p.s. - Carfax shows floor mats were installed twice at the beginning of the life of the car for some reason. Non-CPO cuz it's at a VW dealer (was previously leased from BMW, then a trade-in to VW). Brakes and tires are original.
Ok let's say that you need one set of brake pads for four tires. Find out ho much that would be with parts and labor by calling the Service dept. I would also check what the regularly scheduled service intervals say for replacement if certain parts. Otherwise you are laying 2K fir the security of knowing most things would be covered if hey break.
I am looking to lease a new 335i convertible. Estimated msrp of $62,000. What are the numbers like? I am looking for automatic, 34 months, 10,000 miles yearly. Looking to know best lease prices. What is the residual value on the car and what is the money factor? And what is a good deal for this car based on the msrp. I don't know how far to push the dealer. Can it go lower than invoice price? Is it 8% off msrp, 10%, 12 %? Thanks again
it covers all parts and labor but the NAV and CD player.
so he basicslly was saying i would break even after doing both(brakes + 1 service )
is it true the brakes cost that much?

Wow, my dealer(Swope BMW, Louisville KY) charges less than $110 for an Oil Service on my wife's X3, and a four wheel brake job was less than $1000.

Should I GO FOR IT?
Thanks
For a while, the 335i had problems with high pressure fuel pump failures. Essentially, that would lead to problems with the car starting, and if the pump failed while driving, the vehicle would lose power and be forced to operate at lower speeds. However, to my knowledge, BMW has since corrected this problem. Other than that, I'm not aware of any severe problems with the vehicle.
Thanks, that really helped a lot.

warranty expires in Dec. 2013
MSRP is $52k
They are already offering to sell you the car at $7,000 off MSRP, which is pretty good for a $52,000 BMW. To ask for a full $15,000 off sticker discount might be a little on the greedy side. As for leasing, they might be trying to make money off you by marking up the lease rate. What is the lease rate (money factor) & residual they are quoting you on the car?

This one was used by dealer as a loaner, 18k miles.
Paid $31.9 with new car financing rates on the loan.
Good deal?
Does any of you know when BMW will start a rebate for 2011 328i convertible?
And do you know how much the rebate will be?
I am thinking of making a deal on 7/31 or Thanksgiving holiday period.
I visited three dealers today and all of them gave me almost the same discount ~3.3K off from MSRP, which I think should be more for 2011 model. I was expecting at least 5K off from MSRP.
Probably I should wait till Nov or Dec to get 5K off???
Thank you in advance.
$3.3K off on one right now seems about right (depending on options).
They were also offering $1,840 off xDrive coupes and sedans (which I also took advantage of). But, I think that incentive expired on 6/30. Not sure if they extended it, or not.
I plan on closing out this transaction by end of this week, so any advice would be greatly appreciated !
My 2008 328i (no added features except ipod adapter + titanium silver color) end of lease buy out price is set at 21122 $.
Here are the other stats :
MSRP - 31749 $
Res - 21122 $ ( 66% residual value)
My monthly lease payments (including tax) was 400$ even (quite a good offer around the 2008 time frame, don't you think ?)
Here are some lingering questions before I close out this deal :
a) I have tried calling/haggling with multiple dealers and BMW-FS and it's now clear that no one will reduce the Residual value of 21122$, so if I choose to buy out the vehicle it will be at that price + tax + title/Reg etc .... Is this surprising to you ? More importantly is 21122$ a reasonable figure for a 328i (with the above extra features) with 24K miles.
b) Doesn't 66% residual seem a bit on the higher side ? This was obviously done to lower my monthly lease payments, in which case do I have any chance to bargain for a lower residual ?
c) I am not interested in CPO or extended maint since this is not going to be my primary car and I anticipate only around 50K miles in the next 3 years which is when the extended warranty/maint will expire. Besides after doing some calculations , it looks like for my mileage, spending out of pocket for the maint will be cheaper than buying the pre-paid extended maint ( offered to me at around 2500$) . Is this true ?
Sorry about so many questions, but any insight into this will be greatly appreciated!
Waiting to hear from you

b) 66% residual was high.... that's what made your payments so low, as you noted. That makes for a good lease deal, but not such a good buy at the end of the lease.
c) Yes... the extended warranty/maintenance wouldn't be a good deal, if you are only going to put 15K-20K on the car over the next three years.. you are covered for the first year, already.. $21K is pretty expensive for a second car that won't be driven much.

I've shopped around for 2008 328i with mileage/features like mine and find that 21K is as low as it can get ... as you noted used cars are at a all time high right now ... bad time to buy one
what is typical residual val for 328i ? 64 % ?
thanks

Is it a good deal?
If you negotiate a lower price from the dealer, then they have to buy the car from BMWFS, first... which basically means you turned it back in... and then those charges apply...
