[quote name='DR.Z' date='Sep 19 2004, 08:50 AM'] I'm not trying to insult anyone, but some posters feel they need to Rizzo a deal, or post about 1000.00 over invoice deals, maybe some of these guys should just look to a less expensive car
brand if overall price is there driving force in the purchase.

i agree w/both dr.z and you. but no matter how much i paid for my car, my dealer is still one of the worst on earth

so you haven't bargained with the sales advisor yet, right?
for the accessories, i'd definitely get the red reflector, chrome grilles if you ordered 525/530, wood shifter and/or wood e-brake, all-weather rubber mats, wheels, cleaning products, etc. but don't order anything yet. you may want to talk to your sales advisor and see if he can throw some of them in for you and give you discount for the others
. that was what i did

My Ride: 04 545A Dynamic Drive Pkg (Active Steering; Active Stabilization) Sport Pkg, Premium Sound, CD Changer, Rain sensor wipers, Red Rear reflectors
I think dealer inventory is pretty high here (Toronto Canada). I went to 3 dealerhsips and asked to see the actual colours on the cars so I could get to see their inventory. And there are plenty of 5 series (mostly 530s) on their lots. Whereas MB is doing much better... all 04 rear-drive e500 are sold. 05s are coming in 2 weeks.
I ordered a 545 last saturday from dealer stock... I got 9% off MSRP. The sales guy said there's a Cdn$4000 manufacturer rebate to move the 04 inventory. I can't complain. So the actual discount is about 3.5% off MSRP and the sales guy was happy and agreed to throw in floor matts and invited my son to the BMW store to pick anything he wants not more than $150. in total.. so I figure there's a handsome commission for the sales guy.

I did not negotiate any price matter yet, of course. But It looks very tough to get good deal here at Bay area, CA. In fact dealer strongly wants to keep higher price in this affluent area.
