I agree that dealers are dealing now. Just ordered 2008 335i sedan in CT with: 6 speed manual metallic paint premium package sport package cold weather package navigation ipod adapter MSRP $48625 Got it for $44261 + tax, conveyance fee and new reg/plates which I felt was pretty good. Comes out to about $700 under invoice. Accounting for $1210 manufacturer to dealer insentive this leaves $500 profit in dealer's hands plus perhaps whatever they get for me financing thru BMW (by the way it is 3.9% for up to 60m, locked in as long as you order your car by June 30th) Relatively uncomplicated transaction done by e-mail and in person putting two nearest dealers head to head competing for my business. Hope this info helps everyone else looking for a new BMW

Much thanks to dinnu, alexwalex1 for sharing their numbers. I wasn't aware of the $1200 dealer incentive from BMW. I don't think Edmunds has that information either. I've been offered $500 under invoice, now I know why. I still haven't bought it yet--just a little too much over-stressed on my budget

Hi I am in the market to buy my first BMW and my budget is around or below 30K. I was thinking about getting a certified car from BMW to save all the hassle afterward (bad exp with Audi). I checked with some dealers and I am able to find some cars in my price range. I am not able to decide should I go for 2006 330i or 2007 328i. This is what I am getting 2007 328i 15K mike => 29.5K + tax (prem) CPO 2006 330i 25k mile => 28K + tax (prem, xenon, prem sound) CPO Can somebody please suggest me if this is a good price? Which option should I prefer. Both cars are 100K/6 yr warranty. Thanks |

Replying to: abby9 (Jun 20, 2008 6:16 pm) Actually I was offered 30,500 for 328i but it was a list price and Sales guy told me that they can go down by 1000 if I am intested. Infact they have a really upgraded car with (prem, sports, hi-fi sound, xenon etc) and dealer was willing to give that for 32.5K (12K mile and certified). I am still not sure about 330i or 328i. Do you know which should be the better option.

Went to a Pittsburgh area dealer today looking at 335XI. They offered 2K less than the KBB on my trade, and wanted MSRP of  45K, no discount for a 335Xi minimal options. Salesman said that the discount was in the trade value. They did not have a color/option vehicle in stock that I was interested in - so I didnt try to negotiate. All in all this was a pretty disappointing experience. Going to try some other area dealers next week.

Anyone else hear BMW Financing will drop its finance rate to 1.9% for up to 60 months on all new BMWs? 2nd Quarter sales must have hit a record low!!!

wonder if I paid too much? Alpine White/Beige interior Sport Premium Steptronic w/paddles Sat Radio $47195 - Sticker $45250 - Negotiated price $48850 out the door (Florida tax - 6%, Tag- 250, Dealer fee - 599 (no avoiding it) Not that thrilled in light on the $1200 incentive mentioned above (or the 1.9 finance if true - I am at the 3.9) |
