Which price do I use to calculate options on a ED car? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Emon Crew · 10-31-2007, 08:15 PM

Ok, so I'm looking into gettin a ED 335 coupe. So I start off with the Euro dealer invoice of $34,910 and then I'm not sure what I do. Do I use the regular retail price of the options or the invoice price on options? (E.g. Navigation - $2100 is the retail price and $1910 is the invoice price.) I know after all is calculated, I throw in taxes, 750 for delivery/destination, title, and a dealer profit of $750-1000...but my main concern is whether I should calculate options with invoice prices or with retail prices.

Thanks in advance guys

Invoice pricing for everything!

Ever heard of the term "location, location, location" for real estate?

Well for a car it's "invoice, invoice, invoice".

Add up only the invoice price plus shipping and the markup your dealer will give you. Typically its between $800 and $1500. My dealer gave me $1200.
