Replying to: mattr82 (Feb 16, 2006 7:13 pm) I am in Omaha, NE and unfortunately I don't know anyone who has bought a 3 from the local dealer. There is only 1 dealer in the 60 mile radius. But the salesman did say that there was no documentation fee. What other hidden charges could there be? I didn't see any floor mats in the car I test drove. Would I have to pay extra fro the floor mats? If so, that is ridiculous.

Replying to: cobrasumday (Feb 16, 2006 6:37 pm) Can someone, who is familiar with the ordering process (and allocations) works, provide some insight as to whether this is normal… or is my dealer short on allocations and I’m stuck in limbo land until he lands another one? The production number is produced before the order is even placed, so you and your salesperson should have that. (FYI: That is the only way they were able to look up your order and tell you what the status was...) A VIN will be produced right when the car starts production. When you place an order, it does not necessarily immediately go into production. Dealers have assigned allocation for every week. If they already have their allocation filled for the current week or if the current week's allocation has already gone to production, then you'll have to wait until the next round. When a car is marked as "sold" (aka: customer order), then it moves closer to the front of the line and expedited to some degree. FWIW, if you car is allocated for "Week 9" production, then that means it will be completed within the 9th week of the year, which is the week of 2/27-3/3. You'll be amazed at how fast your car may move from "On Order" to "Produced, Not Shipped"... The car can move from "On Order" into production in one day and then the car may only take 2or 3 days to actually build. Patience is the toughest thing when ordering a car. Don't worry... It'll come.

Good morning. I am interested in buying a 325xi through European Delivery. The US MSRP comes out to 35,520 with auto and BMW Assist. I have a few questions: 1. Where are you guys getting your ED invoice prices? I read in an earlier post that they are available on a competitor's website (BF) but I could not find it there. 2. Is there anyone in the NYC area that has negotiated an ED price recently? I see people throwing out 800-1500 over ED invoice, but I'd like to get a feel for whether it's closer to 800 or 1500. 3. What is the typical production time on a 3 series car? I told a salesguy at a dealer that I'd like to travel to Europe in mid-May and he said I should place the order no later than the 2nd week of March. Thanks for your help, Peter

A 325xi is 27,760 + $695 shipping + auto $1210 + BMW Assist 685 + dealer profit $1000 = 313xx. There is no MACO on ED. Be sure if you lease that they work the lease numbers off MSRP. 2. No idea. 3. He's right, place your order by mid march. The sooner you place the order, the better off you'll be as you can specify an exact pick up time. |
