Outrageous BMW Prices
I dropped off my car for servicing this morning and had time to check out the showroom for a bit. I couldn't believe the pricing on some of the BMWs they had there! $53,198 for a modded 2011 135i CP (marked down from $56,063 in a "red tag sale") and $54,971 (regularly $60,931) for a 2010 328i CP. What are they smoking??? Might as well get a 1M or M3 for those prices.
2011 BMW 135i CP - 41,175 BMW Performance wheels - 4,990 BMW Performance steering wheel - 2,995 Diffuser CF cover - 1,795 Strut brace - 1,395 Rear CF spoiler - 1,299 CF mirror covers - 999 CF grills - 795 Pin-striping - 495 Floor mats - 125 TOTAL - 56,063 2010 BMW 328i CP - 45,225 BMW Performance wheels - 3,926 BMW Performance suspension - 3,285 BMW Performance exhaust - 2,739 BMW Performance steering wheel - 1,666 Brake kit - 1,491 Front mount (?) - 1,169 Air intake - 1,035 CF grills - 795 BMW Performance shifter - 475 Floor mats - 125 TOTAL - 60,931 |

^well, the base msrp of those cars seem in-line with bmw's increased pricing (read somewhere that was the general consensus for fiscal 2012) and both are heavily optioned with super-pricey bmw performance parts. i mean, $3000 for a steering wheel??? outrageous. $800 for carbon fiber grills???

Buy a 3-year old CPO; they'll be half those prices. No idea why ANYONE would buy a brand new one unless they like to lose money immediately.

Buying the '00 M5 new was an amazing experience, especially the BMW Performance Center in SC. It's a great time, but things just keep going up in price, it's crazy. Chris

I drive 35-39k miles per year. I could never buy new because the car would be out of warranty long before I paid it off. Besides, as it's been stated several times here, the 3 y.o. CPO's are the best value. I have two (X5 and Z4) that combined have lower monthly payments than a new 3-series. Both are in great shape.

You should check out the prices in Canada, which are substantially higher than US prices, even though the US and Canadian dollars are now on par. The differences are so substantial that it amazes me that BMW dealerships up here can sell a car at all. I'd expect folks to just import their cars from the US and save thousands per car. Like I did.

I paid half the price of what my M cost when it was brand new! Such a good feeling...especially since the car is now worth more than what I originally paid for it. I've NEVER been in a situation like this before. Fn LOVE IT!
