1) Since you aren't sure what you are going to do, don't buy the extra miles. $.04 times 1500 miles is only $60. Not worth buying ahead of time for that small of a difference.
 
2) If you decide to buy the car and think you might buy the extended warranty or have it CPOed (result will be the same), you will probably want to extend the maintenance plan to match the warranty. On an '02 3-series, this costs $1384..I'm not sure of the charge on a 5-series, except that I am sure it is more. I'm not necessarily recommending the extended maintenance plan, but if you are going to the dealer for warranty work, it usually pays off.. Especially since it covers brakes for the duration. If you are going to extend the maintenance plan, you have to do it before your current maintenance plan expires at 3yr/36K miles.

Folks,
 
Where can I find invoice pricing information on the 5 series. Also, what is the going price for the 5 series in the Northern NJ/Manhattan area?
 
Thanks in advance.

All of this can be very true except the part about me being a cheerleader. I'd take that car for 28 right now but not if didn't have a sport package (28,9 is average in the black book and the stick deduct is a wash with the sport and premium plus I'd say black is the strongest color, right). That 5 with the bigger six and the stick is definitely a performance guy's car and no sport package would surely hurt the car in my mind.
 
If your not a BMW dealer and your moving 50 to 60 'bimmers a month that's a BIG #. I probably should be asking you about a job instead of verbally sparring here.

Terry,
 
This question sort of fits in with the current discussion: what is are the resale pluses or minuses for SMG? I can see that MT limits resale, but not sure how SMG is seen. I am liking SMG as it has an auto mode for other users besides myself, yet it allows manual shifting when I want to get the most out of the car. But, resale issues are an unknown for me, so I ask.
 
Thanks, John

SMG and resale by designman

According to what I have read, BMW claims that SMG III in the E60 M5 is smooth, jerks reduced substantially. It also shifts 20% faster. If this is the case, this renders SMGs I and II crude and obsolete. I would expect this to affect resale considerably.

I'm looking to order a 2005 545 six-speed. Can you do the same analysis for that? I want Nav, folding seats, satellite radio, PDC, cold weather package and sports package (understand this is now an option with the six-speed. Plan to take European delivery. I did this with my last BMW (1986 325eS and it is still running although barely)and was pleased with the service.
 
Alternatively, can you point me in the right direction to determine invoice prices?
 
Thanks

2004 530i by smith83

I am getting ready to buy a 2004 530i, with Premium Package, Automatic, and Xenons. The MSRP is $50,070.00, invoice is $45,840.00. I am surprised that BMW has yet to place any incentives on the 2004 5-series. Any advice as to what I should pay for this car?
 
Thanks.

At one time this year, there were incentives on the 5-series... I'm not currently up to date on them, but they may have been replaced with lease incentives. Earlier, they were $1000.

Prices on 2004 5 series models below invoice? by confusedman
Aug 04, 2004 (1:15 pm)
Reply
Has anybody heard of anybody purchasing any 2004 530i's or 525's below invoice price. If so, how much below invoice price? Looking to buy one and would definitely like to buy one below invoice. Is that a reality like it was with the 2003's?
 
I appreicate as much input as possible. You can never overkill with too much advice.
