Ms. Mom,
 
I believe you have struck at the heart of the matter. As a figure of speech I may say that I "invested" in some new, upscale home entertainment equipment when in fact I do not literally mean that I "invested" in it, I simply bought it.
 
I put a car in the same category. While I share the common desire not to overpay, I could never rationalize the cars I buy as an investment. I earn income, invest as much as I need to and spend enough to enjoy the bounty this great country provides. Buying a car is included in the spending column.

Beautiful Lady
 
I recently posted a message on a 330xi with an MSRP of $44,070 and invoice of $40,395. The best quote to date after looking at three Chicago area dealerships is $42,850 and free mats (my choice, winter or summer). The only fees not included on that best price is a $57 document fee and a $105 license transfer fee. In addition to the cash price and fees I have to pay 6.75% sales tax.
 
Prior to my decision to buy a 330XI I looked at a Lexus IS 350 and a few Infiniti models. They both carried dealer prep and delivery fees that were not apparent until I asked about them. They ranged from $700 to almost $1000.

I don't have March lease info available yet but how long do you plan on keeping the car? You pay $495 bank fee up front and $250 disposition fee when you return the car. You can lease 3 yrs 10k which should be less than $500 a month.

It was a buy. I drive far too much to lease . Going to be paying cash as there is no 2.9% for 60 month financing being offered in New Jersey.

I would highly recommend the internet sales department at Pasport BMW in Suitland, MD. I recently ordered a 330i w/ nav, sport package, comfort access, and satellite radio. Paid about $1200-1500 over invoice, got him down to base lease rate and acq fee of $750. I know he made a little on the deal, but was very easy to work with and did everything over the internet. All I did was walk in, pick out the color and sign the deal. Was done in 30 mins. It was very enjoyable. I
 
Fees above invoice:
Acq fee - base is $695, dealer can markup as much as $200
tags - $100
Taxes - I rolled them in, but depends on which state you live in.

Thanks for the info - very helpful. Is there a particular individual you worked with there? Also, what color did you get and how do you like the much-maligned idrive? I am debating b/n the black metallic and the graphite (grey) metallic.
