I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and am looking to special order a 2009 335 Coupe (for purchase, not lease). I want a manual trans where inventory is very limited so that's why I probably need to special order. My question is, how much should I pay over/under invoice given the market conditions. One dealer offered $1000 over invoice. I might consider doing European Delivery if the savings are significant. If I did that I wouldn't have any time for a vacation so it'd be just to pick up the car and maybe spend 2 days max.

I went to the dealer today to look for the 2008-335 convertible. The MSRP is 59,900. They offered me 54,400. Is it the good amount to buy or can it be lower? The car is fully loaded but it is already been at 3000 Miles: (pine white exterior and red interior) 6-SPEED STEPTRONIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DAKOTA LEATHER SEAT TRIM STANDARD PAINT PREMIUM PKG SPORT PKG COLD WEATHER PKG ACTIVE STEERING PADDLE SHIFTERS HEATED FRONT SEATS BRUSHED ALUMINUM INTERIOR TRIM REAR PARK DISTANCE CONTROL DVD-BASED NAVIGATION SYSTEM |

You shouldn't be driving a high-powered BMW. You should be in a Cadillac with leopard-skin mud flaps. If you're going to buy anyway, I wish I was your salesperson. I bet he's dreaming about your check. 'nuff said. |

Picking up a new 335 this weekend, Any thoughts on window tint. I live in AZ, so the heat blocking effect seems beneficial. They are offering me 2 options. One is a ceramic tint  $369.00. They also talk about a new “platinum-nano-cool” that keeps even more heat out and is darker $769.00. I don't know anythng about this new tint. Any information or thoughts? Thanks!

I just bought an 09 328i, my first bimmer---and what a beauty!!! I had always driven the Japanese stuff, but after I test drove this car I immediately knew I just HAD to have it. I love the car but didn't care much for the arrogant and snooty sales people (went to all the dealerships in my local area and they were all the same). I'm in south Florida BTW. Anyway, I got: premium package automatic xenon metallic paint heated seats ipod adapter Edmunds TMV priced the car at 43,320 (but thats because they are adding on the cost of the leather, even though it is already included in the premium package) The BMW website has the MSRP with at 41,665. I'm not much of a negotiator when it comes to these things but I did some research here on Edmunds and a couple other sites before I went to buy the car, and every source I looked into came up to approximately the same price as Edmunds. Had to really haggle with the dealer to get him to come down to $39,650---which he very begrudgingly agreed to. None of the other dealers I talked to offered a significantly different price, but I'm wondering if I could have done better. I did get the 0.9% financing deal but I still feel as though I overpaid. Thanks for your comments.

Hi, My lease on my 2006 325i is set to end in January and I am looking to either lease or buy another 3 series. I have priced out both a 328i and 335i sedan. Here are the details: 328i MSRP - $44345 Invoice - $40820 335i MSRP - $49045 Invoice - $45155 Before starting my negotiations, I would like to get a general idea of what would be considered a great deal. Should I be aiming to pay below invoice? If not, how much above invoice would be considered a great deal. I paid ~$400 over invoice on my last BMW but I am wondering if I can get a better deal this time. I am located in the DC metro area. Thanks.

One bar has the silver sticking out on the side about an inch, and the other one is almost flush. Im assuming the shorter one goes in the front? Dont know for sure though...any help would be greatly appreciated i might need to use them this weekend
