First time BMW buyer here, I'm about to get
 
2006 330i
Monaco Blue/Black Leather
Premium Package
Park Distance Control
Navigation
Satellite Radio
Rear Deck Spoiler
Radial Spoke (Style 196) Tires
 
I live in the Midwest in OK, not by choice, I'm in the military, and I haven't approached the dealer in Oklahoma City yet. That is the only one near me since I live in the middle of nowhere. MSRP price as configured is $46,530. I was thinking of approaching the dealer with a check already made out from the bank for $44,000 straight, and tell him he can take it or leave it. Should I go to the dealer first and haggle??? I've heard that I won't get much of a deal out here in the Midwest, which sucks cause I'm from New Jersey. I could use some advice. Thanks!

2006 330i
selling px=37930 w/ prem pkg, heated seats
leased for 12k/36 mo.
put down 1205.30, including my 1st pymnt of $574 w/taxes
msrp-40170
invoice=36,795
 
could I have done alot better? this price was given to me by a company that leases cars through their own banks, and one of the several dealrs i spoke to was able to match it.
 
Still think I should have gotten the sport package, but didnt want to make this car any more expensive than it is already.

Get what it exactly they way you want, ten weeks goes by rather quickly. My loaded 330i will be here on September 20th! It's like waiting for a new bride! LOL!
 
My .02 cents.

No, I just signed a "Special Order" sheet, not a binding contract. Price is still negotiable. However, I spoke with my salesman today and final price, less tax and license, is $45,300 for:
 
Jet Black
Gray Leather
Steptronic Auto
Sport Package
Active Steering
Heat Front Seats
Park Distance Rear
Active Cruise
On-Board Nav
Satellite Radio
 
Woohoo!

Meangene3, can you tell me the name of that leasing company (that leases through its own banks)? Thanks...

This is for BMWDave..have you checked into the BMW military sales programs? You can get that same 330i at a substantial discount off of stateside pricing. The way i optioned out our BMW's was:
 
Sport Package
Premium Package
Xenon
Navigation
 
Came in at $33000 for each one (coupe and sedan) (discount of $1500 on purchase of second car)
 
Incidentally, sedan is a 325 and there is no major driving dynamic difference Both are manual drive..

Thanks Kandg, but the military sales program is only available if one is stationed overseas at the time of order. I am not overseas, but I will be one day in the future. So I'm stuck here dealings with the Oklahoma Dealerships. I'm still undecided if I should call the bank first or go to the dealerships first. Decisions, decisions!

Vicarious liability - what's the story now?? by timny
Aug 10, 2005 (6:07 am)

The Prez has apparently just yesterday signed into law a bill that will repeal the vicarious liability that leasing companies have used as a reason for hiking up bank fees in states like NY. (I am sure there's a more up-to-date news story out there, but here's the gist: http://www.overlawyered.com/archives/002621.html). Minmally, this means that the typical $900 bank fees we pay in NY -- and that I just paid for the lease on an X3 I've yet to pick up! -- should be at least partially refunded.
 
My BMW dealer says I should expect a refund from BMW. What have the rest of you encountered?

Hey! Ironically, I just posted a message to that effect. Bush supposedly signed the bill into law yesterday. My BMW dealer knew nothing about it, but surely this should reduce the bank fee excused to vicarious liability. The dealer suggested I would receive a refund from BMW -- the bill is supposedly retroactive to Aug. 1 (and wouldn't you know it, I just this past weekend paid the fee for the X3 I am leasing for my wife).
 
What do you think will happen?
