles. Is that achievable?
BMW GKL/M Loyalty is huge this month — up to $20,000 on XM and $7,000 on 7 Series/i7
If you are shopping a higher-end BMW this month, this is worth paying attention to.
BMW has a special GKL/M Loyalty program available on select flagship and M models. This is not the same as regular BMW loyalty.
Regular BMW loyalty is usually the standard $1,000–$2,000 credit you see on many common models.
GKL/M Loyalty is different. It is targeted toward customers coming out of BMW’s higher-end vehicles or true M cars, and on the right model it can be worth thousands more.
Current GKL/M Loyalty support:
| New BMW Model | Potential Total Loyalty |
|---|---|
| 2025 XM / XM Label | Up to $20,000 |
| 2026 XM Label | Up to $9,500 |
| 2025/2026 7 Series / i7 | Up to $7,000 |
| 2025/2026 8 Series | Up to $4,500 |
| 2026 X7 M60i | Up to $4,000 |
The important part is qualification.
You generally need to currently own, lease, or have recently owned a qualifying BMW GKL or true M vehicle.
Examples include:
7 Series / i7
8 Series
XM
X7
M2 / M3 / M4 / M5 / M8
X3 M / X4 M / X5 M / X6 M
One thing people miss:
M Performance is not the same as true M for this program.
So an M340i, M440i, X3 M40i, X5 M60i, etc. may be great cars, but they are not automatically treated the same as an M3, M4, X5 M, etc. for this special loyalty program.
That difference matters a lot.
The reason the totals get so high is because the special GKL/M Loyalty can stack with standard BMW loyalty.
For example:
7 Series / i7
Standard loyalty can be up to $5,000 total.
GKL/M loyalty can add another $2,000.
Total: up to $7,000
2025 XM / XM Label
Standard loyalty can be up to $7,500.
GKL/M loyalty can add another $12,500.
Total: up to $20,000
That is why two people can be shopping the exact same BMW and get very different payments.
Same car.
Same MSRP.
Same dealer discount.
Same lease or finance program.
But one person only has standard BMW loyalty, while the other qualifies for GKL/M loyalty on top of it.
That extra loyalty can materially lower the payment, especially on expensive cars like the XM, i7, 7 Series, 8 Series, and X7 M60i.
This is also why the payment alone does not tell the full story.
You need to know how the deal is built.
A clean deal should separate:
Dealer discount
Standard loyalty
GKL/M loyalty
Lease or APR credit
Money factor / APR
Fees
Due at signing
You do not want a dealer blending rebate money into the “discount” and making it look like they are discounting the car more than they really are.
Also, loyalty and conquest do not stack.
It is one or the other.
So if you qualify for BMW loyalty, the deal should be built on the loyalty side. If you are coming from a competing luxury brand and do not qualify for BMW loyalty, that is a different structure.
The simple takeaway:
If you currently have, or recently had, a real BMW M car, 7 Series, i7, 8 Series, X7, or XM, do not shop these cars like a normal BMW customer.
You may qualify for a much stronger loyalty structure, and on these expensive cars, that can move the payment a lot.
We work with a pre-negotiated network of BMW dealers in California, the Midwest, the Southwest, Florida, and the Northeast. We help with sourcing, pricing, program verification, and structure so you’re not guessing your way through the deal.

Question to the auto guys I am in the market for a Lexus GX 550 (looking at Luxury +) for the family. Yes I know the TX is better in terms of interior space but the GX look is just soo cool lol.
A couple questions
Is this SUV in super high demand or something? Any dealer I talk to is charging above MSRP.
Some dealers I spoke to said "All their inventory and those coming in are spoken for".
I would appreciate any insight on what is going on in the current market as I don't want to rush into buying something and overpaying due to "scarcity".
Hi all,
Looking for advice on whether getting a lease deal for either '26 M3 competition xdrive or 26' AMG GLC 43 coupe for $800-900 sounds reasonable? I am tier 1 and would ideally like 36 months/10K miles with zero down.
I am a HENRY, and would likely lease-to-own the M3, but I want to keep my payments down right now. I would likely just lease the GLC 43 then trade in for something else given i will have more cash on hand after 3 years. I am in Massachusetts now, but moving to Florida in 2 months and trying to decide where to buy. Either way, my company is covering all moving costs; therefore, I am not worried about transportation to Florida.
Appreciate any advice.
