Bay Area (CA) ED dealer recommendation

Hello All,

I am going to be purchasing my first BMW (535i) with ED. But I don't feel like going through cut-throat haggling OR ****ty treatment for wanting a car for a fair deal.

I am right next door to BMW mountain view and BMW of Fremont, Stevens Creek are fairly close by.

Any particular CA\Dealership recommendation (CA contact\email etc) will be very helpful.

Thanks in Advance.

I am also considering an ED for 535i in bay area. Right now dealers are not real aggressive on 535i pricing in the bay area. There may be some benefit by combining efforts. Would you be interested in participating in a group purchase? I have done ED before and have several contacts with dealers that know the ED process pretty well.

Hey fellas, I can share my experience.

I'm in the east bay (Fremont) and was not able to get anywhere near invoice for either US or ED in the bay. Every dealer I contacted had the same consistent reply... a certain percentage off of MSRP.

I had 1 2 min phone call with one of the bimmerfest board CA's (Phillippe K) who is located in So Cal offering 1k over invoice for ED, and he accepted. The process has been super smooth so far, I'm scheduled to pickup in Munich in Sept, and will then spend the extra $70 to to fly to LA and drive it back home to the bay.

good luck with your search - JB

I just placed my order for a 535 with Michael Borbet at Mountain View. He matched the best price I found in calling around to about 7 dealers. I am paying $1000 over ED invoice, no markup on Lease Rate, $200 markup on Lease Acquistion Fee.

Garage List
About to placed an order on the 528i for ED pickup with these options:

Imperial Blue
Everest Grey
Premium 1
Rear shades
4-zone climate
HID
Navigation
iPod USB
Smartphone

I just wish to add the paddle shift w/o ordering the sports package...

ED Invoice + Options Invoice + $500 is the best I can get so far.

Trying to decided if I should get it from BMW SF, Stevens Creek BMW or Mountain View BMW (I think I can push down to $500 above, they quote me initially $1000)
