Please clarify if your quote at invoice price was for a 2008 or 2009. The 2009's now have the same 0.9 % financing as the 2008's. The "no cost" premium package is really additional dealer cash from the manufacturer, not a true rebate. The dealer uses that approx $2k for the premium package to probably get you to invoice on a 2008. My dealer claims this dealer cash for the premium package is for 2008's only, not 2009's. If you've been quoted invoice price for a 2009, that's better than what I've been quoted in MA.

the car no longer called the 535xi...just 535 w/ "X Drive "emblem on the sides of car....
 
the navigation is improved with additional dials surrounding the main dial...short cuts
 
this car with the stick is just amazing......

All I hear bout 08 and prior years on E class (and some of the other models) are all sorts of problems. brake system (think related to their sbc system), transmissions, you name it. Others say these are all related to their "drive by wire" tech. if you have to go with E, i'd look at the 09 models which i think will no longer have some of these crappy technologies, they're definitely making change on their brake system. google "e class sbc system" and you'll find all sorts of info . you should get way way better deals with the 08 E class than the 5 series. am no mechanic but i research like hell ( -:

I have been trying to get a deal on either 528 or 535 with AWD. I figure that in this market (dismal auto sales, increasing layoffs), I could get a pretty good deal. I looked around the dealers in tri-state area, and it seems that a lot of 2008 528Xi are still sitting on the lot which might enable me to get a better deal.
 
After rounds of back and forth with several dealers, I got the following quote on a 08 528Xi with cold weather and premium.
base invoice: 43055
Cold; 685
Premium: free
Destination: 825
Total invoice: 44565
 
Dealer quote: $45500 (935 above invoice), plus 225 doc, 175 title, + sales tax.
 
Also, I looked at a 2009 535 Xi
base invoice: 48760
Cold; 750
Premium: 2200
Destination: 825
Total invoice: 52535
Dealer quote: 52800, plus $600 mac, $400 doc, $175 title + sales tax
This is roughly $1040 above invoice (265 on car + 600 mac + 175 higher doc fee), while the 2008 528Xi is 935 above invoice with free premium. So effectively, two quotes on 08 528Xi and 09535Xi are similar priced to their invoice prices. Of course 2009 535Xi costs 6500 more.
 
I am leaning toward the 2009 535Xi given that both 08 and 09 have 0.9% financing right now, as the latest model should be worth more than the free premium package for 2008 models.

Tks So Cal,
 
Actually after much thought I decided not to go with the E Class 2008 althought dealer willing to give me 16% below MSRP. Decided to wait until the 2010 model comes out since it is only 1 yr more.

Seems like good pricing based on my recent quotes in MA. As to which car to choose, only you can decide if the extra power of the 535 is worth the extra cash! The 2009 does have a somewhat friendlier iDrive set-up. Good luck deciding.

With no negotiation (other than demonstrating that I knew about free Premium Pkg and invoice costs for everything else), this was their offer:
 
2008 528i, no options except Premium Pkg:
 
Base MSRP 44,600
Premium Pkg 2,400
Destination 825
Total MSRP 47825
 
Base Invoice 41,030
Premium Pkg 2,185
Destination 825
Total Invoice 44,040
 
Offer to sell at 43,435, or $605 below invoice.
 
Seemed like a decent price that could be improved, but there's one problem: There is no way my wife will drive this car (though it would be mine, primarily). I can't believe how unintuitive all the switchgear is vs. my 2001 530i which I'd be trading. (I was even ready to cope with the 2008 version of I-Drive, since most controls are back on the dash.) I must be getting old... oh, well.

Sounds like you're ready for a cadillac cts [ test drive an awd just for fun] --- your wife will love it and you'll have 6-8 grand to spend on meals at Denny's. Of course, you could take a first class trip to Hawaii and still have a few bucks left. Peace to you fellow old timer.
