It would be great if i could get some response from other BMW buyers in the North East Region.
do you guys think the 2010 BMW 328XI with the Premium package at 35990 is a good deal. The only thing I did not choose is Navigation system in the car.
thanks in advance for everyone's response
I am buying the car in the Northern Virginia area... please let me know if anyone was able to get any additional discounts, since the spring 2500 credit is not available anymore

I'm also planning to pay for the Maintenance program upgrade (~2000 $). Does this deal sound any good? I'm looking for some quick advice as I need to get back to the dealership soon.
The price for the car is coming to be 35990. What do you think. Should I lease/finance a little confused.
Thanks

I've been here before.
Here's the news:
I took delivery today of my new (!) 2011 335i xDrive.
Right from the window sticker:
Tasman Green Metallic
Oyster/Black Dakota Leather
Cold Weather Package
Premium Package
Sport Package
All-Wheel Drive (Duh!)
Heated Steering Wheel
Park Distance Control (front & rear)
Satellite Radio (So far, every channel is the Sirius channel, and is really annoying. I'll figure this out.)
Harman Kardon Surround Stereo
Now for the details:
Transmission (6 MT - MANDATORY!!!!!) is melted butter smooth.
Engine (N55? I can't remember if the new one is N54 or N55). Smooth for having 4 miles on the odometer. I haven't really nailed it yet, but the power curve seems to be very smooth and continuous. Someone had posted some time back that the new engine is quieter than the previous version. I say that, once climbing past 3,000 RPM, this engine emits a growl much better defined AND enjoyed than before.
Comfort? Definitely.
The really bad news?
BMW has gone overboard with being socially conscious to the point of being really blind to current culture, buying habits and technological power requirements.
In their apparent attempt to be socially conscious, they removed the ashtray with the "flippable" cover that released every single time you dusted the Dark Burl Walnut trim. Kudos to BMW for removing the "ashtray" but I'd really like to know who the total moron was who endorsed the removal of THE POWER OUTLET THAT SUPPLIED JUICE TO OUR RADAR DETECTORS, (in my case Garman), and anything else that required power (defibrillator?). I can only conclude that this is a monumentally stupid decision that no one, anywhere in BMW, realized is really going to piss off BMW customers. GPS, radar, iPod, etc units are everywhere. How did BMW think they were going to be powered? If I'd known, I'd have had serious second thoughts about my purchase.
I spent big money on a Y-joint to get my Garmin and Escort 9500ix to be powered by my $51.000 car.
If they don't fix this, free, I will shop Audi from now on.
One more really aggravating issue:
The Finance guy ran the Purchase & Sale Agreement at MSRP in spite of the GM writing the deal up at Invoice minus $1840 Option Credit plus &750 profit. When I told him this was wrong, he admitted "Oops, my mistake". Either the guy is incompetent or a cheat. I can't see it any other way.
My deal was good, and I'm happy, but the best advice is to be extremely vigilent on every tiny little detail because no matter how friendly the are, they are not your friend going in. If you establish a friendship you value coming out, so much the better.
Good luck. I really do like my new ride, and I would not hesitate to go back to BMW of Sudbury (MA) again. The GM and salesguy were awesome. BUT, I would be very careful at checkout.
msrp 40700,
37000 otd price a good price??
I live in Los angeles, tax rate is 9.75%
I got a 2010 xi - fully loaded 2010 model for 40K OTD @ 2.99 for 72 months.
But I live in NJ. So not sure that makes a difference.
Good luck

They are paying off my other lease, total of $2650.

I think he said without the payoff of the other lease it would be
$3000 Drive
36 mo / 15k
770 including taxes
I'm not sure if this is a good deal or if I should wait until the money factor decreases? Does anyone think it will decrease significantly for the June numbers?
Thanks.

