#1494 of 10320 Okay.. by kyfdx HOST Jun 24, 2004 (12:36 pm)
Not sure about side impact rear airbags.. standard maybe?   Anyway, 325i with metallic paint, auto, and premium package..   MSRP $33645 Inv. $30885 incentive -$1200 Dealer "cost" $29,685   Assuming they have the car on the lot that you want, I'd start them out at $30K and see what happens.. They may have a MACO advertising charge on their invoice that would make their "cost" a little higher, but I would think that $31K would make it happen at the top end.   That is all supposition on my part, from the feedback of others shopping for similar cars.   regards, kyfdx

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 24, 2004 11:48 am) thanks kyfdx for the link. i actually emailed the internet guy there about the 330i i wanted. i think i offended him because he wouldn't give me a counteroffer after i "lowballed" him. since they were offering $5500 off on some of their 325i's, i figured i could get the same off a 330i, which even has a higher dealer rebate. but i guess most dealers have alot more 325i's just sitting on the lot so they are more motivated to move the 325i's.

Yeah.. you'd think you could get at least that deal on a 330i. You could always drive up there and see what they have and what they'll do.. Nothing works like a solid offer with checkbook in hand.   regards, kyfdx

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 24, 2004 12:54 pm) nah, that's ok. it's their loss. i'll sit on the sidelines awhile and wait to see what lease incentives bmw offers over the next few months. if i wait a couple of months, i'll also get to see what changes bmw will be making for the 05 3series.

#1499 of 10320 Rear Side Impact Airbags by riez Jun 24, 2004 (3:41 pm)
Are you sure it has optional rear side impact airbags? Are these side curtain airbags? The 5 Series added standard side curtain airbags in MY03.   Rear side airbags (non-curtain) were available as a rare special order option in the early model years of the E46. Thinking you could get them in '00. But I thought they went away around '01 or '02.

Replying to: penn5 (Jun 24, 2004 2:50 pm) '05 3-series..   Not many changes... At least initially, sunroof is standard, as is wood trim. Not much else that I have heard....
#1501 of 10320 Good deal or not in SF Bay area? by 5150 Jun 25, 2004 (7:58 am)
Went to Peter Pan BMW in San Mateo, CA and hated their customer service. Finally got SF BMW to match carsdirect.com quote on a 330i w/ ZHP Performance Pkg, Xenon, Heated seats, and moonroof. About $1k below invoice - $2400; essentially dealer wants $1400 profit + whatever holdbacks they get. I didn't negotiate hard since I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend $39k+tax/fees to purchase or if I should lease for 3 yrs. Is this a good deal for this region? Lease or buy? If I buy I think I'd want a new car in 5 years, so how much do you think the 330i is worth with 55k miles in 2009?
#1502 of 10320 5150 by blueguydotcom Jun 25, 2004 (8:17 am)
Call some So Cal dealers. You could save one grand on that price without blinking. You're getting raked over the coals. One $35 southwest ticket to San Diego or Irvine/OC and you're good to go. Heck if you buy the car, they'll probably meet you at the airport and take you to your car.   Is it worth a grand to you?   And whenever you lease you negotiate the price first. The sales price v. msrp is major key in how much you pay on a lease. If you're 2k below invoice and the MSRP is 43k, you're saving major money per month on a lease.   And I have a feeling the e46 BMW will be pretty worthless by 2009. The e90 is going to be a pretty big leap. Replies to this message: smug01 (Jun 25, 2004 8:45 am) 5150 (Jun 25, 2004 11:16 am) djsway (Jun 28, 2004 9:28 am)

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Jun 25, 2004 8:17 am) I agree with the recommendation to try SoCal dealers. I have been searching for the following car:   330Ci w/ ZHP Moonroof Zenons Heated seats Alcantara Interior 6-spd manual   MSRP: $44970 (Including BMW Assist, which it seams all new models are now optioned with)   The best I could get from a NoCal dealer was $42k and they didn't even spend the time to locate a car...said I would have to special order and wait 90 days. I just negotioated a deal from a SoCal dealer for the car at $40k with a 0.0024 MF, should I decide to lease. This seams like a pretty fair deal and the car should be received by the dealer this weekend. I will likely lease the vehicle, hoping that the next month's lease incentive (if there is one) will be a wash.
