Bought a '08 328i convertible, red, auto is the only option in Myrtle Beach, SC for $43,250plus taxes. I think the MSRP was 45,250. Couldnt bring any further down as it was the only car that I could find in the near by location. Each dealer gets 2/3 cars on the 3 series covertible. This model doesnt qualify for 3.9 financing so got only 5.9%. dont know about leasing/residuals
Convertibles (hardtop) seems to b a hot ticket.

a few dealerships in So Cal will match $300 over invoice easily.
 
I got my BMW 328i Monaco Blue with premium package at invoice price. It's hassle free purchase. It only took less than 3 hour before I drove home new Bimmer. They even took my trade-in for Edmunds TMV trade-in price.

Brecth BMW in escondido, CA. Ask for internet department. (can't say salesperson because of the rule) They'll sell BMW 328i ( in the lot ) at invoice price ( including destination fee). Just told them, a guy with wife and baby girl just bought the car last Saturday at invoice price. I don't think we have to pay MACO fee ( not in my invoice anyway). Pretty professional and easy to work with. My car was in detailing when we arrive ready to go. Everything is done over the phone and fax.

Might be picking up a 328i sedan within the next 4 days by treadstone71

Hi Folks,
 
I'm planning on buying a new daily driver before the end of this year and was thinking of a Infiniti G35 sedan, but am now thinking of checking out the 328i sedan just to compare.
 
Here's exactly what I'm looking for:
328i sedan
Monaco / black
Steptronic transmission
MSRP (including destination)=$34925
Invoice (including destination)=$32225
TMV (including destination)=$34043
 
That's it, I'm looking for essentially the cheapest 328i possible (plus automatic and metallic paint).
 
I live in the Bay Area, CA area. I'm willing to drive up to two hours away to get the car for the right price.
 
So my questions:
1) Will it be difficult to find the car I've described in stock (without all the extra usual options that are shipped with most cars)?
2) What can I expect to pay for this? The max I'm willing to spend is $32800 ($575 over invoice)...does this sound doable with the dealerships within a 2 hour driving radius around the Bay Area, CA?
 
Thanks in advance for reading this and for any responses.

nacho, I've now had the car a little over 2 months and it's fantastic! At first I was concerned about going smaller (I owned a 2003 525i), but the interior of the new 3 is almost the same size. My 5 had the premium and sport package, but I don't miss having the sport package on the new 3. I think the car handles beautifully and the acceleration is more than ample. I decided not to go with the 335, which was like a rocket ship. The 328i especially in sports mode is more than quick and the car handles like a dream. I'm so glad I decided to get another BMW (my third). I almost, almost switched to a G35 or Acura TL, but they just didn't have the refinement of the BMW. Yes, they had more horsepower, but they did not handle as well and their 6 cylinders were just not as buttery smooth as the Bimmer.
 
if you haven't done so already, I highly suggest you make your own comparison and drive all three cars, and then drive the 328 vs. 335. If you want the quickest and best one in the lot, I would go with the 335. But if you're looking for refinement, great handling and more than ample acceleration, you can't go wrong with the 328.
 
I hope this helps.

I think it's pretty easy to find Monaco or Black color on 328i. Many dealers will stock common color and both color are common. Although many dealers will stock extra items. I recently saw Monaco with steptronic tranny but we chose Monaco with premium package.
 
$575 over invoice is very doable. Costco, Sams Club or AAA program will get you $500 over invoice. I just purchase 2008 BMW 328i at invoice price.
 
I suggest you to email few dealerships via Edmunds and they'll call you. I think this is the best time to buy since dealers want to clear their inventory.
 
good luck.
