    I had the same dilema for about 10 minutes, but decided to go with it (although it's against my will) mainly due to the Run-Flat tire syndrome - any puncture and the tire needs to be REPLACED. The other factor was that my wife managed to run over something once before in her X3 that took out 2 tires and put a HOLE in the rim size of a fist! But like with anything it's simply INSURANCE once you have it, most likely you won't need it, however, to me (especially since my wife drives it) it's the peace-of-mind that I'm paying for ...which in fact was about $20/month extra on my loan. Good luck.

    If you damage a tire and rim, you're going to pay either way. OK, so you get a flat and your runflat has to be replaced. Well, with 25,000 miles on the car say, the tire on the other side will have to either be replaced or the new tire will have to be shaven down.

    I declined the tire insurance. About 2500 miles before we turned in my wife's 2007 X3, she swerved to avoid something, hit a curb in the center of the road and blew out both tires on the left side and bent a rim. OK, so the tire insurance would have covered that, but the other 2 tires were dry rotting and needed to be replaced as well as a magical BMW 4 wheel drive alignment. So I paid either way. $1500 is too much money.

    Was wondering if this was a good deal in the Houston area or should I shop around more...
    2011 X5 3.5SA + M package, technology, convenience, comfort access, hifi, heated front seats.
    MSRP $68925
    Invoice $63345
    Dealer was offering $1000 above invoice but said there was extra $600 for MACO/Training and will charge me $165 for the floor mats. Do they usually not include floor mats?

    Thanks

    Cannot speak to Houston area specific deal but mats and MACO are nearly always extra.

    You might tell them to stuff their Mats and get aftermarket or look at the BMW optional mats and get the style you prefer.

    That sounds like a really good deal. I was out today to shop around and got real offensive offer! It was an x5 diesel 2011, mrsp 65K, offered me a lease for $1001.00 with 2000$ down / out of pocket. It was however with 18k miles/year for 36 month.
    I have an x3 today that cost me 585$ / month under same terms. Anyone out there who has had a good deal on an x5 diesel lease????

  • ftl2kyleftl2kyle Member Posts: 2
    This sounds a good deal. Based on what were previously posted here, perhaps you can still do slightly better, but it is a lot better than what I have got so far. Where is the dealer located?
  • townesuckstownesucks Member Posts: 1
    I almost made a deal with Towne back to June. We finalized the price by phone and email. but when I got there to sign the deal, they said they can't make it. I would strongly not recommend buying from there.
  • x5searcherx5searcher Member Posts: 8
    Do you have any other dealer to recommend? Have you tried one in Rochester or Erie, PA?
  • aeggroupaeggroup Member Posts: 133
    Hello.
    I'm in the process of buying 2011 BMW X5 xDrive35d. Does anybody can tell me how Eco credit applied vs. sales tax ? I mean - let's say selling price is $60K minus $4,500 Eco. Sales tax calculated from $60K or from final $60K minus $4,500 price ???

    Thanks in advance. .
  • bmwgal3bmwgal3 Member Posts: 15
    Are the roof rails noisy or not? Can I add them on easily later if I decide I really need them?
  • aeggroupaeggroup Member Posts: 133
    I don't know if you can add them later, but this option cost $100...why not to have it anyway ?
  • 00boxsters00boxsters Member Posts: 202
    Never heard anyone on any BMW board complain of noise.

    I think its an extra $100 at time of order or $1000+ later...

    Someone on the "X5 diesel reliability" discussion posted that the roof rails were noisy. My internet search only confirmed that anything attached to the roof rails makes the wind noise...so I was wondering what others have heard.... I agree, for $100 I'd rather get them now, added on to the lease, but not if they make a bothersome noise....

    Hello, I am women from the Atlanta area and looking for 2010, 2011 X5 35d. Spoke just with one dealership, but have no idea what "deal" I should try to get. No need a heated seat (hot in Atlanta:-).
    I have heard about dealers selling cars over internet and it should be much better deal? Any advice, please... :shades:
    Thank you!

