Hi I am looking to buy a E92 325/330d this autumn for my wife.

I am looking at Space grey ,Auto ,Leather,Pro nav, Front and rear pdc.

List is £39250 .There is free Nav at present from BMW options so it drops to £37290 ,I was talking to a guy in the used BMW sales he said he thought the discounts were still available as well .If I can get 12% it would drop to £32815.


WHAT HAVE YOU MANAGED LATELY thanks

I got 12% off mine including the free options....

Look at that as the more realistic figure!

Sounds about right. Also, when you work out the percentage discount, do it on the price exc VAT. Obviously the dealer can't discount the VAT.

my thoughts 12% and PRO NAV

What model was that on?

Also if the dealer margin is only 6% or so, how do you manage to get such a good discount?

e91 335i - Like a lot of others, I got the price from a broker site and then spoke to a few dealers, I didn´t have a problem getting the discount. Car is now built and on its way to the UK......

TBH ,I wont pay that for one !.

[Irnbrukid]

Think it's 15%, i know a demo has 20% plus any incentives they are running at the time but they must hold the car for 3 months before selling.

[leetennis]

Can someone run through this with me... how does the whole broker thing work. I have something priced up with around 10% off but this was a "friend s and family" link. If anyone can get in with 12% im getting mugged off!

[225_AB]

15% is likely to be total margin including volume bonuses, survey scores and maybe even finance bonuses. Also of course there are large margins on options raising the overall margins.

Thats where the market is right now. The prices seem to have gone up, but you get leather as standard now.

I have it from a guy who has worked for BMW if they get everything right ,ie when the mystery buyer turns up from Bracknell late in the day and everything is correct attitude from staff and used stock is presented properly etc etc there is quarterly Bonus in the way off extra margins up to 2% more.Said extra runs for the whole next quarter.

.

Sorry what I should have said is there is a way of getting one for £5k
for 3 yrs on disability,My Father inlaw has been taken ill I am sure he will Qualify for the disability prog, He can no longer drive and my wife and my self will do the driving

Had a read through last night we are named as drivers and drive him around as and when ,free ins,tax,servicing,tyres ,breakdown etc.for 3 yrs depending on what you choose you get a up front payment 325dauto e92 is 5k.

If I buy my wife the car is £33k and will lose £15k in 3yrs plus all the cost .Bonus the old boy can still travel in style he had a e90 325I

What concerns me is its a 3 yr deal what if he doesnt live out the term of the agreement

I can sell my wifes e90 for £18k and bank the change

Lots to think about.

[CMX]

I paid £38,000 for a built to order E93 with a list of £46,290 (17.9% discount)

No px and no finance.

This was Sep 09 so may not be such good discounts now.
