I've seen several posts about a rebate, discount ,factory incentive, when purchasing the 335is with the DCT transmission.
Does any one have a reference to show the CA to try and get this option discounted?

[egtlover74]

Just let him know that you know there is a discount on DCT. That's what I did to get my discount.

I think when you build it online on the BMW site it show it as a free option.

[dunit]

The on line build your car shows it as a $1575 option.

Hmmm... I must have been building something else.

I just ordered a 335is with DCT. Anyone have information on this theoretical discount?

335is w/ DCT is my dream car. If there is a discount it will drive me nuts (because I have to keep telling myself that my current E90 is the smart car to keep).

I am interested as well as my car should be here in about two weeks. I emailed my CA to see if he can help and expect to hear from him tomorrow.

i received my 335is yesterday. the DCT is by far the best part of the entire car! i had the e92 335i previously and i was afraid it was going to feel like the same car....and i'm so glad i was wrong!

i dont get how the dct has a park option if it is a double clutch gearbox. the m3 dct doesnt have a park option.

Hey! I just ordered a 335is tonight. I had seen rumors of the discount on the forums here so I asked my CA point blank about it and she looked it up and confirmed it. They are also offering a 1300ish discount on straight 335i's that opt for the Steptronic. They're rebating the cost of the DCT on the 335is which is 1435. I have a feeling a lot of dealers wont bring that up unless you ask them about it. After all, it's cash in their pockets if you don't inquire about it.
I demanded the rebate and got it out of them. YMMV

Good luck!

The reason is probably that the manual 335i cars are very hard to re-sell so they make sure you don't screw their resale value by ordering a manual

What do you guys think of this. I ordered a 335is 6 weeks ago with dct and paid for it. My car is supposed to be here in 2 weeks so do I have a chance to take advantage of this. I called my dealer but my ca is off til Saturday. If they tell me no should I try to get my deposit back and start over. Any advice.

Bruno, check to make sure if you start over that incentive still stands (it ends by June 30th); it seems it does casue a co-worker just order a 335i with auto-trans incentive built into the price and his car won't arrives until July 14th. Not to scare you or anyhting just make sure with your CA.

[AJTrudat]

Bruno, it wouldn't hurt to ask them. The worst they can do is say no. You might luck out and they'll give it to you.

I custom built mine last night for a late July delivery and they gave me the rebate. So, if your friend has one coming in mid-July, I would think he'd get it as well. (Providing they negotiated it at sale.)

It seems there's a fair amount of wiggle room on the 335is cause they knocked 5k off the MSRP and THEN gave me the DCT discount on top of that. YMMV though. I live in an area where sales probably aren't nearly as strong as some of the larger US metro areas.

Thanks everyone! I ordered my 335is a few weeks ago. So after reading this thread today, I emailed my CA and he says the rebate is mine. You guys just saved me $1,495.

[Brunotheboxer]

Thanks guys I'll let you know how it goes.

Very nice.

[dkballer22]

Awesome, just got a hold of my CA and told him about the $1435 and he said I can have the refund, this just made my day!!!! Thanks again guys!

[Brunotheboxer]

Basically if they dont let me take advantage of this offer I'm walking away and starting over. The $1400 is significant enough in that I wont mind waiting another 6 to 8 weeks.