    Roof rails by themselves do not cause any extra wind noise (certainly less than mirrors do), it's those cross-bars that you need to attach to carry anything on top may cause a little noise at high speeds.
    Actually I never noticed that you could order an X5 w/o rails.
  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 235,175
    I think it's the crossbars that he is considering for $100...

    The rails are useless without them (pretty much).. For $100, I'd get the cross bars and just take them off if they bothered me...

    Eco credit is deducted prior to calculating the tax. In your example, you pay tax on $55,500.
  • cabluecablue Member Posts: 48
    I do not notice any noise from my roof rails (w/o cross bars.) Also, just an fyi, I got my diesel 10 mos. ago for 1,000 over invoice, then the $4500 eco credit, so $3500 below invoice in CA.

    Dark Bamboo wood trim
    Active ventilated seat package
    Premium Package
    Rear Climate Package
    Technology Package
    3rd row seat

    Sale price - 55510 (including 4500 eco credit, MACO/advertising and floor mats).. Don't know if it was the best deal but i waited 6 weeks after placing order and I asked for a better deal than the Costco price agreed to at time of order placement and it went very smooth with further reduction of $750 and no attempts to sneak things in.. Got 2.84% from BofA for 60 months..

    $61,156 OTD + finance charge.. I am pretty happy..
  • zuluzuzuluzu Member Posts: 3
    Forgot to mention 'roof rails'. They were also included in the price..
  • 35dor35premium35dor35premium Member Posts: 2
    I can use help in understanding why would someone go with diesel over Premium 3.5, when diesel is 5G higher and comes with 6 speed.
    RIMS are another reason I cant make my mind. I really would like to have 19" 335 style rims.

    Thanks in Advance!

    After much internal debate with my wife and many a discussion with BMW dealerships nationwide, I bought a 2008 BMW X5 3.0si CPO with every option included. Very happy with the decision. Looked hard and long at the 2011 X5 diesels, but finally decided that a 2 year locally serviced car with CPO can provide just as much joy and save nearly $20,000. Some of you are probably struggling with the same decision...there are plenty of low-mileage lease returns in the market. The car I ended up buying was owned by a local doctor, serviced at the same dealership since day one, and had the right color combination and desired options (premium, convenience, technology, rear climate, 3rd row of seats, roof rails, cold weather pkg, and comfortaccess). Car is under warranty until June 2012 and then under CPO through June 2014. A little of bit of luck always helps...but once we decided to go pre-owned, it is quite amazing how many lease returns one can find.

    Happy searching AND Buying everyone !!

    Congratulations on getting your X5. I got my 2003 Certified pre-owned 325i back in 2005. The free maintenance was good till 2007. I extended it for two more years till 2009. You won't get all the benefits for the extension. You will have to pay a minimum amount whenever your car is in the dealership for maintenance although you don't have to pay anything that has to do with warranty. Also, not everything is covered in that maintenance. BMW said they won't cover the rear shock mounts on my car. I found a local mechanic who only does BMW's and I can say it is little expensive to maintain. I had to pay around $1K last time. Be prepared to shell out around $500 every year for maintenance on an average apart from wear and tear. Again that was for a 325i. I am not sure how it is for an X5.

    Anyway good luck and enjoy your ride.

    Can you share the dealer name - am looking to buy the 35D.
  • sjthomassjthomas Member Posts: 61
    I see many people ordering the third row seating. Is it worth it? I know no adults cannot sit there nor even infants/toddlers with car seats. I think the only people who can sit is kids who use booster seats.

    This was a dealbreaker for me.

    Any suggestions if we can really place a car seat in there?
  • nyccarguynyccarguy Member Posts: 16,373
    Congrats on your new used X5. Once you found the vehicle you were looking for, how willing was the dealer to negotiate? What was the discount off the CPO asking price?

