$1000 over invoice, plus my opinion on space gray vs. sparkling graphite
Took the plunge today!
I put my deposit down on a special order for March Delivery. I will finalize order in January but here is what I have: 2007 335i Coupe Space Gray Metallic A52 Coral Red Leather LCD1 Aluminum Trim 4AD Sports Package ZSP Navigation 609 Cold Weather Package ZCP Park Distance Control 507 After reading posts about the purple/pink hue in Sparkling Graphite I was a bit skeptical. I still think Sparkling Graphite is a beautiful color, but even today, which was cloudy, I could see the purple/pink. Plus I see so many sparkling graphite e90 on the road today. Two cars down was Space Gray, and even though it was a bit dirty and it was cloudy today, I loved it. Definitely a gray/silver combination as opposed to Sparkling Graphite which is more gray/black in my opinion. No hate against Sparkling Graphite, and Montego is striking in person, but I loved Space Gray and am not looking back. Coral red is not nearly as bright in person as you see in pictures online. Very sporty, unique and European. My experience with my CA and the dealership was very pleasant, I got an offer sheet for $1000 over factory invoice in writing, signed off by management. If anyone is interested in a similar deal send me a PM as I am sure my CA will welcome incremental business! Thanks for reading! |

I really think you should consider going with popular grain grey wood trim with the coral red interior. IMO It looks much better than the aluminium with the red. Having seen both of them in person the grey wood is a much better fit.
Otherwise great choices for options. |

43,175 - about $250 more than what I calculated, but I am not going to worry about that small difference

Yes, I would be interested in that too as I have seen some dealerships quote a number as the "invoice price" when in fact it wasn't. I'm not saying this is/was the case here, but never hurts to double-check. |

I think you can't go wrong with Space Gray though - it suits the E92 very well, looks modern, and is exclusive to the coupe (at least for now). I feel sorry for you guys in the US having to wait 4 months for your new cars, perhaps I was lucky but I got mine in just under a month - the dealer had a production slot allocated and changed the spec to suit my order. I didn't get much of a discount though - they knew they could easily sell the car if I didn't take it.

I would recommend comfort access - but this is my personal opinion.

when you say 1000 over invoice, does that mean over invoice from the msrp or that plus invoice on all the options as well.??
