winter tire and wheel set by topspin628

Hey guys. I hope this is OK to post (if not I will ask the host where and if I can post this). I just pulled the trigger on a new 5 series and have a winter wheel and tire package from my 3 er which I gave to an ebay store to sell on line. They are Blizzaks LM 22s 16s (the wife just wanted them out of the garage)
  The car was absolutely great in the snow with them.
They made a mistake and said they have only one season on them, it was 2 but the tread wear is still fine- you can see the penny test. Anyway, if someone needs a set check out ebay- I think they started the bidding at around 50 bucks. Personally, I prefer the rwd bmw s with snows to the all wheel drive with all seasons. I went for the sport package on my 5 just as I did on the 3 and I will have to buy another wheel and tire package but I just didn't want to give up the goodies on the sport package- suspension, sport auto, ARS. So I will spend a few extra bucks and get great performance year round for a twice a year hassle vs good handling year round with no tire change.

08 335 sedan: steptronic trans , leather , sport package , hd radio . MSRP 45,550 What would be a fair selling price and should i pay dealer prep or doc fees? Looking to go 24 months and 10-12k miles per year on a lease. What will my payments be? I think the resid is 71-73% and the factor is .00200 base plus whatever the dealer marks it up.

Training fee? by 4rings

I'm looking into an '08 328. Getting good info from the dealer on most points; acquisition fee seems high at $825 but I hear that is dealer's call. Today he tells me that there is a $180 "BMW training fee".
 
Anyone else get this? Is it a junk fee? I guess this is to be expected as we consumers drive for invoice pricing...the dealers have to get their profit out of ad fees and the like.

Help guys. I need any of you who are good at calculating a good lease deal for a 328i sedan.
 
Here's what I about to lease:
 
328i sedan with:
premium package
xenon lights
auto trans.
metallic paint
ipod adapter
 
Retail w/ destination: $39,375
Invoice + destination: $36,360
 
I'm being offered the car $36,900
 
Here's the deal:
(1) ZERO MONEY DOWN
(2) 12K miles per year
(3) 36 months
(4) Monthly payment including tax: $543 per month.
 
Is the above a good deal? If someone can show me their calculations I would be most grateful. I'm going in to the dealer tomorrow in Southern California and getting this car.

Afaik, the training fee is negotiable. The $825 can come down a bit too, maybe around $650. I was quoted the same numbers as you when I was shopping, so it's not unusual.

bmwmrc1,
 
This seems like a very good deal. Is this 07 or 08? Which dealer are you getting this car from? I am also planning to purchase a similarly equipped 328.
 
Thanks.

Does anyone know if they raise the price on 2008 328i? I got a quote for a 2008 328i with auto transmission, premium package, heated seats for $36600.+ TTL. I added up invoice cost of these items from Edmunds.com and is at least $1000 lower. Is $36600 a reasonable price or there are other cost that I'm missing?

Angrymofo, the dealer is Crevier BMW and the car is a 2008.
 
Do you happen to know the calculation formulas to figure out the money factor (I think it's .00160) and the other formulas to consider? It would be greatly appreciated.
