#1050 of 1358 Lease Buybacks by nyccarguy Nov 26, 2008 (6:38 pm)
I think BMW is very inflexible when it comes to negotiating lease buy outs. My Dad had an '04 X5 3.0iA with close to 80,000 miles on it when the lease ended. He had bought the extended maintenance (which worked out in our favor because we got the Inspection II and a new set of brake pads from it). I was in the market for a car at the time and wanted to see what the buyout was. The car was in PERFECT shape and had extended maintenance until 100K miles. BMW would NOT negotiate the buyout. I guess they'd rather take a chance at an auction

Make sure the person in charge knows you made a reasonable offer and you are walking. Jvost on the 5 series thread got 8-9k under residual to buy his return car. Maybe you are in the wrong showroom in the wrong place.

#1053 of 1358 How to differentiate 2009 X5 3.0 from 2008 X5 3.0? by 6degrees Dec 03, 2008 (6:11 am)
For example, how to tell an X5 is 2009 or 2008 by the outside and inside? Or by VIN?   Anybody knows?   Thanks. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Dec 03, 2008 8:23 am)

Replying to: 6degrees (Dec 03, 2008 6:11 am) I'm pretty sure the 10th digit of the VIN (8th from the other end) is the year.. I'll check on it, though..
#1055 of 1358 Yup...that's it.. by kyfdx HOST Dec 03, 2008 (8:27 am)
The 10th digit of the VIN..   8 = 2008   9 = 2009   regards, kyfdx Replies to this message: 6degrees (Dec 03, 2008 8:33 am) kyfdx (Dec 03, 2008 8:36 am) ebber77 (Dec 03, 2008 8:56 am) kyfdx (Dec 03, 2008 8:57 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (Dec 03, 2008 8:27 am) Thanks for the info.   Is there any way to tell by looking at X5, inside or outside?   The front seat head-rest looks different. Is it just 3.0 vs 4.8? Or 2008 vs 2009?   Appreciated. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Dec 03, 2008 8:36 am) ebber77 (Dec 03, 2008 8:56 am) kyfdx (Dec 03, 2008 8:57 am)

Replying to: 6degrees (Dec 03, 2008 8:33 am) No idea on the headrests.. I think the X5 comes with three different available seats, so that might be a hard way to tell, anyway.. You can see the VIN on the left dashboard, through the windshield.   I'm just not that familiar with the new X5 to know trim differences between years.. Possibly another member will chime in...   regards, kyfdx
#1058 of 1358 Giving the economic condition right now? How much BMW dealer may discount by 6degrees Dec 03, 2008 (8:38 am)
How much BMW dealer may discount on 2009 X5 3.0? $3000 less MSRP? Anybody has experience?   I spoke to one sales. He said the bad economic condition seems no impact on BMW sales. I can't believe it.

Replying to: 6degrees (Dec 03, 2008 8:33 am) The difference between a 2008 and 2009 model will be clearly stated by the model designation... 2008's "si" vs 2009's "xDrive" Replies to this message: kyfdx (Dec 03, 2008 8:57 am)
