Hi. I'm new to the Forum and BMWs, but hopefully both will be a long relationship. I'm looking to order a 2005 330xi. I've looked everywhere in my area for a car that would fit my needs and my wife's needs, but something is always not quite what we want. So it seems that I'm at the crossroads of ordering one.
My question concerns price. I'm a veteran haggler on cars. When we purchased a new suburban a year ago, I got it for $500 less than invoice. However, I've never bought a BMW before and I have definitely not ordered a car before.
After talking with a couple of dealers, they act like getting $1000 off of the MSRP is good. Of course, I'm thinking closer to the invoice price. What are your experiences with new BMW prices. What should I expect to pay? And I do understand that I will have to pay more to get what I want. By the way, MSRP is roughly $47,500 and invoice is roughly $42,000 on this 330xi.
Thanks,
Andrew
