Regarding which dealer i went to:
 
I went with Weatherford BMW in Berkley.
BMW of San Francisco was in the running to. Both met each others price.
 
We brought in emails of specs and quotes. Both wanted evidence of each others lowest deal.
 
Good luck and plse let me know how it went

Best of luck with your wife's new ride! I think you got a good deal. I would have passed on the tire/wheel insurance.
 
BTW, you got in just in time because they are raising their prices 2.1% for all models in October.
 
Regards,
OW

Thanks, OW. Your opinion means a lot.
 
We picked up the 328xi late this afternoon. It looks great and rides even better. The inline 6 is so smooooth! Still, I wouldn't give up the turbo 6 in my 335xi! I can't wait for the break-in period to end as this car loves to rev. It gets to 4000 RPM in a heartbeat. That's where the sweet spot really begins. My wife said she'd miss her old '95 318ti (which still looked awesome), but it faded into a memory within a mile of the dealership.
 
Everyone should own (or at least drive) a BMW at some point. But be warned - it spoils you quickly!
 
Happy trails,
 
xeye (times 2!)

2008 328i sedan Jet Black/Black by newbimmer

Paid $39K for premium, nav, sport, heated seats, Sirius, auto, paddle shifters, ipod. MSRP was $43K ($43.6K on edmunds with the June 1st price increase), invoice $40.1K.
Car was already on the lot, had been there for several months. Bought the paint and interior protector for $590 since I have a big dog that will be riding inside and they said it would cover any swirl marks that are sure to appear on the Jet Black paint. Also bought the maintenance package to 100K/6years for $1900. In retrospect, maintenance was probably a bad decision unless we push 100K miles in the next 6 years, but I put $0 down at .9%. At least I am covered for future expenses and can get my moneys worth out of the brake pads.

The 318ti was traded in. We just don't have room for three cars. For someone who can do some relatively minor repairs (passenger window needs to be re-mounted, possibly some welding inside the door panel, the remote mirrors aren't remote anymore but they are intact, the wipers have intermittent and frantic as speeds), it's an ideal car. Let's just say that whoever buys the car is likely to get a very, very good deal at auction. Blue book value doesn't amount to much because of the age and miles in spite of the life still in the car. We figured another 100K miles for someone with the tools and knowhow.
 
The new one looks really good in black sapphire in the morning sun. Funny how we only noticed how good the interior of the 318ti looked as we were on our way to put it out to pasture.

2007 335i 35,800 too good to be true? by fanaticfather

It's a certified used 2007 blk/blk 335i. Clean carfax report. Sport, Premium, paddle shifters. 5700 miles. Haven't actually seen the car but dealer says it's in perfect cosmetic condition.
 
Is this too good to be true?
 
Thanks

Check out the kbb trade-in value on that car.
 
There is still wiggle room. Assuming someone owned it - carfax will confirm - the dealer probably gave the owner 29-30k for it. If the dealership bought it at auction they probably paid 30k.
 
I'd try for 31-32k and still be happy with 33k.

3 series incentives after Labor Day weekend? by dfwhonda
Aug 26, 2008 (8:33 pm)

Anyone have any idea whether BMW will continue the 0.9% financing on '08 models following the upcoming long weekend? I'm in the market for a manual 335i, and have found a couple here in Dallas. I'm receiving a little bit of timing pressure from the dealers in respect of the incentive financing which is only available (at least as advertised) through 9/2/08. Any guesses what the last quarter of '08 will bring in terms of incentives?
 
I know the '09 prices are increasing, so I wonder whether BMW may just tell potential purchasers of a 3 series that the "lower" price of an '08 is a bargain in and of itself.

I found a 2008 335i with 5700 miles. Sport, heated seats. I can't find info on either kbb or edmunds as to a fair price for this. It was a dealer service car. no cpo. dealer's asking 40, 995. Any idea what a fair offer would be?
 
Thank you.
