335xi pre-order?

scb · 11-18-2006, 05:26 PM

so a local dealer is taking pre-orders for the 335xi. he says all they need is a $500 deposit

considering there isn't even an msrp for this car, how the hell does that work? you reserve a car with no price? that kind of leaves zero room for negotiating, right?

couldn't the dealer simply give the car to someone else who was willing to pay more?

I ordered my 330xi the same way for ED. I ordered in May05 for a car didn't have an official price until July05.

Just ask your dealer if the deposit is fully refundable. You should get an agreed upon $$$$ over invoice price when you put the deposit down. Get the agreed upon price in writing on the dealership's letterhead. Also put the deposit on a credit in case, the dealer tries to renege on the deal.

your looking at a price around 40,600

It will price out almost the same as the 328 does now,with and without X drive.A few of the packages could change slightly,but the options should be the same.You can write up a buyers order saying XXXX off MSRP or over invoice and any deposit should be fully refundable for any reason. The X Drive cars go into production in March, '07

he offered me 1500 over invoice...i think i'll try to get it down a bit more

Base 335i $38,700 + $1,900 for X = $40,600

335i Metalic Paint
Packages/Options:
Sport Package $1,600 /$1200 for X = $400
STEPTRONIC Automatic Transmission $1,275
Paddle Shifters $100
Cold Weather Package $1,000 /$600 for X = $400
Park Distance Control (rear) $350

Accessories:
None Selected
MSRP $38,700
Options and accessories $4,800 /$4,000
Destination charge $695
Total price as built* $44,195 /$43,395 + $1,900 for X = $45,295

I can't wait for it to be released. Dad will prolly end up w/ a 335xi coupe. Any idea when that is coming out? I think I heard something about Sept/Fall 07?

Thanks Irv. You might remember me. An Indian man in his 40's and his teenage son bought a Black 325xi from the guy who sits across from you on July 3rd. That son was me. We might be doing Euro Delivery next year so I will call you up if we do it.

bluebug · 12-15-2006, 01:54 PM

march production with release after 4/15? does that mean if you wanted to do a ED, you would have to wait until April or could you go to Munich in March and have it re-delivered in April?