    I live in Chicago, been looking at X5d for couple of weeks.

    The only one price I got is $500 above dealer invoice(substract the eco credit). Does anyone know what dealer invoice means - ie. Edmunds' invoice + MACO?

    I don't really want to spend too much time over couple of hundreds, what is the realistic BEST price I can expect?
  • zuluzuzuluzu Member Posts: 3
    Not sure. Wasn't a real criteria at this time but just in case we needed to squeeze more than 5 sometime. Mostly we are keeping the 3rd seat fold flat. I wouldn't suggest this for people who want to use the 3rd row on an everyday basis..

    With current incentives and tax credits the diesel is quite a bit less expensive than the gas model. ($4500 bmw eco credit and $1800 federal income tax credit) when similarly equipped.

    Also the turbo engines on the gas inline 6's (also on 3 series) have had multiple high pressure fuel pump failures and the word I got was that while the engine may have changed from twin turbo to twin scroll single turbo, those pumps may not have been redesigned. Some owners are reporting multiple strandings, so one reason to go diesel might be to hopefully avoid any chance of that until it's clear the issue has been fixed. Then again, I've read that some diesels have burned up! So who knows?

    Some feel diesels have more longevity as well, though I doubt many BMW buyers keep them long enough to wear out an engine.

    The turbo 6 gas is likely more refined and is definitely a little quicker. But the way I configured one the diesel was a few thousand cheaper now. By January that won't be the case, as the $1800 credit is definitely gone and the bmw eco credit may be gone as well, as it's renewed only month-month.

    Wish I was in your part of the country, guess on the left coast, more env. conscious people...drives the price higher or so the dealers say.

    Got 'car fever' in trading out of old car and fell in love for X5 35d, so my negotiating skills evaporated. It is a fully loaded X5 35d, but I paid $7,500 down (incl negative trade in on old lease + all fees, taxes, etc) and then pay $915 a month. I'm 6 months in and my payoff is $57,000. Seems a lot of money, but if I see the lease out I'll pay $32,940 in monthly payments + $7500 fees and won't even own the car. Any advice on next steps? Should I bite th bullet and just buy the thing or suck up another 30 months of $915 and then gicve the car back?

    Needless to say, won't be rush purchasing my next car. However I LOVE this car, the X5 35d drives and looks amazing - so not all bad :)
  • nyccarguynyccarguy Member Posts: 16,373
    a very unfortunate situation. However if you do have leasors remorse, there are 2 sites:

    leasetrader.com & swapalease.com

    Maybe you can get someone else to takeover your lease.

    Good Luck!

    a) You can't really count the negative equity from your old car as part of the lease cost of this one... One really has nothing to do with the other..

    b) If you bought the car for $6X,XXX, and financed it for 60 months, you'd have to pay $43K (or so) over the first three years... Yes, you would own the vehicle, but would still owe $25K-$30K on the vehicle, and have two more years of $1200+ payments..

    Strip out the negative equity and your payment is probably right around $1000/mo... Yes, that's not cheap... but, anything you do now won't save you any money.

    The way to stay out of a negative equity situation is to stay in the car you have, until the lease or loan is paid off.. You can't trade your way to a better situation...

    thanks for the advice guys. Only other option I can think of is to buy it cash, but my payoff is $57K after already paying $13K into it (old debt + on road plus 6 mths payments). Worth taking the hit now or paying another 30 months of $915?
  • bayman48bayman48 Member Posts: 27
    Made my purchase last week, had to special order since there is low stock in nor cal and the way I wanted it, or even close to it, made it practically impossible to find. Anyway, got it for a okay price, at least i think, msrp was 61375 and got it for 530xx.
  • mchalmersmchalmers Member Posts: 30
    Hello,

    Does anyone know if its possible to get a "base" X5 Diesel? I want to buy the car but I find they all come with the packages. For example, can you buy this car for 45K?

    Thank you,

    Matthew
