Business owners across Naperville, Hinsdale, and the greater Chicagoland area often use Section 179 of the IRS tax code when purchasing qualifying BMW vehicles. This provision may allow eligible businesses to deduct the cost of certain vehicles in the year they are placed into service, rather than depreciating them over time.
At Bill Jacobs BMW, we work with professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners who want clarity, accuracy, and a smooth buying experience when evaluating BMW vehicles for business use.
Section 179 is intended to encourage business investment. Vehicle eligibility depends on configuration, gross vehicle weight rating, and how the vehicle is used for business.
Many business owners look for vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating over 6,000 pounds when discussing Section 179 with their accountant. The BMW models below exceed that threshold in certain configurations.
Select configurations exceed 6,000 lbs GVWR.
High-performance SUV with qualifying GVWR.
Configurations exceed 6,000 lbs GVWR.
Performance-focused SUV exceeding 6,000 lbs GVWR.
Three-row BMW SUV exceeding 6,000 lbs GVWR.

Purchasing a BMW for business use is more than selecting a vehicle. It is about working with a dealership that understands professional buyers, documentation needs, and long-term ownership.
Our team can help you compare BMW models, review configurations, and provide the information your tax professional may request.
