Hello Car_Man, I've started to ask for quotes from different dealers on the upcoming 2008 328i coupe with following options ~ Premium package Automatic transmission White color with aluminum trim MSRP $40,600 However, I went to several dealerships and they are not willing to give me much discount on the car price. The best I've got so far is $39,800. But I know some people in this forum got a better deal than that on the 07 model.  The dealers told me the 328i coupe is very popular and sold out quickly before it hits the showroom. And I have to pre-order!  Also, another dealer quotes me a lease plan as follow ~ Car price: $40,000 ( $600 off MSRP ) 36 months 15K miles $2000 drive off $612 per month P.S. Anyone in Los Angeles area can recommand a dealer to me? Thanks, Sil |

| Sounds pretty good. Where did you get your car from? | |

Replying to: cdnpinhead (Aug 28, 2007 11:35 am) I very much doubt you can get an 07 328 for invoice or below, a good deal is $500-1000 over invoice for a 328i. BMW does not give holdbacks so a dealer would lose money if they sold a car for less than invoice (the fees would help). Anyway BMW's are cheap in the US when compared to Europe so stop trying to get a great car for $1.99!

Replying to: tigerkitty (Aug 29, 2007 2:13 pm) Just look at bmw.co.uk and the option prices. Steptronic is GBP1200 which is a 1:1 exchange rate even though it is $2 to GBP1. Metalic paint and comfort access are also much more expensive options in the UK than in the US even though the same factory is used and the delivery distance is much shorter. It is true that BMW is very popular in Germany, but that just shows that Europeans don`t mind paying for excellence. Whereas lots of Americans what something on the cheap so they buy Hyundai etc. Korean and Japanese manufacturers do not sell well in Europe (just check out Lexus sales comapred to Audi, MB or BMW - they are tiny).

Replying to: fourizonly007 (Aug 24, 2007 6:27 am) Now let's take a look at its selling price. This car's dealer invoice price is $31,795. The price that you were quoted is $1,360 over invoice. Plus this dealer is marking up BMW FS $625 base acquisition fee by $200, so you are really paying more like $1,500 over invoice. I would not be surprised if you were able to beat this price if you are in an area that has a decent level of competition. It wouldn't hurt to comparison shop with a few other dealers. Also, make sure to stop by the "BMW 3-Series: Prices Paid & Buying Experience" discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar cars lately.
