Replying to: billphra (Sep 12, 2007 8:46 am) Personally, I think the whole system is broken. What value do the dealers add? Wouldn't it be better if they just had a few regional centers where you could test the cars and order directly from the manufacturer? Cutting out the middleman would save the consumer money and the stress of the whole experience. As is, it's hard to even find many models for a test drive, let alone divining the best price and separating the BS from reality.

I am shopping for a 2007 bmw 328xi sedan color: gray, automatic. I would like to buy it by the end of this month. I would like to know how much I need to pay if I don't use leasing which means I would like to pay in CASH. How much can I negotiate with the dealer? What is a realistic price I can get if I have both cold weather package and premium package OR just weather package only included? OR Should I wait until 2008 model arrive to the US?

| How much should I expect to pay on a 2007 X3 with cold weather package leasing for 24-36 months at 18,000 miles per year? | |

I almost ordered a 2007 328xi in early August and was told when and if it came in in Sept or October that it might arrive as a 2008 model (meaning there wasn't any 07's left). I passed on the deal. Now, September 20th I still haven't seen any pics or heard anything about the 2008 model. Does anyone know why this is? Why would the dealer would tell me I actually may (likely) be getting an 08 if I ordered an 07 in August? I may go back and buy one in a month but can't seem to get a straight answer to these simple questions: 1. If I order a 2007 328xi coupe now will it be a 2007, and, how long before I get it? 2. If it will be an 08, even though I ordered an 07, when will I get it and will it look or be different in any way? Several dealers in NY told me this and do not have the answers to these questions. Any definitive anwers would be helpful. Thanks.

Replying to: muddyy (Sep 19, 2007 9:25 pm) I believe bmw is only producing 2008's now, so it's not possible for you to order a 2007 (I'm not sure why you would do that or care). 2. If it will be an 08, even though I ordered an 07, when will I get it and will it look or be different in any way? Getting your car after your order takes between 6-8 weeks, depending on when you can get a production slot and where your location is. I'm on the west coast and it took 8 weeks from the time I ordered my car. As far as differences, I think there may be a small change to the front bumper although I can't tell the difference. Take a look at bmwusa.com. You can build your own 2008.

Replying to: dan12 (Sep 19, 2007 9:37 pm) quote: "I'm not sure why you would do that or care" Because I didn't want to order a new model year sight unseen. The dealer did not know if there were new colors or new features or a new price; he had no pics and no info at all. In addition, all of the pics and build features on the BMWUSA sight are all 2007 for the 328xi coupe, which is the car I want. So you can't "build' an 08 on their site, in fact, there is nothing on the 2008 328xi coupe anywhere on the web (that i could find). If the dealer has nothing, and the website has nothing, how could I have anything? I would never order a car sight unseen, would you? So you see, I think it's odd to come into a showroom ready to buy a car, and be told "there are no more 07's and it may be a long while before 08's are available, and I don't have a picture or any specs on the 08".
