    and it is not a DEMO car?
  • nymininymini Member Posts: 10
    Nope, brand new with 6 miles only
  • portmanportman Member Posts: 5
    I am looking at two 2010 528ix's - both were dealer service loaners. Both about 24K miles, in service dates of Aug 09 and Dec 09 respectively. One is platinum gray / gray interior, the other jet black/black. Both very clean. Both offered at 38,900, neither is certified. I am thinking of having the one I choose certified to get the extra warranty and inspection. Likely I will get that included in the price. Is this a good price? Any comments on reliability / service? I have an older A6 now (99) that has been pretty good, but man when something does break it is expensive!

    Also a couple of questions for those in the know, how does the BMW loyalty program work? I currently drive a 2003 530i, does this have to do with where I originally purchased the vehicle?

    It feels like a good deal, but I'm looking towards the buying wisdom of this forum for advice!

    Thanks!

    All -

    Great forum that has helped me negotiate a good price on the car. I had a question regarding the Loyalty credit. I have what I believe is a pretty good price for a 2011 535i - dealership is in the Washington DC Metro area. However, I'm being told that I cannot get the $1000 loyalty credit because I am getting 3.9% financing via BMW Financial Services as that rate is supposedly a loyalty APR. From reading the incentives/rebates on this site, it appears that the financing at 3.9% isn't a loyalty APR, but just an incentive APR. Can someone clarify? Appreciate the help/advice!!

    Just had 550i delivered last week and got reasonable deal with residual support from BMW for existing 2011 inventory.

    2011 550i
    Graphite/Oyster
    M package
    Prem 2
    Sport Auto
    BMW Apps

    $71125 Sticker, neg. sale price $66744
    12 K miles, 36 mos. residual .61 and money factor .00155 with loyalty
    $2173 total drive off and payment $801/mo. before CA sales tax

    Love this car so far. Turned in 08 M3 conv. and this car might be just as fast and handles great with the Sport + setting, then great comfort and luxury in normal mode. This model 550i is nearly the same size as my old 2006 750i but much better drive.

    Drove the 535i and really liked it too and great engine, but with the lease residual support the 550i cost difference was minimal so got the power I really wanted.

    I agree that the Acura MXD forum has a lot more chatter and plenty of useful feedback. I bought a MDX last year as well and the forum was very helpful.

    I just purchased a 2011 528i a few days ago. Back with Black interior. This is what I got:

    MSRP: 48200
    Paid: 42,600 + TTL

    The price paid includes a $1000 loyalty discount and $1700 navigation credit. I know that I could have had the dealer shave off another $300-$500 on the final price, but opted to buy at the listed price to avoid the repeated back and forth. This car is pretty basic with the only options being NAVIGATION and USB(iphone connectivity), which are the only features which I really care about. A lot of features like wood trim, moonroof, etc come standard so this is exactly what I wanted.

    The dealer informed me that he could give me $7000 off of sticker price if I choose to buy a 535i, since they have a lot more 535i's in stock. The 535xi has an extra $1500 credit, in addition to the loyalty and navigation credits.

    ...I have landed on a 2008 535i. I was burnt by a couple of BMW dealers on CPO's which they sold without the CPO warranty even after advertising them as CPO's. I thought this was deceptive advertising, but through this forum I found out that this happens. Anyway, I ended up buying from an independent dealer.

    Alpine White on Light Beige Dakota w/ Dark Poplar

    Premium
    Sports
    Navigation
    Cold Weather
    Comfort Access
    Sat Radio
    Ipod & USB

    The car was checked by the local BMW dealer and a speaker, some kind og leg and the wiper blades were changed. Warranty ends on September 2012.

    I need some advice on Extended warranty. Please suggest where to buy and how much they usually cost.

    THANK YOU ALL for everything that you've contributed to me through this forum. ;)

    can you you let us know when you got the car from? i am interested in getting one. Thank you,
    /K
  • jayg6jayg6 Member Posts: 15
    Sorry for the delay in response. For some reason I did not get notified on your query.

    I bought the car from Peter Pan BMW in San Mateo(Bay Area). They had a car identical to what I purchased. However, it no longer shows up in the inventory. You may want to checked if other dealerships have something similar.
  • vhl71vhl71 Member Posts: 9
    Thinking of getting a demo 2011 535i x drive with 13k on it. Dealers demo/courtesy car.
    The warranty started 6 months ago. With exec pkg and other options the MSRP is Canadian 71,800

    My clac is if you take the standard 7-8% discount, it comes to around $66k

    Considering its got 13K on odometer, I should get another 5-6k off. Thinking of offering 60K

    Is this reasonable?
  • portmanportman Member Posts: 5
    Hi VHL,

    I recently bought a 2010 528ix dealer service loaner at about 11K off sticker (US$) with 23K miles, CPO included in the deal. Pretty basic car, Premium Package and Value Package (no Nav).

    I found the Edmunds used car value estimator helpful to set an expected dealer list on the deal. You may also want to find out if the dealer has depreciated the car fully yet, if applicable. If not, that may limit their willingness to discount.

    Love it so far. Definitely a sportier feel than the A6 it replaced.

