same over this way for delivery in May. His sheet noted '07, but it may probably be some confusion with the 5 series. i've left message for the dealer to review the paperwork prior to submitting.

 

So where are you guys getting the invoice pricing for MY07 5 series? I just go the retail pricing sheet from my CA today which shows about a 1.5% increase over MY06. I certainly want to know what the invoice numbers are before I place my order. My CA mentioned that the retail prices represent about a 7% over invoice. The line he's running is that they had to drop the margins to 7% to maintain competitive with MB but have increased product content. Well they may have increased product content a little but they certainly increased the prices a lot. I wasn't planning on taking ED but if it will make that big of a difference I guess my next stop is expedia for an airline ticket.

 

07 invoice prices not out yet. You have to extrapolate using the 06 retail and wholesale prices and the limited 07 base pricing that is out.

The prices that have increased like on my 550 i have on order = $1,100 Base and $500 for the sports package, include comfort seats which were a 1200 option on the 06's and sports steering wheel and three years of BMW assist(some claim this is worthless). The 07 also allows you to delete the 6 CD changer but still get the Logic 7 radio. The 6 cd changer is a waste in my opinion if you have an ipod. The 07 also has the aux input included but was a $250 to $400 install job on the 06. Plus you are getting the next model year. All things considered, I think the 07 is a value over the 06.

 

If retail is 7% over invoice for MY07 than the invoice pricing is considerably higher from the the previous year. Instead of a $700 base price increase for the 530i is really like a $1,400 increase.
