I am looking at the price for a 530 SMG. With all the options that I want, it comes out to roughly $66,000. How much below MSRP can I expect to pay? Or how much above invoice?

I paid about $1500 over invoice for my 2006 530i (US April '05 build) - std transmission, sport package, folding rear seats, sunshades. No Nav, no SMG, etc. I was out the door for just under $55k, including tax, license, etc.

$66K for a 530 seems awfully expensive...get a 550 for that much cash.

(and $1200 to $1500 above invoice seems very common)

Go through Costco or Autobytel. I used Autobytel and got 1.9% over wholesale on my car - also a 2006 model delivered in April 05. Car was ordered, didn't affect the discount. Translated into less than $1400 over wholesale. The best deal I've seen though is one someone described that they got through Costco... $1000 over wholesale.

If you're in the US, just use http://kbb.com to price out your car. It will give you the invoice and MSRP of every option, and totals for your whole vehicle as you price it out. (Also, all of this information is in the pricelist on the information page on this very site: http://e60.net/information/).

You should be able to get it for $1500 over invoice, but you may have to check other dealers.

Yikes, sorry guys that was for a 550i with SMG! The 530i SMG was about $56K. So it seems like $1500 over invoice is about right... but how come I dont see discounts on the 550i or 650i? They are selling for MSRP on Carsdirect.com. Is it because they are brand new models?

It's because the premium models are always in demand and don't need discounting.
