Easiest Cheapest way to order a new E90!!!!

My Co-worker told me about this, his neighbor's bought his last 2 cars through the Costco auto program. Just go get yourself a $40 costco card and BAM! you're in! Go ahead and build your 06' 3-series through their website and see how much you'll save, it's crazy. This is how i plan to order mine next year.

I would say it is the easist way, but not always the cheapest way. However, it proablaly is the cheapest way for those who are afriad to talk to dealer.

I have tried Costco. Their price is OK, but I can do much better on my own. My 2 cents.

That's a great deal!, well i say easiest and cheapest because it does all the discounts for you, this is because when you go through the costco auto program you know exactly what you want and basically you are already a sold customer. which means the dealer doesn't have to try and sell you on a car at the dealership, you are already going into the deal knowing what you want, so they don't have to take a risk on making a certain amount of money by haggling with someone on one of their cars on thier lot.

so you pretty much get invoice price with a 10% discount on all the bells and whistles (options). So here's a general example of what you'll save. Givin this is in my zip code (Bay Area)

330i sedan
.............................................. Costco .............. MSRP
330i + Destination chrg. .......... $34,180.00 ...... $37,295.00

Premium Package ................... $2,000.00 ........ $2,200.00

Sport Package ........................ $1,455.00 ........ $1,600.00

Metallic Paint ........................... $430.00 ........... $475.00

Comfort Access ...................... $455.00 ........... $500.00

Total price (-tax & registration). $38,520.00 ...... $42,070.00

That's $3,550.00 in savings off MSRP with no hassell.

So i guess if you'd decide to haggle with a dealer this is a great starting point at least. Say to the dealer you can get the car at this price guarrenteed (giving that you have a participating dealership in your area) and see what they'll work with you on. Anyway I'd encourage you to go to the website and build your own BMW to your specifications (takes 2 mins) and check out the savings. Enjoy!

Interesting that's invoice price, why would you still want to haggle?

BTW I just checked it out, that's not the sales price. That's just the invoice, they show you the actual sales price when you contact the authorized Costco rep at the dealership. It's just showing a comparision of the invoice vs. MSRP costs which is posted here too.

LOL no, I didn't contact a dealer. I was just checking out the link. I've already closed my deal.

I'm new to this forum but I can tell you that I wasn't impressed with Costco's auto program when I was shopping for the 330i. The best price they came up was $500 under MSRP and that sucked. I checked with Edmunds.com and they were able to locate me another dealer within 30 miles and beat Costco's price plus an extra $1800 off.
