BMW Rolls Out 2026 Model-Year Pricing Update for January 1st

BMW is kicking off the new year with a round of mid-model-year pricing adjustments across most of its 2026 lineup. The changes are modest — roughly a one-percent increase — but they touch a wide range of models, from the 2 Series all the way through the X7.
For shoppers, the update is small enough that it won’t drastically move monthly payments, but it’s something to be aware of if you’re comparing deals from earlier in the year.
What’s Changing in 2026
BMW made across-the-board adjustments on many core gasoline models. Here’s a quick look at some of the notable increases:
Sedans & Coupes
230i / 230i xDrive: +$500
M240i / M240i xDrive: +$600
330i / 330i xDrive: +$500
M340i / M340i xDrive: +$600
M3 / M3 Competition (RWD & xDrive): +$900
4 Series
430i Coupe: +$700
M440i Coupe: +$800
M4 & M4 Competition: +$900
Convertibles
430i Convertible: +$700
M440i Convertible: +$800
M4 Competition Convertible: +$900
5 Series
530i / 530i xDrive: +$600
540i xDrive: +$600
550e xDrive plug-in hybrid: +$700
8 Series
Pricing bumps in the $1,000–$1,200 range depending on trim and body style.
M5
Both the sedan and touring versions rise by $1,400.
X Models
X1: +$400
X2: +$400
X3 30: +$400
X3 M50: +$600
X5 sDrive/xDrive 40i: +$700
X5 50e: +$800
X5 M60i: +$1,000
X5 M Competition: +$1,300
X6 40i: +$900
X6 M60i: +$1,100
X6 M: +$1,500
X7 40i: +$800
X7 M60i: +$1,100
Models That Stay the Same
A few key vehicles do not receive any price changes, including:
All i-series electric models (i4, i5, i7, iX)
XM
ALPINA XB7
Z4
7 Series
M2 CS
These models continue with their previous 2026 pricing.
What This Means for Shoppers
The increases are small enough that most payments won’t jump dramatically — especially on leases — but it does mean that any quotes from earlier in the year may no longer match current pricing. Customers who ordered their vehicles before January 1st may still be protected depending on how their dealer handles in-flight orders.
For anyone ordering fresh, these updated MSRPs are now the baseline heading into the 2026 calendar year.
Bottom Line
BMW’s annual mid-year pricing adjustment is pretty standard, and 2026 is no different. Most gas-powered vehicles see slight increases, performance models land on the higher end of the bump, and EVs and a handful of specialty models stay untouched.
