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

By Sina KPublished on 12/3/2025Category: Knowledge

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

4 Series

Convertibles

5 Series

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


Models That Stay the Same

A few key vehicles do not receive any price changes, including:

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.