    Hope this helps.
  • milner007milner007 Member Posts: 20
    Looking at a 2011 535 with 9 miles on it- PP 1 and 2 and convenience pack- and some other stuff I cant remember- space gray with beige int- sticker is 60, 175- they have bid 52,500 - - is that fair?
  • ccappaccappa Member Posts: 29
    Realistically-what could one expect to pay, vis-a-vis invoice, for a 2012 528i x-drive? Price vs. invoice then minus incentives (Nav credit, "mission to drive" credit, and any other incentives I might not be aware of). I don't qualify for BMW loyalty credit. Any input welcome.

    Thank you.
  • tenet1tenet1 Member Posts: 354
    Folks - What kind of discounts are you all getting for 2012 528i. I am looking at one stickered at $54k and wondering what realistic discounts would be. I know there is a nav credit, but are there any other deals being offered? Thanks
  • knarangknarang Member Posts: 4
    I am hearing there are new factory to dealer incentives in December. Anyone know details?
  • lisambalisamba Member Posts: 5
    Alpine white exterior
    Cinnamon brown dakota leather interior
    Cold weather package
    Premium package
    Premium sound package
    Sport package
    Technology package
    Sport automatic transmission
    Soft-close automatic doors (for $600, these doors must be super special!)
    BMW apps
    Total MSRP = $64,325 (incl. $875 destination charge)

    MY LEASE = $2,500 total drive-off; $632/month incl. 8.75% sales tax for 36 months and 12,000 miles/year

    How'd I do?
  • rayceeraycee Member Posts: 10
    That sounds like an incredibly good deal for a 2012 535i considering their national advertised lease is no where close to this.
    Can you tell me your lease term period and also which dealer and city?
    Thanks for sharing.
  • yookerr2yookerr2 Member Posts: 1
    edited December 2011
    Could you provide us a little more info as to how you obtained that low lease rate? Im working on a 535i at or around your MSRP figure.

    Could you provide what incentives/rebates were to drive down the cap cost? Basically in your lease paperwork what did they sell you the car for after all the factory and dealer gives?

    Way too good of a deal.
  • lisambalisamba Member Posts: 5
    Thanks! I wasn't sure it was that great of a price. I leased the car for 36 months from the BMW dealer in Valencia, CA.
  • lisambalisamba Member Posts: 5
    The "final" price was $55,239.87. That included the $1,000 owner loyalty rebate and the $1,700 navigation credit. We also received significant reductions to the money factor related to the timing of the lease and the fact that we turned in another BMW; the lease on that car was scheduled to end on 12/27.

    I began the process by soliciting quotes via the Edmunds site. Hope that helps. Good luck!!!

    Folks - I am looking at a 2012 BMW 528i with Tech, Premium, Comfort Access, Sat radio and heated seats. MSRP $54k, getting $46.5k

    Is this a fair deal?

    Thanks

    2011 535i with 20K miles factory warranty and Full Maintenance Program to 8/2/2014 or to 50,000 miles, asking $41K. Dealer won't go down in the price, any thoughts?

    - Convenience package
    - Cold Weather
    - Premium Packages
    - Navigation

    Your feedback is much appreciated.
  • tenet1tenet1 Member Posts: 354
    That seems like a good price for a 535. I was negotiating on a 528 with 11k miles and the best i got was $42k and that was an agressive deal. Then i learned that the back seat had a burn in the leather that was repaired, so I backed out. if the car is in good condition, then I think its good price
  • murali12murali12 Member Posts: 4
    Hi - Can you let me know which dealership is offering this deal and what state?
  • geocity20geocity20 Member Posts: 13
    Sounds good to me. I was offered 48.9K for almost the same car but w/o comfort access and premium. Although it had the dakota leather seats. My MSRP was 55K. Where is your dealer?

    I am getting ready to pull the trigger on purchasing a 2012 BMW 535 xDrive and I am having difficulty finding rebates and incentives. I will be purchasing the car...not leasing.

    Any info is greatly appreciated, as I hope to seal the deal before 2012!

    Thanks!
  • rogerm888rogerm888 Member Posts: 2
    I think it is similar to the deal I got. However no nav is a no go for me
  • tenet1tenet1 Member Posts: 354
    murali - the dealer is in MD, and I think I got a very good deal because of the race to the finish competition with Mercedes. The deal really only came up the last week of the year, and I had to close by the 31st to log the sale in 2011. I was out of town and had to do the whole deal over the phone/fax. Got the car yesterday, really happy with my choice
  • rodb2rodb2 Member Posts: 3
    Hi, i need to decide and pul lthe trigger:
    Premium1, 2
    Sport Package
    BMW Aps
    Heated Seats
    Sport Transmission

    Is this good deal? 53K before taxes/license.
  • phylpphylp Member Posts: 49
    rodb2:

    The options you state, at the price you quote, sound great to me. The Premium packages, plus Sport approaches "M" re: the drive and feel. This is the exact kind of deal I would want myself, but I will keep on driving my '08 535i because I am just so satisfied with the car.

    I am a big believer in buying cars at the end of the month. If you let the deal lay until then, you might come out better -- in my experience.

    Congrats on getting to where you are on an awesome ride.

  • rodb2rodb2 Member Posts: 3
    phylp, thanks for the answer. turns out that the dealer was goingto bring this car in from another dealership. The other dealership ended up seeling it.
    So, i missed the deal, but i will stay in the lookout as that is really what i am looking for.
