Thanks flightnurse--
 
I tried looking for a 2012 335xi coupe but the dealers seem to be sold out--
Stopped by and test drove the xi today and the salesman worked up the following--let me know your thoughts--
 
MSRP--- 56445 ( 335xi coupe / premium pak/ nav/ m sports pak with 18 inch wheels/ )
 
Selling Price--53493
 
Residual : 60%
 
MF: .00135
 
For 15,000 miles/ 36 months and $3000 down ( all taxes , fees, and 1st months payment ), it will be $645 a month...
Is this decent/ bad : can I move the needle lower?
 
Thanks for reading

First off the current M-sport package has been watered down, it doesn't have sport suspension like the previous generations, From reading what the M-SPort package is now, is has parts from the old Sports package and M style rims and body work. It doesn't even have sport suspension..
 
MSRP--- 56445 ( 335xi coupe / premium pak/ nav/ m sports pak with 18 inch wheels/ )
 
What other options do you have? I come up with $50,045 as MSRP for what you have posted.

Hey,
 
One thing I can tell you is that you shouldn't be charged the $1450 for leather because that is part of the premium package.
 
On a side note this car is almost identical to my build in 2011:
335xi coupe
alpine white on coral red leather
m sport
Bt with BMW assist
navigation
heated seats
10K miles
 
Sales Price: 47,995
My MSRP was $54,600
 
I gave $1200 out of pocket and pay $544 a month including NJ tax.
 
You discount doesn't seem like a lot at least to me.

When I build your car on BMW website the price is $56,295..
 
BASE MSRP $46,800
 
Mineral White Metallic$550
 
Coral Red/Black Dakota Leather$0 This is part of the Premium package
 
Dark Burl Walnut wood trim$0
 
M Sport Package$2,200
• 18" Light alloy Star-spoke wheels style 193M-with performance run-flat tires$600
• M Sports leather steering wheel with paddle shifters$100
 
Premium Package$2,000
 
STEPTRONIC automatic transmission$0 Not too sure if you want a stick or not
 
Comfort Access keyless entry$500
 
Heated front seats$500
 
Navigation system$2,150
 
Now if you getting a 2013, the discount they are giving you sound good, but there are other places where the dealer can deduct money from. Is the dealer have any add-on to the car? Play hard ball, remember, YOU do not need this car, THEY must sell cars..

I ordered a 2013 330I sedan it left the plant and is ready for shipping. I ordered the Luxury Line and the leather was part of the $1,400.00 luxury option. The ZPP premium package for $2,200.00 only consisted of: 322 Comfort access, 488 lumbar suport and 655 one year of Satellite radio subscription. I am loking forward for it to leave on the boat and arrive at the port of Baltimore.

This will be a very rare BMW...
 
With BMW now offering five lines of 3 series, each has it's own identity. So for the extra $1400 over the base 3 series, the Luxury model comes standard with
 
Unique design touches include:
Chrome kidney grille bars
18'' alloy wheels, multi-spoke design
Black signature key fob with chrome accent
Exclusive leathers and interior trims
Chrome exhaust pipe trim
 
so the Premium package will only include the Comfort access, lumbar support and sat radio, however if you look at the premium package on line you will see that whatever color leather interior you chose will be highlights in the premium package. If you didn't choose the Luxury line, then leather wouldn't be standard, but available in the premium package...

Thanks car expert--you're right; the premium package does include the red dakota leather: I left out the premium sound package for $950 ---
 
The deal that you got sounds really good. I am asking for 15,000 miles and my msrp is a little bit higher but at least I can use your build as a guage: maybe I can get the MSRP lower or have them pay for the taxes --
 
Thanks again
