That is great, how about the packages?

Slke46 · 09-20-2007, 11:08 AM

Nice... has anyone heard of BMW taking back a leased car if you purchase another from them?

So, it should have no Logic 7 system and replace with BMW Assist, right?

BTW, where did you get this information / price from?

alanchan · 09-20-2007, 12:24 PM

any pricing on 2008 M3 yet??

Rewted · 09-20-2007, 12:56 PM

I've confirmed this with both my dealer and BMWCA customer service. MSRP hasn't changed, nor has pricing on other options. Blue tooth (reg $1200+) is now standard on the premium package too.

I called BMW Canada and he told me over the phone. I also called the the sales consultant to verify. Anyone know what the finance rate for 48 months?

Yes but Logic 7 is out

T i h o r · 09-20-2007, 01:23 PM

So wait, if you order the Premium Package, you get BT for free?

Compared to 07's prices and packages

Free? No. Part of the premium package now, but as noted above Logic 7 (a $1200 option) has been rolled out.

who's ur daddy? · 09-20-2007, 01:29 PM

WTF? So an $1100 option has been put in and a $1200 option taken out? Assuming you're okay with the substitution, that's $100 loss in value. Plus, perhaps more people would want the sound system over the BT feature methinks.

I don't have all the details, but an earlier post suggested a drop in the price of the PP which could be explained, in part, by this substitution.

BMW also thought that more people ordering the PP would want the BT feature (executives always on the phone?). Personally, I agree with your view that the sound system is a must. Apparently, they are rolling the Logic7 into a package with the USB option. Will have to wait to see full pricing...

Logic7 was never standard in Canada, that's only in the USA. In it's place we get what they referrer to as "cold weather package".

linus · 09-20-2007, 01:36 PM

Logicc7 was standard in the premium package in Canada from what I recall.

Ah my bad, I thought you meant just standard on the car.

MAZINGER · 09-20-2007, 01:42 PM

Nav. Package: $2900
Pre. Package: $3950
Pre. Sound Package: $1200
Sport Package: $2000
Opt. Equipment: same as last year
new opt. equip: Elec. rear sunshade: $400

335xi:

MSRP: $54100
Nav. Package: $2900
Pre. Package: $3950
Pre. Sound Package: $1200
Sport Package: $2000
Opt. Equipment: same as last year

scoop · 09-20-2007, 01:45 PM

The quote I received a couple of months back -- based on 07 pricing -- had Logic7 as part of the $4,200 premium package along with leather and a couple of other toys. I was told then that it would be an option for 08.
Either way, the fact there is no increase goes against what dealers back then were anticipating.

CaptChaos · 09-20-2007, 01:57 PM

With the C$ rocketing up against the US$, it would have been a bad move on their part to raise prices.

T i h o r · 09-20-2007, 02:01 PM

As much as I hate the US, sometimes I wished I lived there.

Besides the fact that our dollars are almost even, they have some of the best deals. I woulda saved over $10K buying from the US.

However, the BEST deal I've ever seen there is, 40 chicken mcnuggets & 2 family sized fries for ..(drumroll please).. $10.99 !!!

linus · 09-20-2007, 02:04 PM

Copied from another thread I posted to earlier today:

I used to figure it was not worth the hassle when the Cdn was worth US$0.85. Now at parity, things change DRAMATICALLY.

Here's what I'm considering:

E92 335i Sport, 19", PDC, Premium, Cold Weather (incl as std in Canada), USB, Comf Acc., Bluetooth (extra in Canada, incl in PP in US)

US Price including destination charge before taxes and duties: US$48.7k

Cdn Price including destination charge before taxes: Cdn$63.6k

Now, I assume I will get a 4% discount on the Canadian vehicle and 0% on the US (not sure if the latter will be the case, but I'm being conservative). Second, I'll apply duties and taxes to vehicles as relevant. What I will not factor in are some of the fees that would be required in the customizing for Canada process.

All in (excluding import/customization fees, but including duties and taxes)

US vehicle into Ontario: $59k

Cdn vehicle: $70k

The difference between the two of about $11k is huge. Assuming that other costs amount to $1-2k, the savings is still substantial. I'd say well worth the hassle given the state of the currencies today.

Let me know if I've missed anything here.

And that is why the USA can no longer sell new BMW vehicles to Canada. We all could have saved a few thousand dollars. :|
