Prices for the X5 35i

I'm currently in the market for a 2011 X5 35i and I'm interested to see what you prices you guys paid for it. I haven't been on this forum for awhile and I remembered there used to be a thread where everyone posted their purchase prices... Is that thread still around? If not, then could you guys and gals share that info with me? Btw, I'm in SoCal.

i paid 500 below True Market Value with the added options but more than I wanted to over invoice. I don't feel as though I got a bad deal, but could have done better if I pushed it more.

I am now negotiating with my local dealer....they are selling me the x5 for 600 over invoice.

Has anyone seen the Cinnamon brown leather? I am looking for opinions on how that looks. Going to see one with it tomorrow.

I am also in final negotiations for an X5 35i. Most dealers wanted $1,200 - $1,500 over invoice, but I found a $100 over invoice deal with an East coast dealer and $600 over invoice from a semi-local (about 45 minutes away) dealer. Includes everything but sales tax.

I'm debating between taking the $100 over deal, doing a PCD delivery, and driving it home, or taking the local deal and skipping PCD. It would probably be a December or early January PCD delivery, not ideal for a drive back to Colorado.

So you guys have been getting pretty close to invoice price, that's good to know. So seems like the base X5 can be easily had for under $50k out the door?

Absolutely, but it depends a bit on what you mean by "base" and "out the door". Taxes can vary hugely...

But yes, well under $50K. I'm leaning towards an X5 35i base with convenience package, heated seats, roof rack, iPod adapter for $46,800 including everything but sales tax (~7% around here).

Yeah, tax in CA is 9.75... So seems like you'll be able to get the X5 for just about 50k with tax. I really like the convenience package as well. Good choice.

Anyone else care to chime in on getting a deal?

X5 35i Premium, Convenience pkg, Tech Pkg, Heated Seats, Running Boards, Cargo Cover, Spare Tire, Capeted Floor Mats $59,700 msrp.... Cash Price $55,600 I Think I got a good deal. The Car is fantastic and I love the Combox controller that shows all the itunes album cover art when my ipod is attached via usb cable.

500 over invoice premium with tech cold weather 3rd row and a couple other things. Total was around 58

what dealer were you guys working with...best I was seeing midwest was $1000 to $1500. I would buy out of state for $500 over or better.

First, talk to eurocarsonline who will do a flat $100 over invoice, all inclusive, less incentives. Delivery at the Performance Delivery Center in South Carolina or at his dealership in Baltimore. He can also get you a quote for shipping to your door.

Next, look up your five closest dealers. See if you can find the name of the internet manager online. Call him directly (NOT a salesperson, NOT an internet salesperson, the internet sales manager) and tell him you are ready to buy with a $500 over invoice including all dealer fees price. If the first five won't do it (though I bet at least one of them will), look up the next five and make the calls to them next.

On my third call, I found a dealer willing to do $500 over. First two where $1,200 plus over.

It really depends where you are and how hard you are willing to look. In OC, I could not get lower than $1500 over invoice 2 months ago. 2 dealerships would not go below 2k above invoice and 1 gave me the 1500 above invoice. And why would they budge when they only had 1-2 on lot and they already had customers filled in their slots?
X5 is a hot commodity with high demand and low supply. Not like the 3 series where there were plenty sitting on the lot.

does that 100 over invoice price include holiday cash too? or once you apply holiday cash you go down 2400 below invoice?

The holiday cash is brand new... but I am assuming for now it will drop the price to $2,400 below if you use BMW financing.

I ordered a 35d last month. It is in production (completing on 5th) and then they will ship it next week. When I ordered last month I had locked on lease amount as per October rates but this month because of the holiday credit of 2500 my payment is going down by about $60. I am very happy.

In terms of price I got it just about the invoice price in NJ.

Kirit,

Congrats on your new X5d. Which dealership did you used on the purchase? Thanks

So just to be clear, you agreed to a price, ordered the X5 but haven't taken delivery yet, and the holiday credit applies? I ordered mine Sept 30, it just arrived at the dealer but they haven't called me yet to take delivery --- it looks like I'd still be eligible for this credit too. This would be a nice surprise...

Yes when I ordered I locked a price as per the October available rates for lease with an option to choose the lease price of Nov or Dec (when I get the delivery). I was under the impression that it is common and all dealers would do it.

So if you have not taken the delivery I am sure you are eligible for the 2500 Holiday credit on top of the 3500 eco credit (if you ordered diesel like me).

I have ordered it at Open Road BMW in Edison NJ.

Thanks

Call around to dealers outside of metro areas. You ought to be able to avoid paying the MACO fee.

If you're with USAA, use their buying svc. Will yield a deal @ invoice.

Get the diesel instead and capture the $3500 Eco Credit and $1800 IRS credit

Call Karen at Albany BMW. She'll do invoice and NO MACO fee. Paperwork through the mail.

Apples to apples option configurations (not easy to do, mind you), the 35d MSRP's about $2,600 more than the 35i. The $3,500 eco credit makes it about $900 less. Not as big of a difference as you might assume at first, and not enough IMHO if you prefer the 300hp gas with the eight speed, as I do.

The $1,800 tax credit is nice, but be sure you qualify. I believe under some tax circumstances, you will not be able to utilize the credit (AMT, for example, check with your accountant, etc etc)

Just order mind today with Bayside BMW / NY. delivery mid Dec
35i Sport with Tech, Conv Package, 3rd Row, Comfort access, Heated Front seat, Running board
$3625 off MSRP

$61000
