#1185 of 1822 Pre-Owned 2004 X3 by whyster

Mar 09, 2006 (11:15 am)

Hello All,
 
One of the local luxury car dealers has a 2004 X3 2.5 with 29k miles for $26,000. As far as I can tell, it has:
 
- Automatic Transmission
- Premium Package(I think because it has steering wheel audio controls, auto climate control, power seats, and wood)
- 18" sport wheels
 
Is this a great deal? Or should I avoid a 2004 since it is the first model year? I figure it's still under warranty and I can buy an extended one from BMW.
 
Thanks!

whyster,
   I happen to have priced several 2004 X3s with 2.5 and similar options. They all were asking $28,500 to $31,000. I never made a serious offer yet. Was $26k the price before or after negotiations??

#1188 of 1822 Survey on X3 pricing in Seattle area. by pwedmunds

I am considering a 06 X3 3.0 with the following Option
Metallic paint, Navi, leather, heated fronts, xenon, premium sound, privacy, 18" wheel. Including destination, the MSRP is $44,045, invoice is $40,285, straight cash deal. Do you think I can get it at $500 over invoice? I would like to do a survey on priced paid in terms of amount over invoice or amount off of MSRP.

Although I can imagine there might be regional differences, it's fairly easy to get $400+ above invoice in the SF Bay area for an X3. You might be able to do even better in LA as they seem to move more X3s than other parts of the country.
 
In the SF Bay area, I believe 70% of new BMWs are leased - perhaps dealers make most of their profit on padding the lease terms.

What credit report does BMW pull- Equifax, Transunion or Experian?
 
Do they pull all three or just one? Do they pull a random one?
 
What is the minimal beacon score BMW Financial requires to lease a 330i? I am in the mid 600s on Equifax and Transunion. The dealer says I should have no problem at all in getting approved- not sure I believe him.
 
Has anyone out there been approved with a beacon score in the mid 600s?
 
I feel I have better chances of getting approved on a lease with Lexus Financial. The Lexus IS 350 is my second choice of car.
 
I know BMW uses a pass / fail system- BUT what beacon is the cutoff for leases? What's the minimal beacon they want to get approved on a lease?
 
Any info would really be appreciated!

Hi 462,
 
This is the dealer's asking price. I decided not to buy after requesting the exact options through BMW customer service. They revealed that it had a smoker's package. You can still see it at Smythe European's (MB dealer) website.

When BMW lists "smokers package" on its list of options, it just means that it comes with a lighter and ashtray. Woop-dee-do!

These deals sound great. I am interested in leasing an '06 X3 for either 24 or 36 months 10k per year. I live in Denver and have just begun to look. Any suggestions on how best to proceed?
 
I'm looking for an X3 in gray, silver or something like that with preferably a black interior; premium / cold weather packages and xenon headlights (give or take on options). Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks Michael for the info on your lease. That sounds like a great deal. What else figured into the $3,156 due at signing? How much was the sales tax?
