#991 of 3504 SMG and resale by designman Jul 30, 2004 (8:39 am)
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.

Replying to: sharris (Feb 12, 2003 11:48 am) 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
#993 of 3504 2004 530i by smith83 Aug 04, 2004 (7:37 am)
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.
#995 of 3504 Prices on 2004 5 series models below invoice? by confusedman Aug 04, 2004 (1:15 pm)
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.

Replying to: confusedman (Aug 04, 2004 1:15 pm) You can do that if you are willing to spend less than a $1000 extra (or use FF miles) to fly to Munich over a weekend and wait for the car for 6-8 weeks after paying for it. Look at the European Delivery program in the 3 series boards. The ED MSRP is 7-8% the US MSRP and the ED invoice is also similarly reduced. If you shop around you can get an ED car at about $1000-$1500 over ED invoice. This will put you under the US invoice.

Replying to: vsaxena (Aug 04, 2004 6:11 pm) Are you saying that you can fly to Munich and order the car there (and presumably pay for it) then return to the US and await delivery in the States? Can you do this now for an 05?   I got my current car through ED but had to order it from a US dealer, pay for it then, eight weeks later, flew to Munich and picked it up. From there I shipped it back to the US and eventually picked it up at the dealer's. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Aug 05, 2004 8:17 am)

Replying to: cassidym (Aug 05, 2004 7:33 am) NO, he means the way you got your current one. The difference is, you can usually save $2K-$3K using ED vs. conventional purchase.

Replying to: vsaxena (Aug 04, 2004 6:11 pm) Just to follow up, do you know if the dealers are expecting any manufacturing rebates to clear the 2004 inventory just in time for the 2005? Thus, possibley selling below invoice due to the rebates?   It sounds like getting the 2004's below invoice is not going to be as easy as it was with the 2003's since they were giving $3-$4K rebates on the 2003's due to the change of model.

Replying to: confusedman (Aug 05, 2004 8:21 am) I doubt that there will be rebates like last year. There is no model change involved. But you neverknow..
