Hi Davidk12, I think you're likely going to be out of luck getting a 335d spec'd that way off the lot. The car that was sent to the dealers as their launch car (every dealer got one) was a very stripped Barbera red/beige leatherette with heated seats as the only option. Even that was a $45k car. Second point. A lot of people, including me, thought like you. I wound up ordering a 2010 335d at $1250 over invoice, and then the $4500 ecocredit off that. To get the ecocredit on a 2010 it had to meet ordering and delivery deadlines, and the dealer basically had to have a 335d build slot to put your order and specs into. Not sure if it's even still possible to find a dealer with build slots. Hope that helps |

I currently lease a 2007 x3. It is an amazing trunk and I am loathe to part with it. But the lease is up in 2 months and the buyout is not favorable. I have been offered the following by my local dealer(who I also leased the x3 from): 2009 335xdrive (dealer loaner car) ~9200 miles Premium package, cold weather package, ipod/USB, satillite radio for 1 year, Auto trans. Titanium Silver with Black interior. I am told the car is in perfect condition. Lease deal: $450/mo including tax. $2300 down which no security deposit. 3 yrs, 12k/yr. So I am going to be giving in the X3 and forgo the last 2 months of my lease to get the 335. The price of the new 335 leases are several hundred dollars more based on my research. I did have some concern over the millage on the car, and the fact that I may have to purchase tires for the car b4 the lease is up(which I didn't have to do for the x3- prob. saved me about a grand). The car has a warranty up to 50k miles so everything should be covered. Should I have any concern here with the millage? I have spoken to other non-affiliated BMW sales consultants and they have told me the deal is a steal and a no-brainer. Thanks for all comments/insights!!

Replying to: darthwohl (Sep 27, 2009 11:20 am) The reason why I give you that explination is that if your offer is the same, to me it seems like a great deal. What you have to be ready for: the in-service date already had kicked in so my ultimate service was approx 10 months short as is the warranty.. .since it's not a "used" car it doesn't qualify for CPO extension. All in all, there was no way I was going to get a 2008 328i coupe with all my features for $32.5k... closer to $39k... so for me, the extra miles didn't matter as the $ saved and .09% apr.

Replying to: soapdish616 (Sep 27, 2009 11:58 am) I am leasing for 12k/yr for 36 mo. So I think that part will work out ok for me. And yes it does appear we have similar deals. The salesperson told me that I was getting the car for 10k under msrp. |

Hey all, hoping for some advice. Found a - Certified Pre-Owned BMW 328XI - Automatic Trans - 31k miles (originally titled 02/07) - looks to be pretty basic (no navi, heated seats, etc.), but still has all the bones of the bmw (sunroof, pwr everything, leather seats, etc) talked it down to $25,500 (pre-tax, title, etc). it's located several states away though, so i'd probably have to fly out and look/drive it back ($200 flight+gas for the drive back), or ship it here (~$700). (1) - is this a good deal?? (2) - never bought a used car or a car from another state before. is it worth trekking halfway across the country to check it out or is it "safe" to buy/ship if the car is Certified Pre-Owned? thx in advance

Replying to: boomer23 (Dec 03, 2007 3:39 pm) In my area BMW 328i, according to Edmund is worth around $30K but similarly equipped and mileages on a used BMW, dealer is asking around $24K to $29K. What is wrong here? |

I just received the following lease. This appears to be a good deal. I didn't put any money down except for the normal inception fees which was around $1200 (bank acquisition fees and DMV fees). I received around $5,000 cap cost reduction which was made up of around $3K of rebates and $2K to get the car off the lot due to high inventory). Does this sound okay to anyone else? Monthly payments: $525 Money down: ZERO (besides acquisition fees, dmv fees, etc.) Lease terms: 36 months with 10K per month. Model: 328xi coupe AWD SULEV Sport Package Premium Package Cold Weather Navigation
