BMW Australia Increases Prices Of Nearly All Cars, But iX3 Gets $10,000 Cut

Last month, when BMW USA updated its online configurator, previous reports of a sweeping price increase were confirmed. In a similar story in Australia, the automaker’s regional branch has released his full January 2023 pricing details. Cars are more expensive than they used to be, between $1,600 and $11,500 (AUD). The biggest jump is his competition-spec M8 Coupe and M8 Gran Coupe, followed by his M850i ​​Coupe and M850i ​​Convertible charging his $9,000 premium.

in an interview with car expertA BMW Australia spokesperson explained the pricing changes: However, we always aim to ensure that our products are well positioned and offer competitive pricing in the market for our customers. ”

With $10,000 cheaper on electric crossovers, the silver lining is a significant price cut for the iX3. At $104,900, it’s $5,500 more than the plug-in hybrid X3 xDrive30e. It’s unclear if this decision was made in response after Tesla cut the price of the Model Y by up to $3,400. Coincidentally, both EVs are made in China.

It should be mentioned that BMW’s price increase earlier this year follows several similar adjustments made in 2022, particularly in April and August.Pricing details for the Australian market are attached below. I’m here. The most affordable model is the 118i hatchback starting at $53,900, while the most expensive is the M8 Coupe starting at $374,400.

The 7-series G70 is not listed as it is a recent addition to the lineup and has not undergone a price change. The flagship tops out with the $297,900 i7 xDrive60. The X1 U11 is also a new product, so it’s the same story. Other models are doing their best with an unchanged pricing structure.
