Packages Cold Weather Package

Options
STEPTRONIC Automatic Transmission
Comfort Access
Power Front Seats w/Driver Memory

MSRP is $37,590.00
Invoice is $34,500.00
Dealer $36,100.00

price is $1,600.00 over invoice and $1,490.00 off MSRP

is this a good deal?

chrissal1 · 09-29-2005, 04:51 PM

I would say yes because the Xi is newer. what other prices did you get?

Judged678 · 09-29-2005, 08:54 PM

which dealer did you get it from?....i'm from NY also looking for the same car

mds82 · 09-29-2005, 09:10 PM

i orderd my 325xi 3 months ago and got t for $1000 over invoice. try to go back to him for a better price. if not - north haven BMW in CT - thats where i got my quote, its a bit far from you, but its $600 - Dave McGovern

new0rder · 09-30-2005, 08:48 AM

I made a spread sheet for it, btw I am trading in my 05 325xi

Oz · 10-02-2005, 01:35 AM

Why don't you get the premium package instead of paying $900 for the seats? Is that because you don't like leather and bluetooth?

ska325xi · 10-02-2005, 04:04 PM

yea get rid of the "cold pkg" & the "comfort access".....is useless, thats $1350.
Xenon lights are a MUST!!!

I just order a 325XI...but doing European Delivery
Metallic paint
Automatic
Premium package
Sports package
Xenon Lights
Fold Down Seats
Navigation

total price $38000 (before tax and fees)

new0rder · 10-03-2005, 08:51 AM

I like the fold down seat and heated front seat on the cold pkg , and the power seat is just for convience,

ericd · 10-03-2005, 10:52 AM

The difference is how you pay makes a difference on the total price of the car(monthly). If your worried about monthly payments there are ways to lower or higher those payments. But if your paying cash then you may be able to haggle more in some cases. My dealer told me that it's actually worse to pay with cash because they would rather lease or finace you. What I do is find out exactly what I want(all options,etc.) then take the price from this dealer to the next and the next and I bet you that they beat it. If nobody can beat it then assume it's a good deal. I saved almost a $100 a month on my X3 by doing so. It seems with a new BMW that they don't seem to discount the MSRP much if not at all. But they should be able to give you their cost on any options EG. Logic 7 $1400 = dealer cost $1090...Hope this helps..

new0rder · 10-04-2005, 03:11 PM
