I don't think you can post the name of the salesperson. Instead I can tell you that if you go to the braman bmw web site and look under the Departments tab then under Sales Advisors, he is the second from your left in the second row. Tell him Rudy sent you.
Options: Sports; Premium; Cold Weather; Steptronic Auto; Sports leather steering wheel and paddle shifters; Comfort Access; Navigation; HD Radio; Satellite Radio; ipod/USB adaptor; for 55,100 plus tax and license.
If you take into account that the BMW pricing has increased as of 5/10/08, this price is actually below the invoice.
This dealer is in Texas. :shades:
Features listed are:
Automatic transmission
Remote keyless entry
Sunroof
Wood trim
Alloy wheels
Dynamic Stability Control
So, it sounds like the only "option" is automatic and these cars would have unheated leatherette seats, non-metallic paint, no bluetooth and the basic stock radio.
The ad says 7 are available at that price and it's in Northern California.
I calculate:
It would be about $34,700 after tax, license and doc fee.
If I weren't going to put down any money the monthly payment would be about $637 a month for 60 months.
If I wanted payments under $500 a month, I'd need to put down about $7400 in cash and/or trade equity.
I'll have to check with my insurance agent to find the latest insurance rates so I could calculate my total monthly costs.
I'll also need to check on what I can expect to pay for tire replacements. At least the base tires should be less expensive than the Sport Package tires.
I'm more likely to get a lower priced car than a new BMW, but I'm curious about this.
Is there anything fantastic about this advertised special or should there be better deals available now?
The other post was asking for a lease calculation and other lease-related questions, so it was posted in the lease questions area.
Does anyone have anything useful to reply with?

Seems like a good deal with minimal haggling.
I checked the Costco special at another dealer and it was $500 over invoice. I might have taken it, but they didn't have the color or equipment I wanted in stock and could not find one in their locater computer. They told me the car I told them I saw at another dealer must have already been sold.
I went back to the first dealer and checked the lot again and the car was still sitting there. The ad special was even less than the Costco price, so it all worked out.
Got the following quote from a Dallas dealer, and looking for input. I have been getting mostly "at MSRP" quotes from all over the state lately, and one finally came in under ($1,700 under or so). Anyhow, this is the deal:
2008 335i
Black Sapphire Metallic
Black Dakota Leather
Dark Burl Walnut Wood trim
Premium Package
Sport Package
Paddle Shifters
Steptronic Automatic
Comfort Access System
Heated Front Seats
Navigation
iPod/USB
Park Distance Control
MSRP: $49, 625
Invoice: $45, 665
Price offered: $47,925
3.9% Financing on Purchase
.00255 Money Factor on lease
58% residual for 12,000 miles per year
56% residual for 15,000 miles per year
Any thoughts about this? Looks decent at first blush, but outside eyes are appreciated. Also, they let me know that the MSRP was going to $50,400 as of June 1 as a result of the price increases. Thanks in advance.
Offer: $42,000
Took the plunge to the BMW pool.

Illinois varies from 6%-8%, depending on where you live...
Though, you might check into personal property taxes, as well....

$37,700 before all fees. I think its a good deal but wanted feedback from out there. I'm in Socal (OC).
I've been driving a 540 and a 545 for the last 6 years and am definitely getting used to a 3. Seems to be much nimbler especially given the twin turbo. However, ride quality is definitely "sportier". I somehow now miss the bells and whistles on the 5 that I never cared about before:(.
looking to buy a 328 convertible
Thanks
There is a $1210 Automatic Transmission incentive until June 30, so they were willing to deal. Plus BMW is down 16% this year, especially 3 series.
Leased at invoice exactly. 3yrs, 12K, Total Cap Cost $46065. MSRP $49870, residual was 58%, so $28924. Free Mats. Monthly Payments $626.10 plus tax. Drive off was higher than I prefer, but no cap reduction. 1st month, security deposit, DMV, Acq fee totaled to: $2705.31. I am not sure if that is normal. What do you think?
I was going to do a fax attack approach like Fighting Chance recommended, but I had very specific options. I ended up emailing 3 dealers in San Diego. Northcounty BMW offered $350 above invoice, but wrong color combo. They also refused to give me MF and Residual for some reason. Disappointed with them to be honest. Got the round around for awhile, then he stopped replying to me. Encinitas BMW did not respond.
Brecht BMW Internet sales in Escondido, CA was a breeze. I emailed my exact specs with invoice/MSRP pricing listed and told him that I was offered $350 above invoice elsewhere. Next Morning, he sent back $0 over invoice proposal and I picked up 6 hrs later after work. They did write up some suspicious offer once I arrived that had monthly $50 above email, but that was quickly fixed because I knew the lease parameters very well. They apologized and threw in the Free Mats to shut me up I think. I am trying to figure out what game that was, maybe they toyed with the MF a bit. But after getting screwed before, now I am ready with the lease math and do extensive homework. I actually was able to lower my other lease, BTW, at www.lowermylease.com. ReFinanced and got $100 less per month, but that is another story altogether
I am thrilled so far. My wife cried because she has to give up her 01 M3, but this car comes close with much better interior and gadgets. BMW assist, seat and bluetooth are surprisingly awesome. I had to take them to get the color combo I wanted.
Regards,
OW
