Sorry, but I do not have any information on 2005 330ci selling prices and/or the current leasing program for that model.

Shouldn't the dealer be motivated to dump these cars since the new body style will be out in 6 months or so?
 
The 2006 3-series coupe and convertible will be out in October, but they will be the same old body style and engines. The updates won't be made until the 2007 models.

Does anyone else think it is a bit odd that BMW would redesign the sedan and then wait so long to redesign the coupe? I wonder if the 2 door sales have suffered because some might be willing to wait for the new one.

not odd at all. it's how bmw does it. as long as i can remember the sedan bodystyle comes out first, then the coupe, then the convertible and finally the M. the e36 and e46 came out this way.
 
the 5 series popped up and then 6 series came next.
 
You must keep in mind, sedans make up the lion's share of the sales.
 
Additionally, everybody in 04 knew the e90 was coming in 05 as an 06. It's not like companies sneak a new model out.

did you haggle this price down or was it just what they had offered you?

That is IRONIC! BMW of Greenwich is where I am buying, too. I had shopped at Westchester and Pace, but Greenwich beat the others out in pricing.
 
They confirmed the lowered acquisition fee for me, too. Yahoo!!

Seems like a good move. The upgrade continues to provide zero-cost oil-changes, brakes, etc?

The deposit is only that -- you should be able to get a "refund". Shop out the car elsewhere. If you get a better price, take steps to get your deposit back. (that might even result in the original dealer offering a better package). And what's up with 2 months? Especially if you are paying a higher amount, the car should be there much, much earlier.

And that's hardly our first coincidence! To mention another, our wives are Howard Stern fans who had to have Sirius satellite radio.
 
I gather that you live in Westchester County, parts south. I also live in Westchester, but parts north.
 
I hope that you are working with an experienced salesperson there. In my case, although I was referred to a sales manager in the first instance, he wasn't there on the occassion of my first visit. A rookie helped me out in his absence. Little did I know I'd be stuck with him. He's a very nice guy, but he's given me some incorrect information and he is slow to respond to my questions. When he doesn't know the answer (which is often the case), he has to check with someone before responding. Then he says that the person he has to check with is on vacation, too busy, etc. Strings me along for a week. I'm a laid back guy, but I'm getting annoyed. I don't like being in this limbo position in between order and delivery, where responding to my inquiries is not a priority.
