Buying a new 2009 / 3-Series... by steven48

Hi my name is Steven, and I'm about to buy a new 3-Series coupe, with the manual tranny. Can anyone give me any advice or critisism.about the 3-Series. It is my first BMW and presently I'm driving an Infiniti G37S coupe. It's a great car, but it just doesn't have that feel of being "one w/ the road." Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

What's not to like?
 
Actually if you are a fairly tall/large person you'd best take a good 1/2 hour ride in one, and pay attention to how you feel, comfort-wise. Are you legs hitting anything. Does your back feel pinched or your shoulders restricted? How's head room? 3 Series can be a little tight for some people.
 
Have you decided on a 328 or 335? coupe or sedan?

End of lease - 2003 330i - What to offer the lease company by thriftytoolguy

Hello,
 
I'm at the end of my CPO lease on a 2003 330i. The car has been a gem and mileage is low, so I'm interested in buying the car. Considering the current turmoil in the car market, I'm wondering what is the best basis for determining my purchase offer to BMWFS? The end-of-lease residual value is $13,300 which is near the projected (Edmunds) wholesale value. However, would BMWFS something less, on the order of $11,000.
 
Thanks,
 
TTG

Not much chance of negotiating a residual price. I'd say nil but no harm in asking. Occasional instances of them relenting are reported but I've never personally seen it happen. Maybe on a car with a bad resale value but a BMW....don't think so.
 
BMW Financial would much prefer to sell your car at auction I think.

BMW / Run Flat Tires by steven48
Jun 07, 2009 (2:41 pm)

Hi, I am a big fan of BMW, but I need to weigh in about these Run Flat Tires. All the reviews I have read have been mostly negitive. Not only are they noisey, but should be an option. BMW should have a wheel well under the trunk if I want to change over to normal tires and store a spare. The way it is now, I have to put the spare in the trunk. Why does BMW force people to buy the run flats, make it an option and give me a wheel well and a jack for g-d's sake. The cup holders are a joke too. Otherwise its a very nice car, just get rid of the Run Flat Tires. Thank You.

I hear BMW is researching 4th dimensional physics for just this purpose.
 
In the 3-series, they hope to be able to place a small interdimensional portal in the trunk to create an additional 3 cubic feet of space for a full-size spare tire. In the 7 series, the portal will be large enough to fit a human body (with limbs intact).
 
As an added bonus, the wheel and tire (or whatever you choose to put in there) will add no weight to the car!

Yeah, I read about the new research BMW is doing as well. If I recall correctly, they're going to implement the spare tire portal first and it's going to be called the TARDIS Trunk.
 
Best regards,

They'd have to pay the BBC more than the cost of development just to use the name.
