I guess that provided the different MFs for different models, that the customers' MFs will also be different. Therefore, is there a formula for calculating the MF for customers (as determined by BMW FS)? It appears that the discount is fairly significant for customers for 5-series (28%)!

I have a final ask (Iam not sure if he will come down more but am hopeful we have been back n forth just twice so far via email) a NJ dealer for a 2006 530I with 18,200 miles on it. Wants $42,675.30 OTD! NAV, Premium Pkg, Xenon! My offer was $41,175.00 OTD! A lot of 530s are coming off (the 24/27 mo lease I hear). Any input for any of you will be helpful. I was bent of RL but I have to choose between GS350 or 530i. Please let me how numbers look. Thank you.

What is the car's original MRSP? Is it BMW certified or does it at least have an extended warranty?

The Most Unprofessional and Rude Dealer in So Cal! by spyder52

Hey everyone! I've just encountered the most unprofessional and rude dealer in So Cal! It's SANTA MONICA BMW, in Santa Monica, CA. May be it's "my fault" as a customer but I offered 4K less on a BMW 525i than it's asking pricing. Here's the General Sales Manager's direct response to a potential new customer. It's interesting that this type of sales guy can find a job in a luxury car dealer. Ultimate Driving Machine it may be, but certainly NO Ultimate Customer Service. I am dealing with caveman here.
 
From the dealer general sales manager:
 
"Wholesale book is $36,600 we are asking $36,999 $400 over wholesale. This is an unbelievable price! Sounds like it may be too much car for you. Let me know if you want to reconsider your unrealistic offer or would like a car that is in your budget. Thank you, General Sales Manager"
 
So please don't try to get cute or try to negotiate with them, they are TOUGH guys! At least dinasaurs when come to savvy and ability to sell.

extended warranty by gohorns1
Jul 10, 2007 (8:57 pm)
Reply
I am buying a 535i. It is on order and should be here in a few weeks. Does anyone have a comment regarding the extended warranty? I tend to hold on to a car and can see keeping this for 6 or more years, if all goes well. What should I expect to pay and is it better to purchase the warranty now or wait until later, closer to the end of the 4-year warranty. Any advice is appreciated.

Save your money and use the 4 years to conduct research to find a good warranty company.
 
After 4 years of operating the car, you can decide if you need an extended warranty?
 
There are numerous good and bad extended warranty options.
 
I used UUG backed by Zurich for my 2003 5-series.
 
Good Luck!
