One tip -- the dealership tried to sell us a tire protection, road hazard package. Passed on that, went to a chain tire store, and bought their tire protection plan for $79. (We passed on the extended maintenace, which was offered at $2,100.)
I have a question about the driver assist features. -- Has anyone purchased the optional $199 BMW concierge service? Do you find it worthwhile?
As I say, $500 over invoice (or at least what KBB, Edmunds, etc. SAY is invoice) + $180 training (listed on the price sheets) and $300 MACO (which every post I've read says is legitimate, varies by region). Then there's tire tax, a fee for getting the registration, title, tax (of course), etc. Details are: 2010 535XI 6-speed with PP, Sport Pack, Value Pack, Nav, PDC, Sat Radio, Split Folding Rear, Heated Rear, Ventilated Seats, Nasca Leather and Anthracite Header, $59,675 + tax, title, $45 doc fee, tire, reg (includes training and MACO).
Again, I'm TERRIBLE at negotiating with dealers and I didn't have to do ANYTHING to get $500 over invoice. Unless there's trunk cash I know nothing about, the economy must have these dealers desperate, especially at the end of the month and with the current 5 coming to end of production. I might be able to push for a few hundred less but, frankly, I like this dealer a lot and it's worth it to me to just do the $500.
As to your leasing or financing question: I don't want to finance, although I understand there's 2.9% financing available from BMW. Might affect the quote though. I MIGHT want to lease but I won't know what the programs are until the car is delivered in about two months. At that time I'll see what I want to do and what deal I can strike with my dealer, but if I need to I'll just pay cash.

Some friends have indicated that the dealer will not seriously negotiate pricing until the day I go to return the car. I would appreciate if anyone can share their experience with the end of lease for 5 series and if they were successful in negotiating a price closer to the Edmunds dealer trade in value.
Many Thanks
I can turn the car in and the Dealer will "re-sell" me this car "Certified" with 100,000 mile warranty for $33,900 and finance for up to 60 months @ 0.9%.
This seems to be a decent deal to me. I would appreciate any comments.
Thanks.
by looking at the current 528i , I like it a lot, and my wife force me to buy a new one because she dont like anything that used. I did the search from spy photos, really can't see anything. so my question is, if the new generation will not have that much change, I will just go ahead buy now. However, if new deign are far different exterior and interior than current model. that will makes me think I really bought a older model by next year and I am pretty sure I wont be able to change it for another 3-4 years.
so is it really worth the wait?
My local dealer has black/black 535Xi sedan pretty loaded up (m-pkg, etc)(however, it does NOT have Sirius or Comfort Access) which I really wanted. I'm pretty sure I can have the sirius installed via dealer - but Comfort Access needs to be installed by factory (I can prob live w/out this, if the deal is right).
Was told that w/ the upcoming redesign of 5 series - current in-stock inventory vehicles would be HEAVILY discounted. So I requested a quote on a specific vehicle and here is response from dealer:
>>Thank you for your inquiry in the 535ix we have instock. You are correct, with the upcoming redesign and the BMW Holiday bonus you can get a very aggressive price now on this car!
The list is $60,350 and after all discounts and promotions we can offer it for $54,334<<
I'm not sure if this is a 'deep' discount w/ all things considered. I guess I was expecting at least a ~$5k discount from dealer alone due to redesign, PLUS $2500 BMW cash - but dont know if im being unrealistic?
So..I figured I'd post the situation for all of you to weigh in on before I respond to the dealer.
Appreciate any perspective you might have - thanks in advance for your help!!

