I am looking to purchase a 335i coupe and wanted to get an idea of how much discount bmw buyers are receiving from MSRP. I've contacted one of BMW dealership and they are offering $500 off MSRP. Is this a competitive offer?
 
Here are my added options:
-Space Gray Metallic
-sports package
-cold weather package
MSRP $43,520 (destination included)

Confusion by wbb56

My local dealer says the MF for this is .0075; said it was .0065 last month. Is this right? He's also saying that the lease rate that BMWUSA posts on their website ($487-before taxes-on a $49k+ 525i) is not correct--that you have to taxes (which I understand) and fees? (which are $200+/month?! I've told them several times that I've seen deals all over the country with the lease payment (with multiple security deposits added on a 36 month lease) from $462-500/month. I am negotiating a 525i that is in stock--MSRP is $51k. Negotiated price at this time is $49,250. I'm in North Carolina--what should I ask for/expect? Have the lease deals changed dramatically for February?
 
Thanks again!!

Just checked with the dealer. Turns out it was wishful thinking. Dealer says there are no lease specials whatsoever on left over 2006 convertibles, like there was in December. (but they would give a little off of sticker)
 
Moneyfactor would be the standard .035. The payment on the left over 2006 M3s with a MSRP of $61K less a $5000 discount =$56K , would be around $1100 a month.(not counting license and tax)
 
It may be a lukewarm deal if you wanted to purchase, but these have now been sitting on the lot for over a year so we are now in used car territory. And used M3s still depreciate like normal cars so the purchase price would need to be closer to $53K to get me interested.

If I were looking to buy a new BMW convertible, I would wait a little longer. The new 335 vert is on the way and its performance is within spitting distance of the M3's. They've got to clear off the old model before the new vert arrives or they might as well start using them as service loaners (75hp deficit, smiliar price, fewer features = tough sell).
 
I have an 04 330 CiC and I love it, but I'm bored. If my wife would stop screaming every time a mention the Corvette, I'd buy another C6, but I'm not holding my breath on that. Anyway, I'd expect huge discounts on the e46 verts when the new one hits the lot.

I forgot to include:
Zero down.
Zero deposit, because I'm a current bmw customer.
But I have to pay the acquisition fee plus tax upfront in cash. They insisted on charging me $825 instead of the normal $625 for the acq. fee.
Can I negotiate further?
 
Thank you!

MACO is some kind of advertising; and the other fee $180 is for employee training for the new bmw cars. That's what I was told.
