Hey guys, I'm new to this forum but have been a member of other bmw forums for numerous years as this will be my 5th BMW. I'm planning on ordering a 335i cp next week and just want to get an idea how you feel about my pricing and setup.

335i coupe 6sp
M Sport Pkg
Le Man's Blue/Glacier Silver Trim
Black Leatherette
Heated Seats
Ipod Adaptor

This is for $44,810, just $500 above invoice. What are the chances of getting it at invoice? Whats the closest or less then invoice has someone got their car from BMW for?
What is Training Service Fee, Maco Fee, and is there no budge in price for D&H?

My CA priced up the Mpackage at $2960 and another $500 for the metallic paint. I thought the Le Man's Blue price is already included in the Mpackage, am I mistaken?

TIA and I look forward to posting more in the future.

You are close enough. We don't like how BMW has been nickel and dimeing us with their tacky cost cutting measures. We shouldn't play the same game. Invoice + $500 is a good deal-- Take it!

JonTran8,
I am in the same boat and posted something similar in this same section. Haven't gotten much info in my thread, I'll keep an eye on yours and see if I can get a better idea on what to expect.

Thanks, good luck with your purchase.

oh gotcha. Cost of stuff goes up, I guess they just see it as an added cost for no reason?

I noticed that the majority of my customers aren't buying Logic 7 now, so goes to show that most people don't even care that much about it

Any idea if the M-sport package price includes the Le Man's metallic color or do they charge extra for it?

My dealer priced it up as an extra charge for metallic, while bmwusa site includes it in the price of the m-package

all metallic colors are extra.

Its about attitude, do you want to save the most or not?

Either way is ok. For me, I've made mistakes in negotiating
in the past.

Check out Edmunds.com

There are also factory to dealer incentives and
no matter how good a brand BMW is, they lost a lot
of money in 08.

That's why CPO sales are so much higher then retail.

I feel better after the fact, if I've done my research.

Have you also seen if any other dealers will beat what this dealer is offering?

I'm trying this now. Found out that MD document and fees are less then VA, I wonder if the VA dealers would work on pricing since I can drive 20 extra minutes to MD to save a few hundred.

They should, MD is a "capped" fee state (at $100 I believe), which will save you $200-300 above the typical doc fee charge. PA is the same way, I bought a car from a dealer there even though I live in NC, and that was an added part of the savings. Since you are ordering and can easily travel over, absolutely make the VA dealer reduce the sale price of the car to match the deal, or just use the MD dealer.

Good luck.
