Any forum members from Western Canada?

Ponchoyu · 07-10-2005, 07:57 PM

You got one here in Calgary!

JVFan · 07-10-2005, 09:06 PM

Hey Ponch:

I drove your exact car on Sat. with Quincey at Calgary BMW on Sat. I am in town for the Marathon this weekend. I ordered a 330i SG Sport 6 manual from The BMW Store in Vancouver. Actually my brother and I both did. THey are flying us out on Aug. 27 for delivery.

Got an awesome deal...close to 2700 off MSRP with flights, mud flaps all weather mats, BMW Williams jackets for ourselves and wives and block heaters included too!

After driving it yesterday(first time) I can hardly wait...the car is absolutely on rails!

RED325I · 07-11-2005, 01:07 AM

Hey I'm from Calgary...ordered a 325 auto with logic sound, sport pgk....you got $2700 off!!?

Wow that is a good deal...that's $2700 each car right? Man did you know someone? I only got a okay deal but really wanted the car...its coming in August....

JVFan · 07-11-2005, 02:09 AM

Morgex insurance has a "More Car for You" program where they elimate the salesman and deal straight with the Sales Manager.

We go 2700 off each car! Yep it was sweet!

I've got one question... it was cheaper to get cars in BC, than Alberta?... We've got another 7% tax than you do!?!?! If that's the case, I tip my hat to you both - that's an amazing deal!

A buddy & I got a deep discount a number of years ago at a VW dealership by organizing and agreeing to buy two cars at once. I'll never forget the SA's look when we walked in and told him we wanted two!

Ponchoyu · 07-13-2005, 12:28 AM

Hey JV....did you get charged the 7% PST? I know from experience that you have a car from BC shipped to Alberta, you don't have to pay the PST. However, you go to BC and pick up the car you have to pay the GST. So, if you got charged the GST on top of all this, and you're still ahead, GREAT JOB! Plus, you got way more perks than I did when you bought the car. I was only able to add the full 3M on the front end and they added $1000 to my trade in.

I asked about the block heater for the car and Crowfoot BMW told me that there is not an option for one because the engine uses synthetic. Are you sure you got one?

JVFan · 07-13-2005, 12:41 AM

No PST on the car but I did pay GST obviously. The deep discount was b/c of the buyer group and the fact that we were buying two. mI have bought two cars in Sask. and never paid PST by driving them back to AB. Cars are different than other goods I guess.

He said they can put in a block heater but I have heard before that BMW doesn't typically do it. I'd prefer to though as I always ran synthetic in my Jetta and it was still VERY hard on it to start if it wasn't plugged in at -35!

I was looking around on he site today and I noticed the car with pics of the mud flaps....I changed my mind and I'm getting him to put in aluminum pedals instead...the car looks bad with them IMO.

Ponchoyu · 07-13-2005, 12:54 AM

Well, let me know when you get the car and come into Calgary! We should meet up and compare our cars!

JVFan · 07-13-2005, 10:02 AM

Sounds good!

stevebmw3 · 07-15-2005, 02:54 AM

I`m also from Calgary.Just let you know that i have a same blood like you guys.

Ponchoyu · 07-16-2005, 11:21 AM

Well as soon as everyone gets their E90s, we should meet up somewhere in Calgary!

stevebmw3 · 07-19-2005, 02:41 AM

I agree for meeting.
{Diferent theme}.
Do you guys counting how many E90`s your met on streets?{I don`t know how much BMW sold}, but i saw just two of them{325i Gray met. NO SP pack and Black 325i -total-tinted windows}-{till today}.And both on Esso pump on Edgemont.

Therefore I`m happy.I dont want to see them like Cavaliers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JVFan · 07-19-2005, 12:55 PM

I've only seen one in Vancouver....none around here!....Lloyd is only about 25000 people. I'll be the only one for a while I'm sure. Guys around here put 55000 into pickups!

modz · 08-09-2005, 01:29 PM

hey guys, im from Vancouver, B.C. will be getting my monaco blue 325i with aluminum trim not the silver plastic trim, premium package next week. I really got a good discount from Brian Jessel in Coquitlam, service is excellent and they give you extra freebies when you purchase one. Can't wait to drive the car :rocks:

Ponchoyu · 08-13-2005, 10:59 AM

Alright Calgary and surrounding areas.......are you ready yet for a meet?

JVFan · 08-14-2005, 11:42 PM

stevebmw3 · 08-15-2005, 02:53 AM

I`m going to order soon to get it in dec.,so I`m just in waiting class. But i like all meetings of enthusiasts.

bmwczech · 08-19-2005, 12:47 AM

Hi All in Western Canada, I am from Victoria and planning on getting an e90 in October. This site is great, it sure makes me feel better knowing that I am not the only e90 car crazy freak out there.
Modz, I understand you purchased your 325i at Brian Jessel in Vancouver. I was just out there a few weeks ago. WOW, what a dealership. The inventory of cars they have is amazing. Last month this dealer sold just over 200 cars. Apparantly it is the largest dealer for sales volume in Canada. Can you tell me how much they went down from the MSRP and what free stuff they threw in as part of your deal?
