Hematochez, the good deal depends on where you are buying your 5-er. For example, in Miami they go for only a couple of $100's less then MSRP, and mostly towards the ends of months, when dealers have to make their quotas. Which is why I buy/lease my Bimmers elsewhere. Just for your reference, the invoice for your car is $41,530, and there is an opinion that Bimmers can be gotten for about $1,000 above invoice, which may open a possibility for you to try to negotiate additional $500 discount to the already discounted price.

Yes, I tend to agree. If performance is almost equal with better milage, it does make sense.
Did you get the Xi? What transmission did you get? Do you have the new paddle shift trans?
What options did you get? Run flats-good or bad?
Thanks,

 
I don't have the Xi and have a six speed slush box without paddle shifters. It's a lease and with a lot of options, I had to draw the line somewhere. The only thing I'm sorry I didn't get were the comfort seats. Owning a BMW with it before, I'm one of the relatively few who doesn't like the SP.

Car Man- Lease question by topspin628

I am working a deal to lease a BMW at "1K over invoice". When I presented the sales person with the Edmunds invoice pricing sheet, he told me that there are "manufacturing fees" for 480 that are not included by Edmunds". Is that true or just a way to make an extra 480?
I will negotiate it down anyway but just wanted to know what is the total "invoice price" I should be working with.
Thanks

You have to drive them back to back- sport and non- and then decide what you like. I thought that I didn't want the sport again because of the needed winter tire changes where I live. But after driving both, I liked the way the sport looked and handled so much better that I will put up with a little more expense and time to have the car that will make me happy. I think that ARS alone makes the sport package great and I've heard that the Sport Auto trans is great so that's what I'm going for. I think it best suits the personality of the car. But you have to see what YOU like best. There are no mistakes on owning a 5. You will love it either way.

There is a $180 training & services fee added to the invoice of every BMW that is not shown on websites like edmunds or kbb. Also depending on where you live (I live in New York), there may be a $300 MACO (advertising fee) assesed to each car.

Yes, I live in NY and they are adding the 480.
Is that something that can get reduced? Do I have to pay for their advertising fee?
How would you play this?
Thanks

Once you settle on $1000 over invoice, then invoice is what they say it is. Yes, those are their costs, not yours, but you agreed to cover their cost (invoice).
 
You can tell them that when you agreed, you didn't realize they were going to add more costs over the invoice that is published on-line, and that you'd like a reduction. But, in my experience, Invoice + MACO/training + $1000 is probably as low as they are going to go.

Is that a good deal on a 550i ordered as I want?
Thanks
