Has anyone used the European Deilver program? I want to try it - new car and vaction at the same time - but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Althoguth, I would love to drive my new 4.4 v8 X5 w/ sport on the autobaun.
Thanks

I've had my X5 for almost a year with no problems whatsoever, this one's a keeper.
I live in US and am currently looking into an X5 & would love a good deal!
Also, please advice again - what are the Internet agents for sales who can give lower rate?
Hope someone out there responds to my journalist friend on the following mission:
Anyone out there shopping for a BMW? I'm a journalist with a national
publication looking for people who have owned or are seeking to buy a
BMW. I'm also looking for long-time BMW owners with thoughts about the
styling of the new 7-series. If you don't mind being quoted, please send
an email with your telephone number to carguy147@hotmail.com and I will
call and interview you. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks from both of us,

I am interested in leasing a 03 X5 3.0.
My local dealer (in NY) told me that only the sales price is negotiable. Once the sales price is determined, the leasing payment will be calculated based on it. Is this true ?
Are money factor and residual value negotiable? The quote I got is money factor 0.0026, residual value 60% for 36 month term, 15K. Does this sound right to you ?
Thank you for your help.
For some real help, track down Car_man & KC over in the Finance, Warranty & Insurance Board (especially the Lease Questions - Ask Here discussion).

Unless the dealer is marking up the finance rate it won't be negotiable, and the residual is a fixed number based on MSRP.
I went to Finance, Warranty & Insurance Board but couldn't find any information.
Do you know if BMW offers any promotion program for leasing, and usually when it will be.
Thank you.
I'm in Texas and am amazed that 01's with 30k are going for $40,000.
Rory= where did you get your car for under invoice?
Thanks,

goes to my wife's preset position instead of mine.
This only happens when I use the key fob to unlock the doors. Does anyone know the cure for this problem?
Thanks.
Anybody out there got a better deal?
1. Tax and tags... are taxes a given? I'm an idiot living in DE where there are no sales tax, but looking to purchase the X5 in PA... perhaps sales tax on vehicles are separate from normal sales tax?
2. As I understand it, BMW doesn't have a holdback. Given that I don't have the invoice pricing info for a 2003 X5,I have to go by the invoice costing on a 2002... which, if all I ask for is a moonroof and xenon headlights, comes to $47210 with destination... if the TMV is $51496, what does everyone think I should shoot for in negotiations on a 2003 with the same options? My latest offer from a dealer is $50845... and I THINK he's modifying an order.
Sorry for the length. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Any replies to the pricing part of my previous entry?
What makes you think I was expecting anything? I posted something that was relevent to the forum. Just maybe someone out there could have purchased a similar or exact setup, couldn't there be, huh?? Just maybe someone could have just came back from a dealership, saw my post, and decided to share his/her packages/pricing with me.
A forum is about sharing similar experiences. Obviously you have nothing to share.
Also, my salesperson said if I order NAV it comes only with a cassette and that a C/D player would have to be installed by the dealer.
Your thought on the NAV option is appreciated, as I have a few days to alter my order.

I think the '03s come with an in-dash CD even with Nav but my CD changer was a dealer installed option. IMO you're gonna want the changer regardless. I found out (too late) that I could buy it online for less than half what the stealer wanted and install it myself in 10 minutes. If you search online for a (hint) "pacific" coast (hint) "BMW" dealer you can get a good price.
MSRP is 49,152. What is a good price?
Any deals on '02 models in NH, MA?
Thanks in advance.
Best I can do is 1500 above invoice. One dealer even had 7 2002 X5's and wouldn't deal even without a trade-in, and I even was going through BMW Financial services.
I think some people on this board are confusing invoice price with MSRP Retail. There is NO BMW dealer that will sell you a BMW at Invoice. I even looked at some low mileage Demo's and they were not even at invoice.
BMW's philosophy is that if I don't buy it at that price, the person walking in the door after me will, so take it or leave it.
My challenge is this: I am willing to drive no more than 500 miles from Central Florida for a BMW 3.0 X5 under invoice. If anyone bought their bmw under invoice (a true number without any trade involved) please leave me and the members of this board a name and phone number to contact because it is definitely worth the trip for me. I hate to give in to these arrogant BMW salemen here in FLA.
We discourage listing of real names, phone numbers etc. on open boards for obvious reasons.

Let's not! It looks too much like a solicitation which isn't permitted on the TH boards.

Is it really worth it for you to drive that far to get a good deal on a car? Are you stretching your budgetary constraints? Maybe a CPO X5 would be more to your liking.
You do realize that whenever the car needs to be serviced, your local dealer may not provide you with a loaner car or a preferential service appointment. Have you checked into your local dealer's policy on cars not purchased at that particular dealership?
You also stated in your own post that there is NO BMW dealer that will sell you a car at invoice. So why are you looking to buy a car from a BMW dealer BELOW invoice?
$1500+ Invoice is considered a good deal on a BMW. $1000+ Invoice on a BMW is considered a great deal. I have read that someone one this board got an X5 for $1200 under invoice (but that's RARE). I've also read that Central FL is a bad place to buy luxury cars. Maybe try calling some dealerships in the NY/NJ/CT area. If you're willing to drive up to 500 miles for a good deal, why not spend a few hundred bucks on a plane ticket and drive your new X5 back to FL.
Good luck with your search.

NYC- The X5 is hardly an SUV, it's not recomended for off road use - like anyone with an SUV actually goes off road. An X5 happens to be perfect for Florida. I looked at a 530 when I settled on the X because of it's all wheel drive plus I preferred the X's layout over the 530. I used to live in the snow belt (Colorado) and drove a Range Rover back then - which actually went off road on a fairly regular basis. A Rangie in Florida would be a bit of a waste - although that new 03 Range Rover is all the rage here, I've seen several, along with tons of Escalades and 03 Navigators.
Luxury car dealers in the Orlando area have an MSRP take it or leave it attitude - you really have to negotiate to get a deal - I got Fields down a couple grand on my X - I wouldn't even attempt invoice.
thanks for all of the feedback to my last question. Looks like the best anyone in FL can do is 1500 above invoice. So I know must ask, has anyone bought a dealer demo with less than 5k miles and for what price in respect to invoice for the same vehicle new.
I'm thinking if I can get 2500 off of invoice for a demo, that would be a great price. Any thoughts???
