Re: 2006 330xi (loaded) purchase price [hemanthh] by jeremy_nyc

I just bought one also, 2006 330xi, premium and cold weather package, and I have addded the ipod connection, 36500 miles for 25K with the .9% financing, gray with black interior to replace my c280 4 matic.
 
They have to replace two tires in the back and I found out that they are replacing them with the run flat Bridgestone. I have requested them to put in the Continental run flat instead but they refuse.
 
After hearing all the problems with the run flat, I am a bit worried about the ride. Anybody knows if the "new" Bridgestones have been improved or I should just wait and changed them all to Continental after a few months?
 
thanks for your input.

No runflat feels good on a 3 series, imho. I removed them and put real tires on my car. Did the same with my Cooper.

Congratulations Jeremy.
 
I wish I got the ipod connection. I got the sat nav a part of upping the price from 25k to 26,300 along with all weather mats. I hate the nav. I imagnined it to be larger screen and interated into the dash, but turns out the BMW nav is a small screen monted on top of the dash. It has blue tooth, mp3, traffic feed ability, etc. but I dont need any of that. BMW site says, the nav costs 600+200 installed. The sales guy said it costs 900. Worthless if you ask me. (Curious to see what others think about this)
 
I asked for them to take back the nav and give me ipod and something else even for 600 worth!
 
I will keep the run flats until warranty is over I suppose. I bought warraty for tire and rim btw for 899.

congrats to you too
 
Since the car does not have a CD changer like my Benz and the cost of installing one is way more expensive than the ipod connection, so I just figured that it would make more sense to to the ipod. I can just load as many songs in the ipod as it can take and leave it in the car. Mind you, the ipod control, as far as I know, is not perfect. it does not display the name of the songs and stuff like that, just allowing you to control it from the steering wheel.
 
BTW, I asked about the wheel and tire protection, it is 1500 here, how long is your wheel warranty?
 
I would get rid of the navigation, get yourself a nice portable one for much less money

Just purchased '09 328i in Socal by calvindawhite

'09 328i monaco blue black interior
navigation
auto trans
premium package
xenon
ipod
wheel locks
MSRP: $43130
Got it for $40110 + free rubber mats (90)
Also bought tire insurance for 700. it replaces the entire tire with any kind of damages (nails, scratches etc) for 5 years even at my fault. But after reading things about the run flat tires, mayb I shouldn't have bought it... but oh well.. replacing the tires in 5 years is probably around 700 or more?
 
People on the forum said I could go down more, but I didn't really have anymore time to negotiate more because I needed the car.
 
Got the car with .9% financing.

You expect to get 5 years out of tires? Have you ever owned a RWD car before?
 
Each runflat costs over $200.

My wheel and tire warrant cost me 899. Looks like you got a better deal. I suppose you could ahev gotten a better deal, especialy if you bought on 12/30 like I did or 12/31. No matter. Still a good deal.. MSRP dont meant shit anyways..The dealer will get you on the add-ons if not on the price..We need some regulation here if you ask me Aggravating buying a new car!

You need regulation so people pay the same thing? Some of us like getting better deals than others. You can walk into Best Buy and pay MSRP or you can ask for a 15% discount. I got a cable modem the other day for 40% off by insisting the same thing is available at walmart. It's not the same. Regardless, they didn't check - the manager just approved it.
 
The game is part of the fun.

Good call on the ipod. Who needs cd changers these days..The wheel and tire for 899 is for 5 years. 1500 seems steep. Im in MA. But it is still worth it. My prelude had performance tires and they started to go in like year 4 or 5 or something like that. Replaced tires many times. I used to drive like a nut and roads here are a MESS, so you never know..
 
Im not optimistic about them replacing the nav with other goodies unfortunately oh well..
