#7 of 1385 Invoice/MSRP by billfish Dec 09, 2003 (12:54 pm)
Ok, now that I have the birth of my 2nd child two mo's behind me I can get onto some more important things like BMW's!!!!!.........just a little humor there folks.   Seriously, I waited until after this sig event to restart my hunt for an X5. Slightly used 03' would have been fine but the cost of those are prohibitive vs 04'to me. Perhaps it is best to just order the 04' (unless I found a dealer with one sitting there skimmed down on the options...which is not likely as I would figure they load em' up fairly heavy? and I just don't need/and can not afford some of them as I am on a budget) so.....My question to someone is...how can I locate the real invoice price that the dealer will pay? I want this information so I can negoitate a fair deal and move on. I know earlier BMW offered some incentives both hidden and not on the 3's/5 er's which made for some interesting deals being talked about on a great car. I haven't found any incentives yet for the X5 04'. Joatmon told me so. May not exist at this time? Does anyone know the best way to obtain this invoice price on the X that will show the same for the options? I suppose I could just ask the dealer for a copy but I would have no way of knowing if this is indeed the real price they paid or some used piece of paper from the mens room? I am planning on spending my destination charge by picking it up at the plant. I figure I might as well break myself in by wrecking theirs! ;-)Any pissed off x-bmw dealers out there want a stab at this question?.....lol.   Thanks in advance for your suggestions/input
#8 of 1385 Consumer Reports FYI by billfish Dec 11, 2003 (1:51 pm)
You peeps probably know about this ....For 12 bucks you can get a copy of retail/invoice/wholesale for any car. I had already found most of the info except what some of the options cost/invoice which could be well worth the 12 bucks spent alone if you save a few k. Decent report which includes some safety and reliability rankings. Would be valid for comparison sake if the dealer claimed you were way off in price for those options? Not mentioned however is BMW's selling platform as opposed to holdback, etc. Not that they..BMW.. should reveal how they structure sales...that would be hard to do and use but they didn't mention that BMW eliminated the traditional holdback.(so we can quit looking for the holy price!!!) "It" exsists but not in the form we might be looking for. Looks like the best way to score here is find a dealer close to reaching a sales goal or platform...where ever they may be located...and help them acheive that goal and you get a fair price hopefully. That means spreading out your search coast to coast. For me that won't be difficult as I am going to be ordering my from the fac. It's about as close as I can come to what I want without buying too too many options. Even the fac route is limited.

#10 of 1385 X5 price by jav27 Dec 21, 2003 (2:02 pm)
I have a deposit on a 2004 X5 with PP, CWP, Rear Climate, Xenon lights and Auto. I'm getting it for $2,000 over invoice. Fair or not?
#11 of 1385 X5 Fair Price by pcat Dec 23, 2003 (7:00 am)
I have found that you can find dealers willing to sell X5's at $1,000 over invoice. This may be due to the fact that they are trying to reach year end quota's.
#12 of 1385 X5 Fair Price by mml_2004mdx Dec 23, 2003 (10:05 am)
I received an email from a BMW dealer in the Bay Area, CA specifying $300 over invoice on every BMW model except the M-series. I went to the dealer and saw quite a few choices of X5's at the lot. Looks like the year markdown to meet quota can be significant. Replies to this message: tlarson (Mar 17, 2005 1:47 pm)
#13 of 1385 which dealer by lovephoto Dec 23, 2003 (3:08 pm)
Which dealer in the bay area is selling $300 over invoice? I live at Lake Tahoe and will be buying a 2004 X5. The dealer in Reno does not deal.

I received a similar email from the internet sales manager at Allison BMW. It applied only to in-stock vehicles (except M's). They only had X5 3.0's in stock and 2003 4.4's. I think that deal expired. I ended up ordering a 2004 4.4 from a dealership that gave me a little discount off MSRP.
#15 of 1385 2004 X5 4.4 by hermann2 Jan 09, 2004 (3:59 pm)
The 4.4 engines have all gone to the new 545, 645 and 745. You are lucky if you can find one 4.4i X5 with your preferred options. Those who have ordered the X5 4.4i will need to hold their breaths. It may take another 2 months to have the car delivered. The salesman will probably tell you expected delivery within one month, or give you a very good discount on the 3.0i. He hope that you won't go to the Porsche or MB dealership next door to get a new SUV on the same day. Shame on the BMW production management.
#16 of 1385 Pulled the trigger by nyccarguy Jan 15, 2004 (9:24 pm)
My Dad ordered his first BMW today! He's getting a 2004 Sterling Gray/Black Leather X5 3.0iA with Steptronic (iA), Cold Weather, Rear Climate, Lumbar, Xenon, Premium Package, and Sport Package.   He ended up paying $1000 over invoice after a few days of back and forth negotiations which comes out to $48,845.   He's going to lease the X5 for 42 months including 20K miles per year, NYC taxes rolled in, 51% residual, and 5.16% interest (money factor) with a $0 cap cost reduction. Payments are going to be $835/month.   This may seem high to some, but with the 20K per year mileage the residual is lower compared to a 10, 12, or 15K per year lease.   I worked with Wide World of Cars in SPring Valley, NY and are very pleased with the results.
