I have finally decided to go with the 2005 545 over the 2006 530. thank you all for your valuable input in helping me arrive at this decision.

Can you guys give me some numbers for how much over invoice i should pay for the 2005 545.

I am getting black on black, sport pkg, prem sound pkg, cold weather pkg, nav, heads-up display, heated rear seats, window shades, sat radio. msrp is $65k. i was told that i could get it for $63k. <_< invoice is $60k. thanks.

1500 over invoice maco + training inclusive, dealer's buy rate on the loan and full KBB trade in value if any and you'll give the dealer all 5's on the CSI survey

I'd say you'd be lucky to get $1,500 off MSRP in this market!

No more than $1.5K above invoice...and that's stretching it...and that includes destination fee.

$1500 over invoice is very do-able. I got that on my '05 and they had to order it special for me. Of course it depends what part of the country ou are in. I used the "Rizzo Method" to get that deal after my local dealer wouldn't give me anything off.

You should be able to offer internet pricing to the dealer - 5% over invoice and pickup 1.5% back from BMWNA if you are BMW Car Club member. In my case just done Mid March 2005 - $63,815 MSRP 545i. Final cost $2000 over invoice. This was on a lease. Note: pickup up the 100k warranty if planning lots of miles - like over 50k - cost $1499 - the $ of a brake job.
Good Luck.
