Looking through my wife's X3 maintenance records. We took delivery of the X3 in July of 2007.
It went back to the dealer in September for a check engine light. Turned out to be a faulty carbon filter. The truck was in the shop for a day and my wife got a loaner and was no way inconvenienced.
The X3 did not return to the dealer until June of '08 for its first service. With over 15,000 miles on the odometer. Again, the truck was in and out of the shop in a day and my wofe was provided with a loaner car and not inconvenienced.
If that's unreliable to you, then I don't know what to tell you. Personally I would never own a Toyota or Lexus. I can't stand the floaty and completely isolated ride. Feels like you are driving your couch.

My point about is iPod is that, not only does BMW beats your Lexus in driving enjoyment it also beats the Lexus in entertainment features!!
Also, the funniest thing I seen recently are those Audi Q5 commercials that show all those lookalike RX's, so true
bottom line, go back to the Lexus Forum. Let us BMW people enjoy our own company!!!
You are right about the ride. Some like soft, some like a little harsh. It all depends what your perception is. My Dad has an '07 x5 3.0 with sports package and I don't think it rides harsh in any way. For my rear end, it is a little on the soft side.
Just curious, how often does your owners' manual say the RX has to be serviced? Have you checked with the dealer to see how much the service costs?
I know the BMW full maintenance isn't free & that they raised their service intervals significantly since they started offering "free" maintenance. It is built into the price of the car. If you look at how much some services cost for competing models like an ML350 or an Audi Q7 you'll always come out on top with the BMW.
As far as Lexus & Infiniti go, part of the beauty is that if you're leasing and you really want to, you can (I'm not recommending this) theoretically take the cars to Jiffy lube for an oil change.

1. My lease on my X5 is coming to an end. I'm interested in leasing another X5 (the 4.8) this month. Since I'm a returning BMW customer, what is April's money factor, residual value % for a 36 month, 15,000 mile lease. Are there any other values I should know or special lease options available. Edmunds "incentive list" for the X5 4.8 does not have any reported.
Thanks
Let us know how it goes...
I am planning on pulling the trigger on a x5d with premium package, cold weather package,rear climate package and third row seats with an MSRP of 59275 and an invoice of 54710. The offer price is 55K (290 over invoice).
Am I getting a good deal or is there room to negotiate still.
Thanks in advance.
I'm looking to make a deal on a 2009 X5 3.0 (9,000 miles on it) with an MSRP of $56,370 (Inovice $51,845). I'm thinking a fair purchase price would be around $45,000 ... any thoughts?
The 9K miles really doesn't bother me, the vehicle looks and drives great. I just need to know how to formulate a fair offer, or confirm that what I've come up with is already fair.
The vehicle is 100% the way I want it. It's in excellent shape, drives great. Is this close to a great deal? Should I jump on it, or walk?
Can anyone advise on the finance rates for a 2008 X5 CPO assuming a well qualified buyer?
Thanks
X5 3.0i
Premium / Tech / Rear Climate / Running Boards / Heated Seats / 3rd Row / Sat / ipod

Is this a good deal? I feel as though it is... but need your input.
thanks!!!
So, what's the MSRP, and how much are you paying?

