"Don't know where the 6 cd changer is installed on the new 3 - anyone know?"
 
The 6 cd changer is an accessory that is mounted in the trunk just like the e46.

I stopped by to look at the same car here in the midwest, same MSRP (auto/ZPP/PDC, MSRP $35,995). They offered me $650 off (not good enough!) but I didn't negotiate it down at all, I will save that for next weekend when I test drive and am ready to buy...but if you're getting $1500 off it makes me hopeful.
 
As for RWD I asked the same question, and was reassured and given a copy of an article that basically says that this ain't my daddy's RWD car and it wouldn't be any worse than FWD. I did want AWD going in there and I even looked at the X3 (because I can't wait until the 325xi comes out), but I'm now more or less convinced that AWD isn't a 'must have'.
 
I am wondering if this dealer will go down to $34,500 or less...does anyone know how much of a better deal you can get if you pay cash? Or am I misinformed about dealers preferring cash?

Interesting comment, I am in Southern CA and test drove both the 325 and 330i on Friday and Saturday. I also ordered a 330i, the way I wanted it and it will be here the end of May. I drove the 330i and then the new Lexus GS300, no comparison, while the Lexus is quieter, the 330i had much better steering, brakes, handling and acceleration , it made my decision pretty easy. Maybe I'll own a Lexus when I turn 65.......

Thanks guys. Interestingly enough my former 323i (2.5) was rated at 19/28.So no change. However with a 45hp boost I should not be complaining. Perhaps the new model is more accurate. I got 23 every tank on a 50/50 mixed cycle,and a ONE time high of 29 on a extended road trip.
 
On another note I was reading this issue of Roundel that talks about how was got a 3.0 instead of the 2.5, for carb reasons as you reasoned allready. Then again they said there is no 525ix or 525ixt in NA, which is not correct.

They got part of it right.. There is no 525XiT in the USA.. The only 5-series wagon coming is the 530XiT..

2006 - ED: A win-win situation just happened by buulu

A dealer 3 days ago accepted my offer for $1400 over ED invoice on the 2006. And we're planning to file the documents tomorrow Monday.
 
Well another dealer half a mile (and closest) from me, who earlier on appeared uninterested in my above offer called me this afternoon to make a deal on a 2005 they have in stock. I told him I'm leaning towards an ED with another dealer. Guess what he offered to do the ED for me for $1200 above ED invoice to get my business. Sweet!
 
I'd be going to sign the papers with them instead tomorrow. (and hopefully I don't get another call that beats this latest one. hey when dealers compete ... I like to I smile)
