I asked my dealer about MSD X7 and about lowering the MF by .007. He told me that if I did that, they would have to bump my MF to the standard rate of .00195 then reduce it by .007 instead of my locked in April rate of .0014. Is this true?

2007 BMW 335 and 328 Convertible Price Wanted by elizn21

Please let me know what is the price that you bought for your BMW 2007 convertible. Were you able to get at the invoice or below the invoice price?
  
I went to the dealerships this weekend to check out the price and some of the them were quoting me outrageous price. One of the dealers was quoting me $5K to $10K above the MSRP due to new model while another was quoting me $1000 less than the MSRP price. I think about of them are high.

I doubt you can get the 328i vert (even worse the 335i vert) for invoice. I follow so many bimmer forums and the best I've seen is around $1400 over invoice for 335i vert.
 
Caveats:
1) don't know if the guy had a trade in, which is another money maker for dealer
2) if MACO/prep/training fees are already included in that $1400 over invoice.
3) hey this is internet somebody can claim whatever.
 
My local dealer strictly said not much wiggle room on vert, but more on sedan. This is on 335i, also 328i has more discount as well.

Purchasing 2007 328i by jenno2

I appreciate all the information on this site regarding leasing a BMW. However, given my high mileage requirements, I will be purchasing my new car. I have searched through most of the posts here, and they all seem to center on leasing. Are there any specific posts discussing purchase prices? Thanks very much.

RUN FLAT TIRES by jlettie2

Has anyone tried negotiating with the dealership on some sort of trade removing the run flats and replacing them with 5 michalen Pilot sport PS2's a rim and a jack.
Try to receive some sort of credit for the runflats and paying additional cash. Manufactures who use run flats, there sales have declined, especially the Lexus SC430

I also wonder why most of the talk I find regarding BMW on various forums focuses on leasing rather than buying. Do most BMW owners tire of their cars quickly or are good purchase deals just not available?

Becoming a BMW Owner Again? by canman1971

Hey guys, I'm a former owner of a 323i, which I traded for a FJ Cruiser, but now that I realized my gas and payments are too much, I'm coming back to BMW. Basically I'm asking for opinions. I'm getting a 325IT Wagon. I'm getting it for 22000, give or take a few dollars. So, what I'm wondering, is this a good deal? They are giving me 29000 for my Cruiser, which I know is a bit of smoke and mirrors. I only owe 14000 on my car. So I'm only financing 8000. The car is also under factory warranty until Sept '08 or 50000, which it currently has 37000. I loved my other one, but got rid of it due to my large dogs. So I figured a compromise with the wagon, and it being 4 years newer would be the smart play. Any opinions? Good deal? Bad Deal? The KBB is 25500 with the options. It is also local with one owner and checks out clean on carfax.

Every lease deal starts with a purchase price of the subject vehicle. If you look into those posts regarding lease, you will find the pricing information. Price also depends on regional market condition. For 2007 328i sedan, a price of $500 over dealer invoice is a good target, which should be fairly common in markets with healthy competition, such as SoCal. As Summer approaches, the price should get better with 2008 models around the corner.

I used to be a firm believer that leasing actually costs more. However, with its low MF and high residual, BMW's subsidized lease deal changes the dynamic. For example, my 328i sedan lease signed in March had a MF equivalent to 1.82% interest rate. The rate is slightly higher in May, but still just over 2%. I would have to keep the car over 7 years to bring the average monthly cost to below the payment of 3-year lease. This is assuming a 5% cost of fund (loan rate) and not including the cost of extended maintenance/warrantee to 6-yr, 100k miles. To me, leasing is the logical way to go for a BMW.
 
I was also considering Infiniti G35. Had I chosen it, I would have purchased it out right instead of leasing, because Infiniti's MF and residual were not favorable.
