I'm just guessing, but there were probably decent 24 month lease incentives on the the 325i when you got yours two years ago..
 
Not only are lease rates higher (along with all interest rates), but BMWFS no longer has cheap 24 month leases on the 325i.. The residual is only 9% higher than the 36 month lease, and the money factor is actually higher..
 
To get any kind of comparable rate, you'll probably have to go for 36 months... and even then, it will probably be $100/mo. more..

Performance Center Delivery..
 
They put you up for a night in a local Greenville hotel.. feed you dinner... Deliver your car the next morning, then give you a car control class and let you drive their car on the track..
 
All for no extra charge... pretty sweet deal.. If I lived as close as you do, I'd do it. Even if I bought locally.. But, you have to order.. They won't send a car down that is already on the lot..
 
regards,

The NY dealer charged me $200 for new tag, which is about $140 more than what would cost me in Florida, as I would continue to use my existing tag. But provided that the lease amounted to about $100 less per month, this was a no-brainer.
Considering your lease deal with a Fla dealer, just be careful for them not to apply the usual boosted acquisition fee (in Miami it is $825 instead of $625) and especially not the higher MF, which actually can make the monthly lease price fairly higher (about $25 per month in a 2-year lease if they increase the MF for a maximum amount that BMW FS allows them to do, and what they do here in Miami very, very often).
If you need any help, let me know (see my profile).

Thanks for all your help. I will not be leasing however, just a straight purchase. I have a long commute to work and put 20K miles+ on a car every year. So leasing is not really a viable option. It seems like that puts me in the minority on most of the BMW forums. Not sure why really... I guess a lot you guys like to get a new Bimmer every couple of years. I might end up like that too after owning one. Who knows? I'll let you know in a couple of years.
 
I think I can probably get this deal done with one of these dealers for about $1K over invoice. This will be my first Bimmer and I'm pretty psyched about it. I'm looking forward to a lot of fun driving. Thanks again for your help.

Marketing Support? by selm

Last year BMW threw marketing support on the e46 sedans to sell them once production switched over to the e90 (Jan - May 2005). Now that the production for the coupes will be switching to the e92 shortly, is there any word about BMW throwing support on the e46 coupes? I know no one can predict the future, just wanted to get everyone's best guess.

I just picked up my 330i at South Bay BMW over the weekend that I ordered in February. I got:
330i
Monaco Blue Metallic
Premium Package
Navigation
Steptronic
Heated Front Seats
Sirus
Comfort Access
Floor Mats
 
Invoice: $41,090 + $330 MACO
Price: $42,220 = $800 over invoice + MACO
 
I think I did pretty good.
 
I e-mailed 3 dealers asking for quotes: New Century, Pacific & Long Beach and I countered New Century/Pacific. New Century came back the cheapest (just under $800). I then went to South Bay near my house and they matched the $800 over invoice target I had with just a bit of hemming and hawing.
 
Hope this helps. Good Luck

According to Edmunds, at $34K you are about $1085 over invoice. I know in some parts of the country people are occasionally getting $500 over invoice, but I'd say take the deal. I'm not sure what the market is like in Maryland, but down here in Florida I worked pretty hard with 5 different dealers to get to $1K over invoice and felt like that was the best I could do. I'm ordering mine tomorrow for a PCD in South Carolina. Good luck with your deal. Hope it all works out for you.

6 Disc Changer by getwired

Hi All,
 
Since the 6 disc changer is a dealer installed option, I was wondering what people out there are paying for this option installed. Personally, I find it odd that I add a $1300 upgraded sound system and don't get a 6 disc changer (like Audi), but oh well... Your experiences are welcome!
