Well it looks like BMW and MB are planning to keep prices high after the chip shortage ends by limiting new car inventory.

Now that People have been paying more for cars manufacturers want to push margins up.

Manufacturers get more profit, dealers will get their mark up, and the averahe customer loses.

[blazenbb]

Of course they are. Just like every other industry

BMW and MB cars look like straight trash these days anyway, no big loss there.

Exactly.

[iifymbro]

[EnderG60]

[greenleaf]

Nice strategy just in time for recession.

Guess all the future try-hards wont be driving 3 Series (and below) anymore.

Only suckers buy these brands... usually try hards that don't even turn their own wrenches paying out the arse for oil changes and basic maintenance. Ill take a lexus or acrua over these two any day when it comes to a luxury car.

God this is such a cuck response.

Yes at 33 I no longer change my own oil, I'm not a peasant. My time is worth more than what it cost for an oil change. BMW covers all mine under warranty still anyways, but regardless I'd still pay the $100.

lmao @ this cuck cope. 99% of poor people pay for oil changes anyway since they live in apts and don't have a driveway to work on their cars. takes all of 10 min if you aren't incompetent, saves time AND money AND your car from getting fuked by some oil change goober

[Briangumble]

What about all the packages and options that they removed? Every time I look at the BMW website, more and more packages and options are removed. It doesn't make sense to pay more for a newer car that has less features than a used car.

Don't worry they'll artificially inflate the residuals even more to subsidize the leases and make them more affordable.

[jinda628]

It will not work for makers that are able to move large volumes.
BMW and MB volumes are nothing compared to Toyota, Honda, GM, Ford, FCA, Hyundai, etc.

Large volume movers cannot limit or control supplies since their priority is to move as many cars as possible with an acceptable profit margin and the competition between these cheaper cars are higher.

[knightofday]

Of course they are. Just like every other industry

Me and many others called it, soo many people argued with me lol

BMW and MB cars look like straight trash these days anyway, no big loss there.

Fact

This is fuking disgusting srs


Its all part of the larger agenda to kill off gas cars and control us with electric very srs

The big corporations are all in on the Great Reset

Brand Identity. At one time, BMW and Mercedes were the upper end of the practical car market. The thing is the sales were low and of course bean counters wanted to see more cars sold to get more volume and increase profits and market share. Sure, sounds great, but then the dealerships started filling up with the common car buyer that brings in their misbahaving children to make a mess out of the cappichino machine and they think they and their car is special. Just LOL @ the A class benz. Because the C class is out of your budget? Go buy a Dodge. MB and BMW are now the "try hard" and poser-mobiles.

Some people shop at Whole Foods or even Publix mainly because they don't mind paying a little more so they don't have to put up with the Walmart crowd. Same with cars.

[Kewbrah]

I cannot believe the price I got my 330i for last year. 18 months later and identical cars are going for $10k+ more than I paid. Plus it included 5 years of servicing thrown in.
