Yes i know............ I'm not telling anyone they can get 12.5% off MSRP on the F30. We are talking about fees remember? Fees are fees are fees. What model the car is doesn't matter. Someone just asked what model i bought so I answered as it as i side note....


(i would say 5.5% - 6% off MSRP should be your target for a F30)

Price I Paid: $45,500

Out the door price, I believe was approximately $47,200 after tax, title, registration, etc. I'm not exactly sure without going home to look but I did trade in my GTI so that helped bring the taxes down too. I factory ordered the car, it wasn't one on the lot.

I live in the Akron area, it's about 40 minutes south of Cleveland. I would say there are at least 4 or 5 BMW dealerships in the Cleveland/Akron/Canton area.

I was honestly expecting to pay closer to $47,000 for my car, I low-balled early to start the negotiations and they accepted my first offer so I'm pretty pleased. Hope that helps, good luck!

Wow, that's a great deal.
I'm very surprised at how close the edmunds invoice was to the actual BMW invoice, as the BWM invoice includes MACO.
With my last 2 BMW purchases the invoice shown to me was between $400 to $500 more than what edmunds shows. That was also true when I bought an A4 in 2006.

My BMW dealer is willing to do a $500 over invoice deal.
I hope the actual invoice is pretty much what edmunds shows because I'll save almost $500.

I'm still holding hope that BMW offers a current customer incentive and/or lease incentive.
When I leased my 135i BMW came with a $750 lease credit after I had already placed my order. I emailed my SA and it was no problem in getting the $750 off. Shaaweeet!
Maybe lightening will strike twice.

That's great.
However, that's a car BMW needs to move.
The F30 is selling very well.
No one is going to get that kind of deal on a new 3.
With your huge discount it probably looks like you didn't pay MACO, but it was in there, it's just that that deal was below invoice, and BMW is giving money to dealers to help move those X5's.

There are/were huge deals on 2011 3's as well, they were going well below invoice, so much below that MACO isn't even a factor at that point.

Great deal though.
It's awesome to get such a discount on the vehicle you want. :thumsup

At that percentage from MSRP the deal would be good.
7% from MSRP is about where invoice is for most BMW's.

I like to work from invoice up rather than from MSRP down.
