I paid $1,000 above invoice. I think that was a win-win situation. However, it may be a little different in CA

Only the SUV's, the X3 and X5 are made in S.C., to my knowledge.
 
Anyways, good luck with your 550!

The X3 is assembled in Austria.. It won't be made in SC, until the 2009 or 2010 model...
 
X5 and Z4... for now..

... and the Z4 leaves our shores soon as well. Believe the upcoming X6 will be built in SC, but no coupes or sedans at this time. Does the X6 come across as something spawned in a marketing meeting?
 
Agree that the 550i is an incredible car. Although the MB e550 has more HP, the driving experience is totally unique in the BMW. I have the '03 530 and have driven the 535SP at length (brother owns one). Still love that BMW straight 6!
 
The 550i premium over the 535 may seem steep, but you just have to drive them to experience the difference, subtle it may be.

>"Does the X6 come across as something spawned in a marketing meeting?"
 
I have a feeling I'm in the minority here, but I actually like what I've seen of the X6 so far. That could change when I see one in person, but I'm not turned off by it.
 
As a single person I don't see myself ever buying a 'crossover', though. If I wanted a truck, I'd buy a truck. If I wanted a car, I'd buy a car.
 
If I had kids, and I needed something that I could take to the golf course as well as soccer games, I'd take a look at the X6.

Looking for new 535 or 528i now by smithsonga

Any good experiences or advice on pricing out of area dealers? Any reason or target any specific area of the country?
 
right now I am emailing all dealers within 50 miles asking for best prices.
 
Lastly, anyone drive both 535i and 528i and just shake their head? Looks like I can save $100/month leasing a 528i but havent driven it yet...only 535i.
