I'm heading to the local BMW dealership tomorrow morning and going to try and slug it out on a new 335xi ..

54,100 is the retail in Canada (before options)
43,xxx is the retail in the USA (same)

I know in Canada they offer 4k off the retail price if paying cash. (big deal)

Has anyone been able to beat up a Canadian dealership for a decent price , all things considering?

I'd like to hear your experiences before I go take it in the rear

Thanks in advance.

In my experience (and that of a few friends who recently purchased), the local dealership is prepared to give a small discount but that's about it. They are able to sell all of their production slots each month so there isn't much incentive to deal. If you don't take the slot, someone else will. As a matter of fact, some dealerships have been known to acquire production slots from other dealerships.

If you do negotiate a great deal, let us know and how you did it. Good luck and don't forget to update!

I was able to get an additional 2%, without much trying. That was 2 weeks ago, on a vehicle not on the dealer lot.
