It shouldn't have any effect on negotiations.. I believe there is an extra charge for Perfomance Center delivery, though?
 
When we visited the plant/museum, they had three cars sitting out ready for delivery.. It would be awesome to do that.. Picking up your new M3 vert, sitting out front of the museum with the top down

I won't be getting an M3 vert, but I did the two-day Performance Center driving school in 2001, which is when I fell in love with the 3-series, and I did get to drive an M3 coupe and an M coupe. Lots of fun!
 
The out-of-town dealer I am talking to now isn't very familiar with the Performance Center delivery option, but is familiar with Euro delivery. I can't see doing it for the price difference on a 3-series. They also say they deliver a lot of cars to Lexington and Louisville. Hmm, I wonder why?
 
I wish Mystic Blue and the "keyless go" system were available now, but the only thing that really concerns me is the run-flat tires. There are currently no all-season 205/55/16 runflat tires sold at Tire Rack, so I'm sure the OEM tire will be the only choice for at least a while, and priced accordingly.
 
Found on another site:

Yeah.. but does that include the school and the overnight? Or, just picking it up at the factory?
 
Either way, it would be cool... I assume you've taken the factory tour? I did.. and really enjoyed it.

From what I can gather, BMW pays for a meal the first night and hotel room for you and a guest, you pick up the car the next day, and they give you a brief driving school run on the skidpad with a similar car (just a taste to get you to do the full driving school later).
 
I can't fathom that they do this without docking the selling dealer's holdback or PDI fee, but haven't heard any official word.
 
I did the factory tour, lots of fun as well. I was amazed at the number of "desk jobs" there, and the overall atmosphere and attention to detail. They really take pride in their work.

Dealer is offering a 2005 325xi with auto premium, cold weather, metallic paint, xenon and floomats for $36,000. I think its too much. Thoughts?

There is a $1500 factory to dealer incentive on the 325xi.. so, in effect, you are getting about $1600 off MSRP.. I'd say there should easily be another $1000 to work with there.. But, that doesn't mean that this particular dealer will bite on that..
 
My local dealer only has one 325xi on the lot... He probably figures someone is going to buy it, no matter what.. Yours might feel the same way..
 
That said, I'd feel better about $34,700 to $35,000...

You are right - that incentive is what was making be believe it was too high. Thanks.

I am looking to lease a new 2005 325i with premium package, leatherette, metallic color, automatic transmission and heated seats. The MSRP for this car is $34, 545 including destination. I got a quote from a north jersey dealer of $30, 200.
Do you think it is a good price?
