Hey everyone....this is probably a newbie question. My lease is up at the end of May and im looking to get into my first bmw the f30 328i sportline. Ive seen the MRSP pricing online and i printed out an invoice copy of the build i want. MRSP price for my build is 51950 vs. Invoice 47790.

Ive talked to a few dealerships (Parkview, Mississauga, Town n Country and Endras) they've all givin me quotes via email which where all roughly the same other then Endras BMW which gave me the best deal. Most dealerships said they will give me the best price but i MUST COME IN. Is that true? I personally think they just want me to come in to sucker me in to signing a crappy deal.

Any help or tips on negotiating prices would really be appreciated and help me a great deal.

Get an Internet quote you like and go with it. Keep in mind that this car is hot, dealers are selling them before they even arrive and they have little motivation to lower the price.

To get the best price, you may have to jump on a plane and spend a day driving home in your new ride.

Thats what I did. Flew to Atlanta and drove my car back home. Its kind of fun and have done it with my past two cars.

Complete newbie here. In the process of building my first BMW (328i Sport Line). This idea of shopping online nationwide and driving it home is appealing. How did you go about it—just hit different dealers through their websites?

....yes just go to dealership websites and find the internet sales manager, you'll have a few options, you can then drive/fly to pick up, or you can have them ship it to you, or you can even get a performance center delivery (which I believe saves the manufacturers shipping fee on the car [the $895] as an added benefit for the cost of going to SC) and then pick it up and drive home after enjoying the experience.

Theres always European Delivery. The ED invoice price is much cheaper, dealers are happier giving you a deal closer to invoice since it doesn't come out of their allocation and if you can fly for cheap or use points you can save a ton of money.

I'm picking up my 328i in two weeks from Munich. Paid a couple hundred bucks over ED invoice.

You're from Toronto, this case is completely different.

Visit the dealership on a saturday morning and negotiate with something they have on lot. This will ensure you the best discount. Dealerships are not very willing to discount cars they have to order - they'd rather pull something off of their own lot.

BMW Toronto has access to the biggest inventory for any car as they own Parkview as well. Try Warren at BMW Toronto - he's a long timer and often gives me 5-6% off each car I buy.

Hope it helps

I'm also in the GTA and plan to see some local dealers shortly. What sort of quotes (I.e. how much below MSRP or above invoice) are you seeing?
