Hello all, new to the board.
 
I am looking to lease a 2006 BMW 325i. Here is the lowest offer from my dealership in NY.
 
2006 BMW 325i - 24 month/20,000 miles
Black/Black leatherette
Heated front seats
Manual trans
 
$399.00 per month (including taxes)
$2300.00 total out of pocket (including 1st month, TTL, and all fees).
 
Is this a good deal or can I do better??
 
Thanks,

MACO is a BMW advertising fee, that is on the dealer's invoice.. (the dealer has to pay it to BMW, when he buys the car from them).
 
It varies by locality.. generally between $200-$450..

Passport BMW is one of the best around and is right near you in Marlowe Heights (301) 423-8400.
 
Tischer is also good. They are in Laurel. BMW of Arlington (used to be Heishmann's) on Rt 1 in Alexandria just south of the airport has been there forever and is very good.

Lead time for ED? by wco81

Going to London in July and Berlin in Sept. Flights to Munich from either location is cheap and short, time-wise.
 
How much in advance do I need to order to pick up? Any chance the 2007 will be available for ED pick up in early Sept?
 
Also, I know you can drop off in Paris or various other locations. Is it true someone just drives it back to Munich? What would be the gas and toll cost to drive it to Paris?

Negotiating for New 325i by peachy810
Feb 23, 2006 (11:38 am)

I've been following these forums for some time now, and they've been very helpful (and entertaining). I spent a couple of months trying to decide between 325i and Lexus IS250. Now I know I definitely want the 325i, so I've started negotiating for it, mainly in Atlanta area.
 
Titanium Silver/Gray/Burled Walnut
Premium Package
Auto Trans
Sirius
MSRP $36,840 (includes Destination)
 
Am discussing with 5 dealers, 3 by email, 2 where I actually visited and test-drove more than once. One offer (Jax, Fl) was $1,000 off MSRP plus free floor mats. Wow.
One from Atlanta will go $1,400 off MSRP. (Didn't mention floor mats.) Another, also in Atlanta, says he will go $500 over dealer invoice! Now I'm getting interested. I'm waiting for him to send me an exact breakdown of all costs, because I suspect there's something extra he's going to tack on.
 
All BMW dealers in my area seem to charge $399 for Documentation. When I kept questioning one, he admitted that it was "extra dealer profit". So even if the last guy's offer of $500 has no other costs attached, that means I would still be paying $899 (500 + 399) over dealer invoice. And, actually, that doesn't seem too bad to me.
 
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

just custom order my 330i on 13th. won't get to the production until first week of march. the long wait is killing me. have to wait 8 to 10 weeks.
got mine at 38200, around 41350 out of door in So. Cal. 1000 over dealer's invoice, 1400 over edmunds' invoice. 2000+ below MSRP. could have gone to somewhereelse, but the dealer offers good service and is close to my place.
 
Arctic
Comfort Access
Nav
Aluminum Trim (i hate wood trim to death, one of the big reaons drive me away from lexus IS 350)

I think $900 over would be a great deal.. If they are quoting an amount "over invoice", you can be pretty sure they will add an advertising fee (MACO) on there... Still.. would be a great deal..
 
Check out Edmunds.com and know what the invoice is ahead of time...
 
Good luck,

Need verification on information on '06 330i lease by clickity

Just got off the phone with my dealer. I have a 04 325 that I'm ready to turn back in for the lease end. I'm looking to lease a new 06 330i. Here's the car I'm looking at:
 
330i black/black
premium
sport
auto/step
navigation
heated seats
comfort
sirius sat radio
 
MSRP is $45,965
Invoice is $42445
Chargeing me $800 over invoice
Purchase price is $43,295
 
He quoted me for 24 months at 12k miles per year. The drive offs are $1,841.75 and monthly payment is $559.21/mo.
 
Is this the best deal I can get or should I ask for more? He said the deals on the 330i are better than 325i right now. A 325i with same exact options (msrp of $42,965 and my price of $40,520...(39,670 invoice+850)) is 584.53/mo for 24 months and same drive offs. I couldn't believe it's $25/month cheaper to drive a better and more expensive car.
 
Can someone verify this to be true and if the deal on the 330i is good? I'm a returning bmw customer and want to make sure I'm getting the best deal especially since I'm a returning "loyalty" customer (and have lease 3 bmw's to date).
 
thanks.
