I got it for $500 over ED invoice. There happened to be a $1500 rebate going on just after I ordered the car which I also received.

Around here, San Francisco bay area, $500 over was accepted by all the dealers I talked to. It seemed to be standard.

How did you figure your ED invoice. It is not something readily available. I am basing off the ED calculator that was provided by a board member. It basically does 7% off of US invoice.

Thanks!

Take 14% off US base price then 9% off each US option cost and you'll have what I had as ED invoice. That was for a 2011 car. I do not believe much has changed.

Last year, I got hold of the confidential BMW ED invoice price sheet (published on this forum) and that's where these percentages come from.

When I spoke to salesmen, I was up front with them, showed them the ED invoice price sheet and offered them $500 over that price. Salesmen were, at first, reluctant to accept the offer. But I stuck to my price and after a while, it was accepted. I think your offer needs to get in front of the sales manager. That's where the decision will most likely be made.

I hope that helps. Good luck

I got mine for $1K over ED invoice. Sticker price was $73K and I paid $63K. I also received a $1K rebate check from BMW since I've been a BMW CCA member for more than one year.

You should look around for a deal. Many dealers stick to 7% discount from sticker. So I bought it from a dealer in Chicago.

14% What? Wow I got screwed then. By those numbers my car should have cost $51,933 based on the US MSRP. I did ED and my selling price was $54,169.

So the dealer made $2236 off me. Not to mention they screwed me on the money factor too. Not bad for a deal that took only a couple of hours and on a car they'll only see on the lot for a day. Arrr What's upsetting isn't that they made money. I understand that. Its that they acted like I got the best deal ever done. Complete BS.
