2023 BMW M340i — would a large MSRP cut make you wait before buying?

Price cuts and incentives are good for new buyers but can hit recent owners resale hard. How much do you consider potential manufacturer price moves when buying a newer EV or luxury car?

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2023 BMW M340i charge sessions. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2023 BMW M340i in Bay Area. Was this after sitting overnight? That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

I'd treat 12V warnings as a no-ignore. On the 2023 BMW M340i, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. Then you'll know the next fork. On “would a large msrp cut make you,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Did the worksheet show tax yet? I already checked the easy fluid levels.

Checked the easy stuff on the 2023 BMW M340i and found one clue worth chasing before I book a shop. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.
