In general, I have heard one can get a brand new BMW 10-15% off the MRSP. How much lower price one should offer on a used BMW 3 series?
  
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?

How does diesel engine of 335d sound? Does it has same rumbling noise of gasoline engine? I have heard diesel cars are lot more noisy at least that was my impression from VW Jetta.

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

This sounds to me like a good deal if the lease is for 10k miles/year, and an outstanding deal if for 10k miles/month. I am also assuming that the cap reduction was $5000 off the MSRP. For my recent lease, I received a cap reduction of $5500 off MSRP on a similarly equipped 328xi. On 2009 3-series, most dealers are at invoice or a bit below below before any BMW FS incentives
 
You may want to check the Money Factor in the lease, because there are many ways it can be used to increase the monthly lease payment while lowering the drive-off costs. For example, the MF currently on this car is 0.00135, but BMW FS allows dealers to add up to 0.0004 to this number. The more the dealer adds, the less down payment they would require. Also, you could forgo paying an initial security deposit if you agree to increase the MF by 0.00015.

Was this a 4 door or coupe? I'm looking to lease the same if it's a coupe and am wondering about what I should pay vs MSRP.

Hi djhitman3am,
 
We are also interested in a 2007 CPO 328xi to take advantage of BMW's 0.9% finance offer. Could you let us know where is the dealership and if possible, their name?
 
Hmm, we are kind of lost in searching CPO as well. Could you share your experience like which website?
 
Thank you so much!
