Hi Kev
I like the sound of the black on black also, I've seen that combo before and It's very classy looking. The Auburn is the bright reddish brown, which is OK, but they use a gray carpet and black vinyl seat backs, which just make it look awful inside, IMHO.
That is what I object to.

OK Gardis, that settles it. Black on Black. I strongly veto the auburn color from what you're saying if I am a voting member. I just don't get why BMW would ever put that color in a 5 series. I think marketability and resale appeal would be affected. Plus I think you would get sick of it.
Have you found these cars locally?

Dealer in central FL has 7 new leftover 08' 535i sitting around getting sunburn.
Any thoughts on what a reasonable discount would be off of MSRP?
 
I'll want to lease but want to get net cap cost as low as possible because 36 mos residual is only 55%.

recently purchased 2008 535xi with 15,000 miles for 40K I am sure that a new 535i has to start somewhere above that. I am amazed that a dealer has so many new 08 cars. Could not find any in Pennsylvania

I bought 2009 528 xi over the weekend for 46400 + tax and other fees. It has cold weather package, ipod and bluetooth and leatherette.
 
Total suggested retail price is 49675.
 
Hope this info works for you. I am not sure I got a good deal, but some stat that you can refer too.

70s, so for that price you did not get a premium package with real leather? How offensive is BMW to give less than leather in a $50,000 car?
I think you could have done better on price but so could I have.
Enjoy.

Hi everybody,
I need some help here. I want to buy a 528xi. I got a quote from a dealer in kansas for this model:
-Black sapphire/brown leather
-Steptronic transmission
-Premium package
-Cold weather package
-Comfort access
-Xenon lights
-Satellite radio
MSRP: 54070
Asking price is 50300.
Now, I live in Texas so I need to flight there and bring it back driving 12hrs. Also I was thinking about the 2010 and the value package that include almost everything I want except for the xenon lights. So dont know what to do. Since this will be my first BMW I want to have the peace of mind of making a good deal.

Is this a Good Deal? by gardis

Guys,
I need some advice. I found on the BMWUSA website, an ideal car. it's a 2007 CPO 530i, Alpine/Black, with Premium, Cold, SPORTS, prem. sound, and NAV. Car has 24K miles on it, it's off lease, one owner, clean Carfax, and dealer wants $36,999 for it. I called and got so excited, it's exactly the car I'm looking for, I walked away from one in January because of the stock market, but I'm reluctant to pass on this one. I called the dealer, and right away put a $500 deposit on it to hold it. The salesman, very nice guy, said they "owned the car at $36,000" and maybe there's few hundred in there, and then asked me what I thought I wanted for mine. I have a 328i, 1996 with 109K miles on it, with some issues (moon roof doesn't work, some other minor stuff that I had priced at the BMW dealer I dont' want to bother fixing yet). He's willing to drive the car to me (dealer is 60 miles from my house), then he called me back and said that he would take mine back with him, and the dealership gave him authorization to appraise mine on the spot.
 
I'm thinking that the price is a little high for that vehicle, and I don't want to move so fast. Should I drive out there, take the day off, and see what happens. I mean I haven't even driven the car, let alone seen it, except for pictures on the dealer website. The car is evverything I"m looking for but I"m more comfortable at $34,000 not the $36,999. Plus they're going to add dealer fees ($500, right). I"ve seen other similar vehicles with the XI that supposedly is supposed to be a higher priced model, in the same price range if not a little less. I just think that's high for that vehicle, given it has NAV.
 
What do you guys think? I'm going to call him on Tuesday morning and say, not so fast. Let's talk about price, or walk away. Anybody have any feelings about it.

If the asking price is $36,999 and he told you they own the car for $36K, then he is LYING to you. My guess is they paid around $31K for the car, + add $1500 to add the CPO warranty + I believe the dealer has to fix any issues with the car at his cost (tires, brakes, worn seats...ETC). I think $34K is more than a fair offer($33K is better) for that car. But if you really love it, don't let $2K stand in your way, especially since you seem to hold on to your cars for a long time.
