That price sounds like Difeo in Tenafly, they quoted me a similar price for almost similar options,however, their tire insurance is$699.00 which is over Park ave (519) and Prestige (495). The price is excellent!!!

The 06 x3 only comes in the 3.0 SAV model. I believe in previous years there was a 2.5l engine model.

I am curious how much you ended up paying for tire insurance. I am almost certainly getting it due to the runflats and Jersey potholes. They quoted me $495 for 5 yrs at Denville, but this price seems high compared to what I have read people getting it for. The lowest figure seems to be around 300 for 5 years. I am pretty sure it costs them around 200 for the service.

You don't *NEED* to get it, but since you are from Mass (pothole city), I would recommend it. I am probably the last person to buy insurance on any item as I generally feel it is a waste of money, but with these run flat tires, which cannot be repaired without replacement, I think it might be a worthwhile investment. The insurance covers between 4-4500 worth of damage I believe. There is also no deductible. It covers the tire as well as the wheel. If your tire gets a nail in it or such they will replace it with installion/rotation under the policy. The run flat tires are expensive, so 1 fix could nearly pay off the policy.
I believe gap insurance is for leases, but you can ask someone else on here, there are many lease experts. I think most insurance providers give you gap insurance where you would not also have to purchase additional through BMW.

Do you consider residual value from selling price or MSRP?

On MSRP on a 330i, the car was 41645 (includes dest charge). The selling price offered by a dealer was 39,415 and the residual on a 12K 3 year lease was 26,652. If use that number against the selling price, the RV is 67%, which I think is very good.
Opinions?

final number for 325xi ! Am going to get tomorrow. Any comments ?

Guys,
you have been helpful.
Here's what the final deal is
base + auto + metallic + dest + hSeats + sat prep
MSRP = $32800 + $1275 + $475 + $695 + $500 + $75
= $35,820
Invoice = $32,890 (according to Edmunds, not sure this is what dealer actually paid for ?)
selling = $33140
OTD Extras = $1657(5% tax) + $85(DMV reg) + $249(docfee)
= $1991
I am getting Mats, but couldn't get the wheel locks, though tried my best.
BTW, what would it cost for Wheel locks ?
Anything to look for, be aware off, anything that i need to worry about before signing up.
Obviously, i am gonna look in detail of the entire car for any issues caused in transportation, do a test drive, make sure that all what is mentioned are there. Then only i am gonna sign up on any paper or deposit.
This is an entire new experience for a new car, an upgrade from Civic. First car was a brand new 1997 Honda civic, drove out of showroom (loved it, until few weeks before got totalled)
All suggestions are appreciated.

Looks good, I guess they can save you on taxes by adding the DOC fee seperately, but still coming to the same amount over invoice. The wheel locks shouldn't be over $90 installed, or $45 and you can prob put them on with the proper equipment. Make sure all the numbers add up (do on a calculator) and they put your mats on the sales slip too. Push every button, turn on every light. Make sure the car is in alignment, not pulling to one side. Make sure there is no vibration. Check for bumps, scuffs, dents. Do all of this in the morning, when there is sufficient light. Check the engine bay, make sure there are no obvious leaks or imperfections. Take the car on a 10 minute test drive. Have the person going over the car with you, set you personal perferences for seat/mirror/radio/climate control memory. Bring an mp3/regular cd. These are all the things I can think of off the top of my head.
