BMW stealers deals on 3 series ?

[Gregarious]

Hi folks
Do you think official stealers will be offering substantial discounts on the existing 3 series leading up to the new model as i am thinking of ordering a 330d sport in the next few months.

I think nearer the time they will offer some discounts, but dont expect thousands and thousands off

They basically have a profit mark up, around 8% i think

I just bought a 2004 330i ZHP for about $500 under invoice. It has a lot to do with when they order next years models. The dealer I bought from ordered their 2005 BMWs in July or August so they were very anxious to get rid of my car so they can say they sold more volume in 2004. I think August is the real sweet spot (at least in IL)...at the end of the month especially (last weekend of the month).
