Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences BMW 5-Series Prices Paid and Buying Experience

You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
The dealer will have the new 535xi prepped for me for tomorrow. On my old 3 series the car was initialized with personal preferences, like running lights and the blinking clown nose. Will this be true of the 5 (the salesman didn't seem to know)? Are there any decisions to make? Any recommendations?

Replying to: njdriver1 (Sep 28, 2007 8:01 am) Thanks Don't worry. The clown nose is still there for night time ambient lighting, although more flattened. (I guess it had a Rhinoplasty.) |

Replying to: sg678 (Sep 28, 2007 8:06 am) with regular tires once they are worn out..? Sure you can replace them, but I'm not sure if BMWFS accepts non-RF's as replacement if you have a lease.

replace four tires cost around 900 dollars. How long do RF tires last? I am going to have the lease car. Need more advice on this one. Thanks.

Question for the group - Any word on when the 5 series gets overhauled? I heard online it is for the 2009 model year, but also heard some for 2010 - Also looking when the desiels might be coming? |
