Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 26, 2005 9:16 am) Eureka! I now see the disconnect. My original post said: "The $500 only eats into about 16% of the difference between MSRP and invoice"... mathematically, that would be 0.16 X (MSRP-invoice). I mentioned that the MSRP - invoice part was $3,185... so, 0.16 x 3,185 = 509.6. Or, as in my previous post, 500/3185 = 15.7%. The reason options does make a difference is that if I had just purchased baseline (which, to be clear, I did not) and gotten $500 off, then that would be 500/(32,800-30,030), or 18%. I thought that piece of my original post would be clear in the context of the rest of the information (i.e. I explicitly stated in the sentence before in the original post I was getting $500 off MSRP, not 10% or 15% off MSRP), but obviously not! Boy, I really blew that one... note to self... stay away from posting on the forums! Incidentally, we are talking 325xi here, so that is 2006 325xi baseline (no options/packages/destination charge) MSRP $32,800 Invoice $30,030 By the by, I don't want people to think the MSRP on the 325i is $30,300 (as in your post). Again, effective on orders after July 20, a manfacturer price increase went into effect. As I mentioned in previous post, Edmunds is behind on incorporating this. So, 2006 325i baseline (no options/packages/destination charge) MSRP $30,900 Invoice $28,300 I think both of us have spent too much time on this! Let's just enjoy our rides! |

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Aug 16, 2005 5:16 pm) I agree completely that this is the normal BMW practice. My first Bimmer was an '99 E46 323i, that I loved, but had to sell when I went overseas. Now that I'm back, and after a less than stellar experience with a Mazda 6s, I'm headed back to the driver's promised land...BMW!!! I've driven the E90 and am QUITE IMPRESSED with the level of refinement they've achieved in just a few short years...not to mention they are more fun than ever! The reason I'm writing is that I can't find but scraps of info on the '07 330ci coupe. I'm sold on sticking with the 3 vs the 5 and I really want the coupe. I've seen some cool picks of what the M3 will probably look like...and its beyond sweet; if the standard coupe looks 1/2 as good as what I've seen it'll be beautiful. The problem is that I can't find any info. There are some forums that discussing BMW's indecision on the series designation. They were/are considering creating a new notch for the 3 series coupe, naming it the 4 series (similar to how the 6 series is the coupe version of the 5). However, I've also read that the 3 Series name is too profitable and they've decided to keep it. I guess to make a LONG comment short(er), do you, or ANYONE else, have ANY info on the E90 coupe! The dealer tells me that they are showing a fall '06 delivery for the first production, but I haven't seen a single "legitimate" pic of the new coupe, so I'm hesitant. I know it's still a ways out, but not even Edmunds seems to have any info. Can you, or someone else, enlighten me? |

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 26, 2005 7:58 pm) My offer is $40,280 (below invoice) dealer profit $500 DMV e-file $28 Doc fee $45 License/Reg $336.75 Tax $3,470.13 Total is $44,659.88 The total is less than $44,956 because there are some items that I may want but the dealer said he has to check the prices. Since that's less than $300, I don't really care because I can always not take those items when I sign. I sent him what I wanted, he replied, and gave his quote. Unlike the other two, Peter Pan BMW and Weatherford BMW, slow and arrogant. I asked them both for OTD twice via email, twice they didn't give it to me. Screw them, and I didn't bother to call them, but I called this dealer. I like what I've experienced so far because I don't want to haggle too much with the price , as soon as I gather more input from you guys, I will call the dealer next week.
