Dealer says ED pricing set in stone by BMW
Hi,
I just got off the phone with my CA. I told him I was interested in European Delivery. He told me it's a set price by BMW. So I asked him what the price is and first he said $33110 and then took it back, "oops thats not the right number" and said it's $35990 + $695 dest. What do you guys think? Should I try and talk him down or try a different dealer? |

Many dealers have a CA that specializes in ED, so you may want to work with that person instead. Especially since you will be visiting the dealer a couple of times during the process and it is generally best to work with the person who is doing the communication with BMW. |

My CA tried that with me when I first talked to him but I let him know that I knew that the ED cars didn't come out of their allocation and that I would like to price the car from invoice. (I had the invoice pricing sheet with me) After he found out I was well informed on the ED process the negotiation went much better.

ok, called a second dealer. he offered me $33,110 no options. I was like wow, so if I come in there today, that's the price you'll give me. He said yes, 2 mins later he's like uh, thats a mistake the price is $35,990. Then he said we can meet in the middle.

As one poster already pointed out, it helps if you mention that you have the ED Invoice prices in hand. If you need invoice prices for options, use the 2006 E90 pricing document for now since, as Rich said, the 2007 sheet is MIA. Most of them are the same price this year, except for premium package and Nav, which went up slightly. |

I'd keep walking or e-mailing until you find a legit dealer that knows what an ED deal means.

if I were you, I would offer him invoice price + $1000.
Usually, on ED cars, you negotiate from the invoice price and up. And there are a lot of dealers, even out of state, that will give you $1000 over invoice |

always shop around and then if you have two dealers that are close in price,find out who has the most experience, along with being at that Dealership for a while,and also the CA that you're most comfortable dealing with, you generally know right away,if they are going to be the one

ED dealing
I had to work really hard to get $750 off MSRP on an e92 for October.
If it would have been an e90, they would typically do $1500 off MSRP. I was really disapointed. But they said on a car that new, and limited availability for now, they just would not budge. |

After making some phone calls I ended up negotiating to 1200 over. Prolly could have gotten 1000 but I was tired of negotiating and for what another $200 that works out to just a couple of dollars a month in the car payment.