Also, 2011 redesign will be out early next year, and since the economy is still down, you should be able to get a good deal if you can wait, although you may not see all wheel drive til the fall.
On another note, depreciation is a bear right now. Buying a 2008 or 2009 that has already taken the first big hits makes sense. The allure of the "new" 2010 is surely strong, but a 2008 or 2009 with under 25,000 miles will be a huge bargain -- and you are likely to get all the extra features you desire.
Just my two cents . . . hope it is helpful.
I am looking to get a new 2010 BMW 528 i xDrive (Monaco Blue MET) with the following:-
* 4-Way Front Seat Power Lumbar Support
* Ambiance Lighting
* Auto-Dimming Exterior Mirrors
* Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror
* Dakota Leather Upholstery
* High Definition Radio
* Integrated 3-Button Universal Garage-Door Opener
* Navigation System
* Online Information Services
* Premium Package
* Real Time Traffic Information
* Split-Fold Down Lockable Rear Seats
* Through-Loading System
* Voice Command System
The dealer website (in Massachusetts) lists the price at $52, 250. I am thinking of putting in an offer of $44,000. Since the new model is round the corner, is this a reasonable asking price? Can I go lower?
Any insight appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.
We are looking at a similar car in NJ. Please let me know how your negotiations go. We are thinking of making a similar offer. Good luck. We also wanted to include the extended 2yr maintenance program, but at a much lower price than their quote, which was$2,000. We found out that the average cost of maintenance for the this car is $250/year for the first 4 years. So, we are going to base our offer on these numbers.
Best regards!

I am looking for any information on recent purchases of the 2010 BMW 528 xi. I might be purchasing within a week. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards!
has other 2008 525 CPO 21k miles with prem pkg, sport pkg for 34k$.
Any thought on price.
thanks!
If you are in NJ go to Bloomfield BMW they have the lowes price.
And dont forget to buy this year to get the stimulus tax break, deductuble sales tax that is. For me that is another $800.00 when I file my taxes.
I have a CPO 2007 530i, with almost identical features except the split rear seats and ski thing (whatever that is). I bought it last June at Greenwich CT BMW when it had 24K miles on the clock, they were asking $36,900, and came down to $36,200. The car is pristine, and still smells new even. It runs beautifully and I love it. It has a set of Bridgestone Potenza low profiles on it, I have Sports pkg also, and the sport rims that come with it. I am wondering if my tires are
"run flats" how can I tell? Since I have a donut for a spare, I have to assume I have the run flats? I s that a correct assumption? My dealer told me just the opposite, that if I have a donut, then I don't have run flats.
Can any one shed some light on it? Also, I read an article in the WSJ lately, that those same Bridgestone's are about $410 each. That seems like a lot of money.
They are practically new, so I don't need to worry about it yet.
And.. your dealer is correct.. if you have a spare, then you don't have runflats..
(Your tires will have a runflat designation on the sidewall, if you do indeed have them..)

BTW, congratulations on the new car: is it a 2010 or 2009?
Query: If this is a trade-in deal, have they given you good value for the trade? Are you financing with BMW? Is there room to get an even better deal. . . ?
Good luck.
Congrats on a great deal!
I figure if I go to a Town Fair Tire, I should be able to get away with upper $200's for maybe a Toyo or even Bridgestones. AGain, that was an article in the Wall STreet Journal.
btw, i had no trade-in. No financing from bmw.
I am about to pull the trigger on a 07 550i CPO with 8K miles (original msrp of 65K with options). Wanted to ask your thoughts on the following
1) final negotiated price of $37k
2) Wheelguard tire and rim warranty for $1500. Car has run flat tires
3) $2400 for extended maintenance program
think I will pass on the maintenance but am seriously considering the tire warranty.
Please advise
$1500 will buy you a new set of 4 tires.
2001 Prelude Type SH, 2022 Highlander XLE AWD, 2022 Wrangler Sahara 4Xe, 2023 Toyota Tacoma SR 4WD
pass on the wheelguard/tire.
If you want to get the maintenance plan, shop around. You can buy it later and I have seen it for as low as $1800.
#2 If a vehicle has the Sports Package, the wheel size is 18" and the rear tire size is different from the front ones, which IMO, deprives one from taking advantage on getting a deal on buying a set of 4 tires. Please, advise if I should avoid the Sports Pkg, and opt for the 17" wheels.
#3 Extended warranties and tire/ wheel warranties...are they mandatory as far as value goes, or are they good to have? Whats a good price for them?
Generally, is there anything in particular I should be looking for in the vehicle? Thank you in advance.
2) Tire dealers don't care if you have staggered sizes... they'll still make a deal on 4 tires.. But, the 18" tires are very expensive and wear very quickly... If you are concerned about tire wear and cost, stay away from the Sport package.
3) I've never bought one.. some people swear by them.... Keep in mind... any warranty/service contract is built to show a profit.... Chances are, you'll come out ahead without it, on average.. You might not, though..
