Hi Gardis,
I was travelling for 5 days so I havent gotten to enjoy it too much! I only drove it for 3 days and then i left on a busineess trip... well im back today, and I do love it.
What I do notice is that the shift between 1st and 2nd is not as smooth as I would like it to be. I had a 328i 6 speed manual and i never had an auto before, so I guess this is normal..???? I mean its not like im accelrating very hard... the slightly uncomfortable shift is only when I am aplying a decent amount of pressure on the accelerator.. (or what I think is decent, but not excessive)..
do you notice the same?

Speedy,
 
Did the $33,500 that you paid include the $1,800 for the extended maintenance plan or was the $1,800 separate?
 
Do you think that paying $2,500 is a fair price for an extended maintenance plan that covers an additional 2 years?

Hi Srkool,
I spent 32,500 EXCLUDING the $1800 for maintainence.
 
Apparently the retail on the maint went up by $500 July 1, 2009.
I assume cost will be $250.
I think reasonable price is around $2200.

Extended Warranty by kevin530

Is the extended warranty essentially a bumper to bumper extension of the 4 year/50,000 new car warranty? If so, seems as though it would be worth it if you plan on keeping the car long term, but not so sure if you plan to trade in regularly.

please do not confuse extended warranty with extended maintainence.
 
extended warranty only covers drivetrain (engine, transmission) after 50k warranty expires. No NAV or AUDIO. or other things.
 
extended maintainence is paying for brake pads, rotors, oil changes, etc.

Seems like decent deal for 2010 model. I have decided to wait for 7-8 months for new body style which is due in early 2010. That car will depreciate pretty fast once new body style is out. Think one is better off buying a 1-2 year old used model than 2010 given pending new design.

Speedy19, thanks for that feedback. I just picked up my 2007 525i and was able to negotiate the extended maintainence plan for $2,000. My dealer also confirmed that the maint. plan went up by $500 at the beginning of July. By the way, excluding the cost of the maint. plan, I paid $30K for the 2007 525i with premium package and navigation and approx. 28K miles. I think this is a very good price from a Southern Calif dealer. I looked at similar models at two other dealers and they were not willing to negotiate below $32.5K.