Thanks, and yes, and I found one there, too! I hadn't looked yet but just completed reading the manual which specified that there is an adapter there. Lo and behold! I went out to the car, probed around and found what has to be a 12V adapter sleeve. Good thing the car wasn't in 'Ready" mode as I stuck my finger up the sleeve in my over-anxious excitement! Now, if I can only figure out what they did with the "Heat-at-Rest" feature, I will be very happy.
Early driving impressions of the 2011 335i xDrive:
Simply put, very impressed. MUCH BETTER exhaust burble, at idle and beginning around 2,500 RPM and up. I haven't gone beyond 4,000 RPM during the break-in period but I'm sure it gets better to redline.
HD radio is a huge improvement, where it can be steadily received. In the Boston 'burbs, WICN Jazz is intermittent but where it did come in as HD, it is much clearer and better defined. Alas, HD radio is also available in a Ford.
Sound insulation also seems to be much better. My neighbor was mowing his lawn and I didn't know as I pulled into my driveway and looked over and saw him.
Engine pull with the Valvetronic is smoother, but "deceptive". Until I can freely rev the engine, I can't really say. It may be weak (I seriously doubt it) or it may take a more purposefully aggressive right foot to derive the biggest smile. After another 1,000 miles or so, I'll re-post. The brief bursts were well rewarded. I have no doubt it will be at least as much fun as the 2007 335xi. By the way, it came stock with the ContiProContacts, not Bridgestones.
For now, I will say that trading my 2007 335xi for the 2011 335i xDrive was a very good decision. This was a purchase rather than a lease. I will try to upload pics, too, if I can figure how.
I'll take some shots of the interior when it stops raining here. The Oyster interior looks really great! I've been warned against wearing dark blue jeans on these seats. A small sacrifice, to be sure. The car has been washed and waxed with Collinite wax (a second coat to be applied this week) and the windows have been tinted, 35% transparency is all they'll allow here (in MA). Next will be Venture Shield on the front bumper including headlights, exterior mirrors, trunk lip, and rocker panels.
I am sitting on my hands until the Venture Shied can be applied and the 1,200 miles have been run up. The car wants to go! I have barely 180 miles on the odo so far.
Check out the link; let me know what you think.

Would be interested to see the interior, as well..

Someone had posted recently that driving this car with this exterior/interior combination was like sliding into a Maserati each time. I couldn't agree more, and it's more reliable! One customization, which I credit to my wife who got one from me as a birthday present (!), is the replacement of the brushed aluminum shift knob with the Dark Burled Walnut knob. It's a small change, but very significant, and it feels better with no loss of grip. I shopped around and found ours at BMWPartsforLess.com. I think they are actually BMW of Providence, R.I., but who cares!
And for those of who think that giving a shift knob for a birthday present to my wife makes me a stinker, I wanted her to think of me every time she shifts gears. And believe me when I say it, she loves it! My (public) nickname for her is Maria Andretti! She can hold her own, easily, on the twisties!
To the HOST, you HAVE to let this one go through!
Best regards,

The secret for me was patience. I didn't need a car...had a 2007 VW Passat that ran great, so I set the price and kept walking away when they didn't meet it. They wanted me to trade in the Passat, which they were low balling me on. They came way down on the price of the BMW and were compensating by low balling the trade in, so I got them all the way down to $28K and at the last minute took the Passat off the table. I stuck to my guns and held them to the $28K they offered me without getting ripped off on my trade in. The salesman pulled me to the side away from his manager and told me I did a great job negotiating the price.
They are not losing any money...trade in value for the BMW was around $22K, so they still got a healthy profit off the deal. There is much more room to negotiate vs. a new car. Dealerships make the most profit off their used vehicles.
2001 Prelude Type SH, 2022 Highlander XLE AWD, 2022 Wrangler Sahara 4Xe, 2023 Toyota Tacoma SR 4WD
I'll go with edmunds appraised value and other publication (I'd rather not named cause host my not be happy with it, you can google them) to see what the similar car goes for on the open market and add about $2k for CPO.
Quang, yes I was refering to 2010 brand new leftover on dealer lot 3-series cars.
I have had following information from a out of state dealer regarding my price request.
2010 335xi
Auto
Cold and Premium Packages, Navigation.
Special paint, leather interior.
MSRP: $53,050
Initial offer price from the dealer : $48, 975
Monthly payment: $659 plus tax.(12k, 36 months)
Drive off amount : just the first month's payment of $659
But I need to figure out the title and registration by myself. the dealer is located out of my state. I would like to have your comments or suggestion to lower the offer price.
Thank you in advance.
Lex.
Here you go. It is SWEEET! I love settling into the sport seats, but I caution: Treat it well, and often. My detailer suggested not wearing dark blue jeans as the dye will rub off onto the seats.
And it still smells soooooo good!
This link should include the interior shots. Enjoy!
