Replying to: gregoryx (Jul 15, 2009 7:06 pm) 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.

#3376 of 3499 Re: MY PURCHASE 2007 530i [speedy19] by srkool Jul 19, 2009 (1:38 pm)
Replying to: speedy19 (Jul 15, 2009 9:14 am) 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.

Replying to: hoosbest (Jul 19, 2009 1:13 pm) yeah, i thought about that option too but haven't been able to see what the new body style looks like. i have searched and there are lots of opinions about what it might look like. i have seen some concepts which look great but i haven't been able to get any type of confirmation. have you seen any confirmed styles yet?

Replying to: gregoryx (Jul 15, 2009 7:06 pm) Greg, Before I would drop $2400 on Active Cruise Control, get yourself the manual for the 5 series, and READ about it. I would never drop that kind of money on a technology that is not guaranteed to slow down the car when you come around a corner. The manual says over and over, the system is not intended to supplant the driver's judgement. (in so many words). I would not spend on that, it's a gimmick. But your call. I have to say, I love my Nav, though I didn't ask for it. Replies to this message: gregoryx (Jul 24, 2009 6:45 pm)
#3379 of 3499 What about a Car Wash by gardis Jul 23, 2009 (6:52 pm)
Guys, How do you handle leaving the car running in a car wash, with central locking? I'm afraid if I get out of the car, it will lock automatically, and I won't be able to access again.   Am I off base? I've read the manual, and cannot find anything about that.

Replying to: gardis (Jul 23, 2009 6:50 pm) i recognize the risk for sure . . . i don't think i would ever be able to totally trust the technology but i did test drive a vehicle with it and it did work pretty well. of course i didn't try the stop n go feature but on straight road it worked ok   my vehicle arrives in mid-september and will post a message and let everyone know how it goes
#3381 of 3499 2007 BMW 525i Price (CPO) by srj1 Jul 25, 2009 (7:15 pm)
A dealer in Northern California is offering 2007 525i driven 5500 miles for 31K. There are no options upgrades. It is an automatic steptronic stearing car. Please let me know if this is a good deal   SJ
#3382 of 3499 Negotiating from Residual Value by countrygirl2 Jul 25, 2009 (11:41 pm)
Hi, My 2007 525i is coming off of lease shortly, and I'm wondering how much I can realistically expect to negotiate the dealer down from the residual value (approx. $30k). Does anyone have any experience/advise on this? Thanks.
#3383 of 3499 Residual Value 07 525xi by sambo49 Jul 26, 2009 (2:35 pm)
My 07 525xi lease is up end November 09 with 34k residual value. Appraisal from Edmunds dealer trade in = 24k, retail=30k. I understand the redesigned 2010 5 series style will hit the showrooms in early 2010 which will further reduce the resale value. On paper it sounds I am better off walking away. Does anybody know if BMW will negotiate on the sale price and would they accept same as dealer trade in?
