what would you guys say is a good price for a car like this. it has prem, sports, and xenon and will come with the new car warranty. i have no idea how much of a 'discount' you're supposed to expect for 7k miles on the car.

This could be an actual manufacturer company car or a corporate employee lease. IMO, it makes little difference, either way. 2) What is the original MSRP? They should have a copy of the sticker. (Just for a reference point). 3) The dealer bought the car at an auction, just like any other used car, and that should be factored into the deal. It really is no different, except..... 4) Factory official cars that have never been retailed are sometimes eligible for the new car lease programs.. The '08 X3 has a great lease program, so that might be of use... Also, 0.9% financing on a purchase. The unit that I leased had 10,400 miles. It's original MSRP was $44K.. The selling price was around $36,500. But, mine had already been CPOed, so figure at least $1500 more for that.. Your unit has less miles, and it sounds like it's probably more expensive (mine didn't have Sport). What are they asking?

Hi folks I live in the northeast and do not have a garage for my X3. The winter is turning out to be harsh this year and was wondering if it is a good idea to have a remote starter installed. My X3 has done 60000 miles in 3 years 4 months without any maintenance except the routine oil services. I did not have the 4yr/50000 mile warranty extended. I did not get the remote starter earlier as BMW customer service informed me that it would void the warranty. Do you think it is advisable as the two mechanics I called seemed to give conflicting advice - one said he'll do it and the other said he would'nt touch it because of the BMW computer/electronics. BTW - I love the car and it has been a marvellous experience having it - it still looks and drives like a new car. |

I am wondering what is the best approach in my situation. I just bumped into e post and sustained a paint scratch on the front bumper (about 5 inches). The plastic is visible underneath. There are no cracks or anything. I am returning the car next month (end of lease). I am thinking of taking it for pre-inspection. If the damage turns out to be more than my insurance deductible ($500) can I make a claim at that point with the insurance company? Will the BMW dealer help with the claim in some way. Or should I report to the insurance company now? Any opinions? thanks

Replying to: irvin54 (Oct 28, 2008 10:57 am) My wife's 2006 X3 had a similar problem. There is one spot near some towers and antennas where the key would not remotely lock / unlock the vehicle. When we took it in for regular service last week, they replaced a bad antenna amplifier and the problem has been fixed- key now works remotely in the former dead zone. Bruce |
