Car Forum / BMW Cars / April 2004BMW 525i
Hello, My wife and I are planning on buying a new 525i, we are in Southern California. The " suggested retail price " is 48K. Can anyone give me an idea on how good I deal I can get ? How low they would be willing to go ? Thanks Carmine $1200 to $1800. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Carmine >> Hello, >> >> My wife and I are planning on buying a new 525i, we are in Southern >> California.

Wow, put me down for three! :-)  SignatureMartin > >> Hello, > >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Wow, put me down for three! :-) I'm pretty sure the poster meant $1200 to $1800 below msrp. -Fred W > >> Hello, > >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Wow, put me down for three! :-) Hi, Maybe I'm missing something but I just got a quote on a 2004 330i with auto transmission, Premium Package and 522 Xenon lights for $39950.00. Msrp was $41245.00. The 525 your looking at must be loaded. Ron Summerville, SC I goofed sorry. I mis-took the 525 for a 325 sorry about that. As you can see the guy I'm dealing with didn't come off much. I'm still looking. > > >> Hello, > > >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Ron > Summerville, SC I recently bought a 2005 BMW 545i in Houston.....only 6 speed I could find. Discount vs MSRP was "only" $1,500 but now it seems like a good deal. > >> Hello, > >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Wow, put me down for three! :-) > I recently bought a 2005 BMW 545i in Houston.....only 6 speed I could find. Good for you! That would be how I would get one. The six speed will make this car valuable (especially to enthusiasists) if/when you decide to sell it. > Discount vs MSRP was "only" $1,500 but now it seems like a good deal. Seems OK to me on a hot new model that you had to search for. Consider this... If another thousand (plus or minus) made a big difference to you, would you really have bought this car? I think not. If it had you would have bought a nice little Honda or something... -Fred W - You are correct Frank..there are 5 BMW dealers in Houston and this was the only 545i 6-speed I could find on any of the the lots. I would have happily paid MSRP. I think I got a discount only because I was a repeat customer for this sparticular salesperson who knows that I have been a good source of referrals. But who knows for sure? - The six speed is for me !....I "never" plan on selling this gem and at present the manual trans keeps the wife out of this car as well. - This car replaced a 1998 323 is coupe with 5 speed and sport package.....needless to say the new ride is a "bit" quicker on launch LOL John > Good for you!

Unbelievable... what is this marquee coming to? > I would have > happily paid MSRP.

Only the salesman... > - The six speed is for me !....I "never" plan on selling this gem and at > present the manual trans keeps the wife out of this car as well. An added bonus!! But it wouldn't work for my bride. She actually prefers driving our 325i 5 speed to the 540iA (as do I, except on long highway trips). Makes me wonder why I ever taught her to drive a standard those many years ago... > - This car replaced a 1998 323 is coupe with 5 speed and sport > package.....needless to say the new ride is a "bit" quicker on launch LOL I'd say so!!. I drove a '98 323iC a few weeks ago (yes, of course it was 5 speed) and passed on buying it, partly because the engine seemed a little lackluster, even compared directly to my '95 325i. I attribute it to the extra weight of the cabrio and maybe some additional smog stuff of OBDII? I ended up finding a cherry Z3 2.8L 5 speed. With the low Z3 weight and bigger 2.8L it should be loads of fun in the twisties. Have fun. -Fred W > I ended up finding a cherry Z3 2.8L 5 speed.

It is also a surprisingly good tourer - if you can forego the 540's luggage space! Enjoy! Tom |