Here's what I received today from a Long Island/NY dealer on a Select purchase:
x5 3.0i
MSRP: $54,784
Selling price: $52,265
Premium/Climate/Heated Seats/Sat/ipod
$5,000 down
2.9% interest
$643 months for 60 months
22,300 balloon buyout
Thanks.
X5 3.0i
Prem/Tech/Rear Climate/3rd Row/Heated Seats/Sat/iPod
$673.75/month for 60 months
$0 down
Balloon: $19,794
Selling Price: $55,705
One additional detail i forgot to include on my x5 35d was the car was being driven by the GM of the dealership and has about 2k miles on it, but BMW is extending the warranty by 3 months / 5k miles - so it works out in my favor at the end of the day - which is why the price is also lower.
MSRP: $60,970
Selling: $54,945
Note that the diesel qualifies for a 36% residual with the select program AND you receive an $1800 tax credit... it actually isn't that much more expensive to go diesel. Highly recommended!
Best of luck!
(I did not buy the car from Myrtle Beach, but they have a really good guy there - Josh Bauer - I will be posting more details about my sales person and the dealership soon)
I was quoted $52,265 as a selling price for less equipments, and with $5,000 down, I got $643 a monthly payment (including taxes) and 22,000 balloon payment.
I know that the interest rate is 2.99% but do you get the $1,800 tax credit.
I also noticed that you had a selling price for an x3.0 at the beginning and then you changed it to a 35d demo car, so which deal did you actually have?
Thanks again!!!
The quote I got on an X5 3.0i (gas / I6) from the BMW dealer in Myrtle Beach (Josh Bauer - really good guy, highly recommended) was the one I shared earlier:
x5 3.0i
Premium / Tech / Rear Climate / Running Boards / Heated Seats / 3rd Row / Sat / ipod
$0 out of pocket
2.9% interest rate
$678.84 / month for 60 months
$19896 balloon buyout
Selling price: 54380
No taxes in this payment since the vehicle is for South Carolina and we pay property taxes on vehicles every year.
Now, after I received this quote, I did some more research and found a demo 35d for an unbelievable price and that is the one I am going with. I am purchasing this from BMW of South Atlanta (Adrian Avila) from whom I bought my previous 328i - He is an awesome sales person and both deals were made over the phone - no bs, just straight talk and the best price.
There you have it, two references for two amazing sales people - best of luck in your BMW purchases!
I'm looking to buy a 2009 X5. Here are the options:
09 X5 3.0
Cold Weather Package
Technology Package
Ipod and USB Adapter
Premium Package
Rear Climate Package
Running Boards
3rd Row Seat
MSRP: $ 58,875
How much should I offer for this car? Does $ 54,700 seem fair? Looking to finance with a down payment of ~ $10,000.
Thanks
cold weather/premium/rear climate/technology/rear entertainment/running bds/ space saver spare/sat radio/ipod
$54k price (suggested price was $59k)
$5k down
2.9%/60 mos
$668/mo
$20k balloon payment
Thoughts? I have not negotiated yet- sales guy just came out with what he thought he could do... do you think there's any room for improvement? If so, what should I focus on improving: price or balloon??? Thanks!
I just wish this wasn't such a game and that I could learn my exact payment before actually signing on the dotted line.
a) approx. how much on average does a warranty affect the bottom line?
b) what kind of warranty would you recommend on an '09 X5? extended necessary?
c) anything else necessary in your opinion?
Thanks!!
I'm negotiating a deal to buy a 09 X5 3.0 with running bds, heated seats, ipod, BMW assist , space saver spare and the color I want (not black on black) for $48k. It's about $400 above invoice.
Also, I don't recommend the BMW select after I heard that I have to pay all taxes upfront (8.625% in NY) and I must purchase the car at the end of the term for 20k.
Do you think it's a good buy or should I buy a CPO car and pay the extra 4k to 8k?
As far as the Select program, I have been told you trade it for another car at the end of 60 months, or refinance it and keep the exact same payment/rate for the remainder of the balloon.
Thanks again and good luck!
Is this a decent deal.? It seems the wholesale on this car is about 41K.
How much does the dealer pay (dealer cost) to have the car certified though BMW. Thanks.

What is fair price for this?
Local dealer is offering only 3% off of msrp which is much higher than what i see on this chat board.
Am presently in Florida and they are willing to deal and ship car to me.
What should i offer over invoice?
What is shipping for 1500 miles to home?
2. Looking at a demo 2009 X5 with 9400 miles from another dealer near my home.
MSRP 58000 plus and invoice is 53000 plus but got sheet which shows dealer invoice was actually 50300.
Car has technology package, premium package, cold weather package, rear climate package, running board, satellite and ipod holder
They are selling for 52,500
WHAT SHOULD 10,000 MILES REDUCE THE MSRP BY????
Would like car if it was a fair price.
What can I do? Please give me your any ideas. Thanks a lot.

If you are unsure of what is going on, I deal with Keeler in Latham NY who are very good. Give them a call and ask if what you are being told is true. If so then you have to wait if you really want the car you ordered. I assume you have ordered one with the options you wanted. Ask your dealer to provide you with a loaner until yours comes in if it is going to be that late. I am sure you can try some negotiations. The more information you have the better you can negotiate.
If you do not want to wait for the new car, see if the dealer will cancel the order based upon the mis information they gave you on the delivery date. Perhaps you can just buy one that is in stock on some nearby dealer's lot, but perhaps not the color or options you wanted.
I've actually been looking at the x5 and the x6 recently. I'm not really in a rush to buy but because of my indecision, it's making it even harder to decide. should i pay more for the looks or less and go for practicality. does anyone know the actual price of the x6 right now? or have compared them? the x6 forums are completely dead.
Thanks
