Thanks! No such luck on the incentives or taxes though. If you're stationed overseas there are some programs you can use (that's how we bought the X5) but here I buy just like everyone else. Right now the best incentive I can find is BMW's own $1500/0.9% program. We also have USAA membership, but they just use Zag.com so no big savings there.

We do live in the very military-friendly state of North Carolina where new vehicle sales tax is only 3%. Also, the only time we get an income tax break is when serving in a combat zone. Otherwise we pay normal income taxes as well
