Expect anywhere from $500 to $2000 off MSRP if you shop around. It also depends on your area. I've not seen any dealer selling the car at invoice, usually it's a figure over invoice. Also, there is another section here on e90post that relates to prices, I think it's dealer info or something like that.

I've yet to hear anyone get their car at invoice. Like HRC said, it's been $500-$2000 over invoice, with the majority falling in the middle of that range. Here's the link to the "Prices Paid" thread:

I got quoted 900-1000 above invoice from a good dealer, but decided to go with another dealer (1100 above invoice) casue he was also a good guy and was storing my tires for free for winters (quite important for me)

i purchased my 330i over at westmont bmw. i was able to get $1700 off from MSRP. you might wanna shop around a few dealerships before you settle. since i live in the south suburbs; i checked out orland park and westmont dealerships in illinois and shererville dealership in indiana. westmont was the best bet for us and the saleman was very friendly and did not pressure us like the otehr dealerships. i gave a brief review on the westmont and orland park dealership in the dealer review section.

Supply and Demand 101. Fewer E90s have been produced so far than people want to buy. Also a new design, and from the look of things - very popular. Don't expect much in the way of discounts. I got a little bit off mine, but I have bought from that dealer before - relationships do count.

RedStripe · 06-14-2005, 07:11 PM

What is the best people have been getting on the e90?

Has anyone gotten less than $1000 over invoice for a Euro Delivery e90?

Has anyone gotten less than $1000 over invoice on a regular US Delivered e90?

Like i said above, was offered $900 over invoice, but the dealer was a bit further from the one I went with, and the guy I went with offered to store my tires in the winter for free (the further one didnt have the space...

)

If you're financing also remember that $900 over invoice is great but not if they markup the financing too much. Always negotiate the price of the car and the money factor/interest rate in the same sentence when speaking to the dealer.

Yeah, you gotta remember these stealerships do this for a living. It is their job to make everyone think that they got the best deal ever. If I were buying Stateside, I would get a preapproval draft from my credit union with the amount I would be willing to pay for the car out the door (including sales tax, license, etc). Then you go into the dealership with a take it or leave it attitude. I am not saying be rude, just tell them that they can sell the car to you right this minute for the amount on the draft.

I just purchased an 2006 325i for roughly $2400 off MSRP at BMW of Dallas. They only had 3 325i left. The car is an standard model with options of Monaco Blue paint, front power seats with memory, steptronic transmission, and satallite radio prep. However, they lowed balled me on my trade in and my interest rate abit higher than I expected. All in all, I feel like I got an good deal.

nimamilani · 12-14-2006, 01:08 AM

dude, that is a good deal

uhaulball · 12-14-2006, 01:16 AM

i donno, i got my car at invoice, and this was a year ago.

hmmmmm....2400 off a 325 doesn't sound that good, because people are getting $1500+ off an e92 coupe. I got 1700 and 5.5% financing, no trade. The fella in Dallas said he got a high interest rate.

Interest rate, trade-in, add'l packages, these are ways for dealers to disguise a seemingly good discount.....but my friend did 4100 off a new E46 ZHP just when the E90 came out. imho 4k+ is a good deal on a discontinued model, otherwise I'd rather just get the current one. These cars are too expensive to shop on price alone....my .02
