My initial impression is that the stereo system in the 330i is very good. I can crank up the volume on the radio stations fairly high without distortion. Sirius (when I get it going) and CDs (when I try them) should be even better. I haven't noticed any volume info in the radio display to let me know how relatively high or low the volume is.

I am in the market for a 3 year/12k miles lease on a 2006 330i with Auto, Premium, and Cold Weather. The info in these forums has been invaluable for my initial negotiations with dealers in my area (Minneapolis) and I don't know what I would have done without you all. A big THANK YOU in advance to everyone who contributes here. I look forward to passing on the details of my deal once I close. My question is to do with the September Lease program. What is the base Money Factor and Residual in my case? I have been quoted .0028 and 62% by one dealer and .00254 and 57% by another. Also how much off MSRP can I expect to get given that there are only two dealers in the Twin Cities area? |

I placed an order back in July for a 2005 330CI performance package, manual transmission, premium, heated seats, and rear sunshade. I was told by the internet sales department that he would submit the lease at the end of July and lock in the lease offer with BMW for 60 days. The MSRP of the car was 46,045.00. The dealer was taking $2,100.00 off of the MSRP. The selling price would be $43,945.00. At the time I was quoted a lease payment of $516.00 a month with $5,000.00 down for a 36 month lease with 12K a year for miles. At the time the money factor to the best of my knowlegede was equal to 3.2 %. I spoke with the dealership yesterday and the lease paperwork had not been submitted but he told me that BMW has incentive money on the vehicle which will lower the selling price of the vehicle to $39,920.00. The lease rates have changed for Sept. for the 330CI and the money factor has increased to 7.5 %. My lease payment has gone down to $514.00. I am now considering purchasing the car instead of leasing due to the selling price. |

Hi guys, I am just negotiating with the dealer about a new 2006 bmw 325i. the msrp is 36,000( this is the price before Sep.1, which should have risen by $600 after Sep.1. ), and the invoice is 33,030 ( also should have risen by $546). NOw the dealer can give me a $1,500 discount. Is it a good deal? If not, what number is a good number for me? Thanks!!! |

Replying to: gaussd (Sep 07, 2005 11:13 am) The problem I've run into is that several dealers around here (Bay Area) are owned by Auto Nation. I would email two different dealers and the one further away would refer me back to the one closest to me (since they are sister dealerships) -- this makes it much harder to negotiate between dealers. Any suggestions as to how a better deal can be found? |

Replying to: spicy320 (Sep 07, 2005 2:50 pm) The dealer referring you back to the local dealer sounds like an anti-trust violation. Essentially what they are saying is that they control the market here. BTW, the $500 over invoice on a 2006 3 series is an awesom deal. Do you have a trade in or a lease they are padding up?

Replying to: davidd3 (Sep 06, 2005 10:56 am) The saga continues .... I am no longer driving around on dealer plates, but I still am awaiting the SIRIUS install, my trunk liner, my emergency road-side kits (did they come with your car), and now an ALARM. For the price we pay, these inconveniences shouldn't be. The stereo on the 330 is good ... it's the upgrade, I think. Put my first scrape on the car ... underside of the front bumber, when I got too close to a curb!

Replying to: timny (Sep 07, 2005 5:45 pm) I haven't tested my alarm yet. I'm going to check it now. Sorry about your scrape.
