I copied and pasted the below from BMW's official website, bmwusa.com
I am not sure what your point is now...are you saying BMW is inflating prices on their official site and Edmunds is on target? Maybe you should re-read my original post...I said "All Packages"...you left off "Cold Weather Package" on your previous post.

Mystery solved. Indeed I didn't think of the cold weather package, so the two prices correspond now. The reason I posted all the options I thought you included was precisely to ensure we are on the same page. No, Edmunds' option prices should be the same as the BMW's official prices on its website.
I was simply trying to help you derive an accurate price (both sticker and invoice) for you to know exactly how much you are paying. Of course the less the better as a consumer. Paying around $1,000-1,200 above invoice is very good price in my opinion, although some posters had as low as $500 above invoice. It may depend on where you live and the availability/demand of the car.

What are your thoughts on this offer?
 
What are the residual values and money factor for a 36m/10k lease? What should the monthly payments be with no money down? (Sales tax rate = 8.8%)
Thank you in advanced. These forums are extremely useful.

Anyhow, bought my E90 with the following options:
 
Spark Graph
6-spd Manual
Sports Package
Premium Package
Heated Seats
Sat Prep
BMW Assist
 
Total Price: $40,500
OTD Price: A little south of $43,00 after tax, title, license, etc.

The price looks okay...
 
Residual is 64% and the money factor is .0025
 
With the acquisition fee rolled in, and only 1st payment and security deposit upfront, the payment would be about $445/mo. + tax...

sr4b1,
 
South Bay BMW offered me an 06 330i for $900 over invoice but that doesnt include an additional $330 for "advertising fees".
 
'06 330i ($36,600 / $33,485)
Metallic paint ($475 / $430)
(205) Automatic ($1,275 / $1,210)
(ZPP) Premium Package ($2,200 / $2,000)
(ZSP) Sport Package ($1,600 / $1,455)
(322) Comfort Access ($500 / $455)
(417) Rear Sunshade ($575 / $525)
Destination ($695 / $695)
 
(MSRP / Invoice) = $43,920 / $40,255.
 
Internet Price = $40,255 + $330 advertising + $900 = $41,485
which is $1,230 over invoice, or $2,435 off MSRP.
And they would order the car for me too since my color wasn't in stock.
I've seen comments on previoius posts that advertising fees are "negotiable" too.
 
My dilemma is 330i versus GS300 (or next year's GS350?). Too many choices ...

Advice and/or Comments PLEASE!! by feistylegal

Any thoughts or comments regarding the offer below are very much appreciated.
 
Specifications: 330i
Metallic Paint
Black Leather/Aluminum Trim
Manual Transmission
Comfort Access
Premium Package
Satellite Prep
Heated Front Seats
Sport Package
 
MSRP: $42,575
Internet Price = 40,889.20
Dealer Doc Fee = 399.00
Subtotal = 41,288.20
7% tax (Atlanta) = 2,890.17
Tag and Title = 38.00
GA Lemon Law Fee = 3.00
OTD: $44,219.37
 
 What should the monthly payments be with a 36m/10k lease and 2k down? (Please include whatever interest rate you used to calculate the payments). In addition, the dealer told me I would have to put down a non-refundable deposit of $1000.00 to order the car. So, if I take possession of the car after it is ordered, what does the 1k go towards, if anything?
 
Thanks in advanced for all of the advice and information!
