#3968 of 4036 2012 535xi by xbn983

Hello-
 
New to the forum and spending time learning from previous posts. I am here doing my homework on a 2012 535xi with the following config:
2012 535xi
Black Metallic Paint
Dark Wood Trim
LCSW Black Dakota Leather
ZWC Cold Weather Package
ZMP M Sport Package
ZPP Premium Package
ZPS Premium Sound
ZTP Technology Package
6NR BMW Apps
Net Total = $66650.00
destination adds $895
 
The dealer has three of these now for about five months or more. Each of the three have very similar configurations; for example, one other has the addition of ceramic controls. I don't believe any of the three have been driven.
 
I have done some research at another website and it suggests a fair price is $62255. That is $4395 off, which translates to 6.6% off. However, I have read some other posts here which suggest they were given a larger discounted price. I am therefore beginning to think that I could potentially get this car for less since they have had these cars on the lot for 5 months and in a few months the 2013's should start to show up.
 
I have been patient with my car shopping and I am not impulsive. The dealer knows I am this way. I have talked about placing an order in the past because I am picky and the specific config listed above would be different if I did place an order. However, up to now I have not placed an order. After talking to the dealer again recently they suggested they would be willing to deal with me on one of the cars on their lot. I could try the path of looking into a deal on the config I listed above, but I don't know for certain yet if I am solid on that car. I'm just looking into what is a fair price on that car with the consideration the dealer has three of them now for a while and they may be willing to deal on one of them with me. So, what is a fair price for the config listed above?
 
Thanks!

Hi,
 
I bought a 2012 BMW 535i last week with the following options:
 
Cold weather pkg
Premium Pkg
Tech Pkg
Sport Pkg
Paddle shifters
BMW Apps
Sirus Radio
 
Price paid - $56500 + Tax. MSRP is $64000. Is this a good deal; what do you guys think?

Thank you kanchis for very helpful information.
I am going to kick my self in the rear for allowing BMW CCA laps...
 
A couple follow up questions:
BMWNA $1,500 - is this same as financing credit? Cause that one expired at the end of April. I typically track them on Edmunds under incentives and rebates. Or is this a different one, and if so - where can it be tracked?
Edmunds $1,500 - was that when you click on BMW ad while browsing Edmunds, or something different?
Team Drive - just signed up for BMW Drive for Team USA and scheduled my drive with 5 series. There was no mention of $1,000. Did I do something wrong, or do I just need to ask after the drive?
 
Again - thanks so much for all the info!!!

Hi, Thanks a lot for your information. Do you mind if you can share a little bit more on where did you get the deal at? I'm currently looking for a 535i with similar packages you got and dealer quoted me an invoice price. But yours surely are 2000 bucks below invoice. I'm wondering if you could share some more information and perhaps any price sheet list so I may get some benefits too?
 
Thank you so much!

This is from a dealer in Bay Area, CA. The invoice price seems to be bloated; other dealers in this area also quoted 57-58K. The purchase price included the 1500 option credit BMW is offering this month + contest credit or something.
 
BTW - if you don't have an iPhone or not a fan of iSomething and has Android or other smart phones don't get the BMWApps if you can find a vehicle without it. The option only works with iPhone -- sucks to pay $250 for nothing.

You can check dealer cost on Edmunds or bmwconfig.com.

#3976 of 4036 2009 535 xDrive Price by jpocher

May 16, 2012 (4:52 pm)

Just got the "final" offer on a 2009 535 xDrive with 48.5K miles. Premium Package, Cold Weather package, Nav, park assist. Lowest they could go is $33K, with 1.9% 48 month financing.
Looking at alternatives it seems OK... but is it?
The dealership is in Houston and I live in Austin (3 hours away).

BMWNA $1500 is the option credit that they are offering currently. Edmunds is usually good about updating their records to show the most recent rebates. If not go the BMWNA website and check under leases.
http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/content/vehicles/2012/5/535isedan/OfferDetail.asp- - - x?NAModelCode=125C&OfferType=2&regiontypeid=4
 
Edmunds $1500 is something that I personally never got, but heard numerous forum members getting it, so I recon its valid. Dont know when it expires though.
 
Team Drive event: I'm assuming you havent completed your drive yet. Normally you should expect an email from BMWNA confirming your appointment (i got mine within 3 days of the my scheduled time) that tells you about the rebate. Here's what mine said....
 
Quote"And as a thank you for registering and attending the event, you’ll receive a $1,000 BMW Drive for Team USA Allowance, applicable toward the purchase or lease of a new BMW. Only event participants will be eligible for this exclusive offer.** "END QUOTE
 
From my previous experience participating in the launch event for the 6 series they sent me a rebate code through email. I'm guessing thats still valid these days too.
 
BMWCCA membership needs to be valid for an year before the delivery of the car. Thats a $1000 rebate.
http://www.bmwcca.org/vehicle_rebate
Car man confirmed that you need to be a member for at least an year before you can use the rebate benefits.
 
Hope this helps.
