BMW X5 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
2004 X5 3.0
Hello: Need opinions on if we're getting scammed...We are negotiating on the above vehicle w/options and dest MSRP of 50970. Dealer agreed to $2400 off the MSRP to bring price to $48570. He took our credit card # for a $1000 down payment, but has not yet charged the card. We want specific color combos and he said that he located the vehicle (coming off the mfr line) ... Read More...
Advice sought on Lease terms
I am looking at a 2004 BMW X5 with a MSRP of approximately $49800. With excellent credit including a FICO score of 748, I was wondering what sort of money factor and residual value would be appropriate. I have in mind a 48 month lease with annual mileage of 12K with zero capital reduction. As far as I know, BMW is not offering any incentivized leasing programs. I'd ... Read More...

Subaru Sales
If this brand is so hot and the cars are as great as we are led to believe on this website than why are the sales flat. March 2004 17,606 verses March 2003 17,614. I remember the comments at the end of January when BMW had one down month that several of you and you know who you are said BMW was dropping fast and they had lost it. Using the logic from that discussion then Subaru ... Read More...
ajitpk re: flexibility on 4.4i pricing
Just negotiated the purchase of a loaded 2004 X5 4.4i. Got approximately $1750 off MSRP. I attribute this more to the dealership than my negotiating skills. There are 4 BMW dealers in our "area", and this was by far the nicest, most customer-friendly one in every respect. The others all acted as if "the cars will sell themselves; we don't need you--you need us." ... Read More...

2004 X5 4.4
The 4.4 engines have all gone to the new 545, 645 and 745. You are lucky if you can find one 4.4i X5 with your preferred options. Those who have ordered the X5 4.4i will need to hold their breaths. It may take another 2 months to have the car delivered. The salesman will probably tell you expected delivery within one month, or give you a very good discount on the 3.0i. ... Read More...

I received a similar email from the internet sales manager at Allison BMW. It applied only to in-stock vehicles (except M's). They only had X5 3.0's in stock and 2003 4.4's. I think that deal expired. I ended up ordering a 2004 4.4 from a dealership that gave me a little discount off MSRP. Read More...
doneby2010 - update
Well, just got back from BMW of Manhatten (I live in FL, just here for a week or so - got bored sitting in the apartment, took a walk over). They had a Black X3/6sp/3.0/Sand-leather/Birch Grain on the floor. I thought the wood did improve the interior (thought the Maple-Dark color would have been a better contrasting choice of wood), but I was confused by the color ... Read More...
