I want to do as everyone is suggesting and offer $1000-$1500 over ED invoice (plus invoice cost for options), but I need to know WHAT the ED invoice is to start off with. I want to get this sorted out this evening as I can still go pick it up in mid-July but longer I wait, the more my window closes. I am looking at 335i Coupe, graphite, with 205, 322, 609, ZPP and ZSP. Does anyone know the up to date ED invoice price for the 335 coupe? TIA.

have you ordered your car yet?

Not yet, I was going to go to the dealer tonight with all my figures documented, but I want to make sure I have the correct figures. I put together a spreadsheet and am currently using a figure of $34,560 for ED Invoice on a 335i coupe ($200 increase from July 06 prices from what I gather). I also am not sure if I can add up the INVOICE prices on the options and tag on some dealer profit or if they will insist on MSRP prices for options. I currently have:

ED Invoice 34,560
Steptronic 1,210
paddle shifters 90
comfort access 455
Navigation 1,910
Metallic paint 430
Premium pkg 2410
Sport pkg 1000
Training svc fee 180
delivery 775
Dealer profit 1000 (I am willing to go up a bit here if necessary)

Total 44,020

Not sure if they will laugh me out the door. I have been to the dealer twice already and they know I want to order - they said July dates are still available, but we have not discussed pricing yet and I need to get the order filled out, pay my $1000 deposit and I assume we need to agree on a final price before I can do that.

You won't know for sure until it gets loaded onto a ship.

My 335xi has been sitting at the port for almost a week now. WTF?!?!?! Still status 193 with my dealer. I've gotta think that it'll be loaded onto the ship any day now.

You can either get the ships name form your CA or check on the WW site 48 hours after the ship departs Bremerhaven.

Yeah but on ones that others have pasted, I could have sworn it says Bremerhaven there...which makes sense! Oh well, i'm sure it will be fine. I hope!

As a side note, it's interesting that if you copy your bill # and then click Track by Bill of Lading Number, and paste it in, you can see all the cars on the boat. Looks like 711 cars on the Toledo!

No, it means it's on a train going to the port.

purplewidow · 04-06-2007, 10:47 PM

3-4 weeks till you see her..

11-14 days on the boat and about another 7 once she reaches the port maybe more depending on your local.

maz, you can begin to track the car once you have a VIN by going to the Wallenius Wilhelmsen website and typing the VIN into the auto cargo tracking.
Your car will probably take 8 - 10 weeks to arrive.
Unlike in the U.S. there is no website to track by production number, and calling BMW Canada (as I did) will yield a comment such as "check with your dealer, we can't help you".
Mine was ordered Feb. 19th, I got a production number March 5th, and received the VIN April 4th.
So far I have had no luck with the VIN on the WW site, it does not recognize my VIN, so I have no way of knowing which ship it will sail on.
Dealer claims I will have the car at the end of April - I have serious doubts unless it's on the water now. When I ordered a MINI it took a month from the day the ship sailed to receiving at the local dealer.
You may want to tell your dealer to inform you immediately of the VIN once they have it.

purplewidow · 04-07-2007, 12:44 PM

yeah and as for the fist post, east cost deliveries come on kline also!!! that should be changed i was all confused b/c of this when i read this post for the first time 2 months ago..
