Price and option question by cch9455

Hey guys,
 I am a newbie to this board but have found the posts very helpful. I am ready to pull the trigger on a 2007 with the following" Sport, PP, Heated front seats, Satellite, Automatic. 1st offer by dealer was about 1700 over which seems high.
Question1. Is premium sound well worth it?
Question 2. Is the active steering a must? I drive to and from work highway 30 miles each way and will have kids i the car on the weekends so not driving the autobahn!
 
Thanks

I just got my 2007 525i and love the premium sound. I did not get the CD player, but only the Logic7 speakers. I got the Satellite radio so didn't want the CD.
 
I did not get active steering, so cannot comment on it.
 
Re the price, I got quotes from 5 local dealers and went back to the closest dealer who beat the best quote by $100. The amount over invoice was $1080. I feel like it was very competitive.

I was quoted $795 to have it installed here in Houston by the dealer for a 330i. Same logic on the labor but lower cost. Dont know if that is because its a 3 series vs 5 series

I am looking to buy a Olivine Green 525Xi with auto transmission and heated seats- nothing else. Am willing to wait for delivery or can arrange to do European Delivery. Any idea as to a best price? How much under MSRP should I target? Am in tri-state area. Thanks.

Is this a good price for 530i? by fm1

Hi Guys,
 
I live in Dallas area. I am thinking to order 530i with the following options:
Auto/Pre. Pkg/Sport/Logic7/Park distance
MSRP is $55970. The best I could find so far is $53170. I would like to know if this is a good deal or I should keep on looking? I would appreciate if someone tell me any city in the South good for purchhasing BMW.
One other question, last year BMW offered tax credit(no sales tax). Any idea, if this program will be available this year? Thanks.

Sport Pack by funguy92

Personally, for my taste, I alway avoid the sport pagackage. While this package has some attractive features the car rides very, very stiff - again, in my option.
 
I have a friend who has a used car lot and he lets me drive all kinds of import. I drive them on business trips of 6 to 8 hours each. the sport pack is not a problem if you just driving around town but boy when on a long trip driving a sport pack BMW is like driving a F250 or 2500 pickup truck
 
good luck as everyone has different taste...

Okay deal. That is $1470 over invoice of $51,700. I have seen others on the board that got $800 - $1000 over. If you don't mind paying around $500 - $900 more, then go for it since that it the best price in your area.
 
Some have flown to other States to get a better deal. Is it worth it? It all depends on you.

I am very close on my decision for a 530xi with a number of options. I have gotten a number of quotes, best one is $1000 over invoice. Does it matter if I order now or in September? Are there new features/options that will be available in September that would cause me to wait? I had heard that there will only be the premium sound package offered with option for ipod OR 6-CD.

I guess it is in the same ball park. It just seems high considering that you still have to pay the monthly service fee. I may wait to get to my in-laws in SC where the labor has to be cheaper. Thanks.
