Alright so, heres the deal... I had an AWESOME bmw x5, 4.4i, sport package, x-drive, loved it. It got totaled. SO... while i had the x5 i got a 335 rental and LOVED IT, so i was looking at used 330xi's , 06 and above, to replace the x5 just because i love the way they drive, awesome car, plus the 20/30 is a nice change from my x5s 16/22. I also am intrigued by the 2008 r32's, and used theyre about the same for a lot less milage and more warranty. updated...i just drove one today, and it is AWESOME. totally unexpected, its actually more fun than the 3 series, and im a HUGE bmw fan so thats saying a lot. i even went to the bmw driving school, i think theyre the benchmark. that car was GOOD. so now im thorougly confused... I drove an a4, it was a 06 2.0t, and was really unimpressed (we have a q7 and it did not hold up to the standard set by the q), so im thinking maybe an 05 s4 would be a nice choice and would drive differently, but again, the gas milage... AND, the subaru sounds like an all-around good buy, but i dont know if i can see myself actually getting one. (and possibly, i could look at fx's again, i looked at em when i got my x5, but i kinda wanted to move away from the suv thing, so if i got another one its prob be an x5) if anyone could give my any advice or insight or opinion ill take anything i can get!! thank you guys so much!! please help i cant decide!! ive only driven the 330i, and so far ive set that as a benchmark for anything else i drive... Thanks for the help!!!! |

I just picked up a 2008 328xi BMW with Cold Weather, Premium Package, IPOD USB adaptor, and an Automatic. I purchased in the Boston Metro Area for $38,000 with additional $229 fee for documentation. The MSRP was $41,900. Did I get a good deal considering the 09's are in? Should I have purchased the wheel protection?

looking to lease a 2009 335xi, any thoughts on when the best time to lease is? Would it make a difference to wait for novermber rates or pick up one that's in stock already? Thanks

Replying to: gpova (Oct 15, 2008 3:42 pm) Most feel with leases one should put down the least amount at inception in case, heaven forbid, the car is totaled. Then you lose everything that you already paid.

| Guys, just a suggestion. Ive been reading this thread for a long time and I know every reader and poster is looking for advice and the best deal. If asking advice you should just use the figures: how much plus or minus invoice and the fees and interest. Believe me, NO ONE is interested in going through your deal with a fine tooth comb through every option wholesale vs retail because no one cares about your deal except in general terms everyone understands plus what you did to get the deal, your tactics, rebates given etc. and which dealer so someone else can try to get the same deal. Ive just noticed over the years that your particular deal is generally ignored unless it is generalized for all the readers. In other words when you ask "blah,blah,blah, did I get a good deal?" No one is going to answer unless it benefits everyone. Just my two cents. Save your fingers! | |
