Along the same lines though, all the Lexus IS's are auto AWD IS250s, a car that's probably slower than a 10 year old Camry. You raise an interesting question, you weigh these cars down with these options and transmissions and at least in terms of acceleration they're worse than mainstream V6 Altima's, Accords, and Camrys, so why do people pay $10K more for these cars?

Replying to: trewquis (May 22, 2007 4:38 am) Is that worth 10k more, I am not sure. As much as I like my BMW, I had to ask myself a question when options cost more than a Hyundai. WRT the manual transmission availability, let's face it. BMW/MB are more status symbol than ever, and enthusiasts are in the minority. If I had to buy a new BMW, I am ordering it the way I want it and picking it up in Germany. I have not driven the 3-series coupe, but have driven 335i sedan with auto and non-sports, E46 and E36 non-sports models. E46 and E36 both were porky and so unimpressive that I would have never bought a BMW if I had not driven the 530 with sports pkg. However, the E90 model with its RFT and non-sport still performed pretty well. I doubt I would buy without sports pkg, but it was still much better drive than its predecessors. So give it a chance, try to find one (used or new) and drive it.

| I am considering the purchase of an '07 335i(auto) with sport and premium packages. While my brother owns an '06 325i, I am looking for a greater cross-section of individuals with which to converse about any mechanical/electrical problems associated with the new E90 platform. The only problem my bro has reported has been a leak in the sunroof. I would be a first time BMW owner if I decide to purchase it. Thanks in advance. | |

Replying to: jb_shin (May 22, 2007 5:50 am) While we're on the subject, a popular model around here has been the 525xi, how much of a dog is that car? Again it's not just BMW, the auto AWD IS250 screams get out and push. |

I have been offered the following deal. The dealership is offering me $1250 over European invoice on a 2008 BMW 335i Coupe through the European Delivery program. The only option I want is the sport package. There price around $37.9k Is this a fair price for ED. I want to know what is a fair bank fee and lease factor? Also what should the residual be.

Replying to: trusaleen1 (May 23, 2007 5:26 pm) But, if it is truly only $1250 over ED invoice, without any add-ons, it will be a great price..
