How long do you plan on keeping it?
 
I would push for them to CPO the car.. This would be the least expensive time that they could do it.. they would only have to fill out the paperwork and pay BMW for the warranty, as the car should need ZERO to bring it up to CPO standards..
 
It is hard to comment on the price... I don't have much to compare it to, other than a new one.. While I admire that you want a stick-shift, keep in mind that there are probably very few others who want an AWD stick 5-series.. You should bargain hard...
 
regards,

Thanks for the advice.
 
I did ask them to CPO it at that price. That was basically my counteroffer, which they declined. They did say they'd CPO it for $2k! So, they seem to be sticking to their guns right now.
 
Based on their used inventory, it appears that anything with pretty low miles is not CPO'd, and anything over around 20k miles is a CPO.
 
As far as the stick-shift thing, I agree with what you're saying, but the challenge is that there are ZERO other vehicles like this to choose from or compare to. A couple of weeks ago, a used manual trannie 530xi wagon showed up locally; I called on it that day and was going to go see it the next day, but it sold that evening after I called. I was shocked - I figured, who else was interested in such a car?
 
As you said, there are few others who may want a manual 5-series, but I'm starting to wonder if, when they are available, if those few people come out of the woodwork and snatch them up.

Buying a 525xi European Delivery by mbe320se

Hello All,
I am planning to buy a 530xi through European Delivery program and am wondering what kind of price to pay over the ED invoice. My US INVOICE price with options is:
Base 42225
6-speed steptronic 1210
Cold weather package 685
Power rear/side sunshade 525
Destination 695
 
Total US invoice is $45340.
European invoice is 7% less = $42215 (7% less + dest $695).
I would appreciate input from anyone having gone the european delivery route and some idea of how much over nvoice a dealer may be willing to take. I am in the NJ/tri-state area. Thanks.

Just looking for some advice on a deal through the military sales program for those of us deployed to Iraq. Listed below is the total price delivered from the factory in Germany to Honolulu, Hawaii (not including T&L):
 
2007 BMW 525i
-STEP TRONIC transmission
-Premium Package
-Cold Weather Package
-Navigation
-Sat Radio
 
Total price delivered is $46,720. This price apprears to be right around invoice. To you "professionals" out there, how does this look? Should I take it? I really appreciate any advice.

Invoice $46,790 (including destination charge, no MACO). That is a good deal if it is the selling price plus T&L. BTW, why would you select Cold Weather Package in Hawaii?
 
I suggest getting the sport package instead. Believe me the ride is not as bad as some say and the car with 18 inch rims looks great along with the 20 way comfort seats. Well worth the money.

That is $1840 over invoice. I think it is a little high, especially the dealer doc fee of $200+. I say anywhere from $800-$1000 over would be a good deal and doc fees I say should be no more than $50. At least that is what I paid.
 
I hope this helps.
