Commisons depend on options and hold back.. .it really goes buy model...you make more cash if ya sell a 5 over a three, or a 7 over a six.. ..but bimmer SA's can make some serious cash..if they are just honest... .it's one car people want to own..so if your making 650 on a 325..so figure about 800 for a 5 before any options..sell 6 or seven a month of a basic 3 series....you should be good to go:rocks: so if ya moving like 15 a month....your the man/women

$650 on a 325? $650? Are you alright??? A 325 is almost a guaranteed "mini" at our dealership. After packs, a typical deal on a 325i at full MSRP is barely a $500 como. A more typical 325 deal pays a $150 flat.

To support his argument, Mini's on new cars happen frequently. Any entry level car or the one that moves the most units usually turns into a mini. A mini means the mininum commission you can get on a sale. So if I sell an Altima and the dealership profits $400 off the deal (theirs only $1300 in markup to begin with) then I get a mini of $100 ($100 is the mininum in my store) becuase if I got the 20% of the front end profit like I would then it wouldnt be higher than $100. Used cars are where I make money in car sales. I sold an 03 Nissan Xterra yesterday and made $754 off that deal. The reason why for those who do not know if becuase consumers dont know what I own a used car for, unlike new cars where the invoice isnt a big secret.

I'm a Used Car Manager at a BMW dealer. I have access to all of our deals and can pull up the gross profit on any deal I want to. I also have the ability to see what a salesperson makes for commission on any deal I want to... $800 on a 5-series is also a very rare thing... I have no reason to lie to you... and if you say I'm full of it....

In today's extremely competitive marketplace, it's very hard to show any significant gross on a 3-series, 5-series, X3 or X5. With everyone here bragging about how they paid $500 over invoice, $1000 over invoice, etc., it's easy to see where all the gross has gone.

Like some others, I thought it'd be exciting being around all these nice vehicles at the BMW dealership, until I stopped by in the middle of the day for some paperwork--nobody doing anything, no customers, and overhearing salespeople cold-calling. I wouldn't do that even for 6-figures.... |

Anyway, this 100k Manhattan = 41k Phoenix is a myth. You're better off making 100k in Manhattan and struggling, because you are earning 100k, not 41k. You can also earn 41k in Manhattan. It's indicative of your skill set, not the cost-of-living. Some people choose to earn the Manhattan salary and commute 2 hrs. each way. My g/f does so when she stays over, takes her 2 hrs. to get to midtown by the train and then bus from Penn Sta. |

OUCH!
If any of you car sales guys are near/in utah PM me. I can't believe you guys work such long hours for so little pay. I own a company selling business opportunities. Telephone sales, straight commission, paid 1099. My top 4 salesman make over 300k/year (1099). and 5-8 make about 100k (1099). They work 40-45 hours a week with potential for parnership to top perfomers in future companies. Paid vacations at 2k/week, 4 per year. Take the blinders off and PM me, I'm hiring six new guys in january 07'

Pretty easy to figure out how much a BMW sales consultant makes.
Commission = ((0.09 X vehicle MSRP) - Discount) X 0.20

holy crap! you guys are still talkin about this??!!
I am absolutely amazed you guys are still talkin about what we as CA's make. So I will tell you.
The top person made 500,000 at Beverly Hills. Sold over 650 new cars last year. Gods honest truth. She has an entire staff of her own. The bottom guys will make about 40k. They are either, a) lazy or b) at a very small dealership. Im at Global Imports BMW in Atlanta. We are quite successful, but certainly not the largest. Vista, Braman smoke us. But we have been around for 35 years. Therefore we have 11 out of 16 salespeople making well over 80k. The others have been there less than 3 years. Our top person made 275k last year. There is money, lots of money to be made in car sales. The trick is to get on board with a dealership with a payplan that matches how you sell your cars. In other words, its the dealership that decides how they pay their salespeople, not BMW. Any questions? |

I sold 121 BMW's last year and made 85k. Thats what a salersperson makes so thats our easy answer. I am hoping to do 140-150 this year and make about 7-10k more.
