I am going to buy a new 07 550i this week, but I can?t find one anywhere in the US with these options . . .

Model 0753 550i

Color Black Sapphire Metallic or Jet Black



Upholstery LCBA Beige Dakota Leather (Almost all Black 550?s are black interior why? Doesn?t that get hot?


Must have Options
Anthracite Trim
ZPS Premium Sound Package 1,800.00
ZSP Sport Package 2,800.00
205 STEPTRONIC automatic trans. N/C
322 Comfort Access 1,000.00
655 Satellite radio 595.00
609 Navigation system 1,800.00
610 Head-Up Display 1,000.00

Would be nice options
416 Rear sunshades 575.00
465 Fold down rear seats 475.00
494 Heated front seats 500.00
653 High Definition radio 500.00


For Wheels I have already ordered Vellano 3 piece VSH 20in in Chrome.
Should I have ordered brushed or chrome? I have been second guessing this decision ever since I order them. I like the Radenrgie R-10's brushed





For the body kit it looks like everyone has the M Aero Kit from BMW ? on the BMW site the price is 1699.00 . . . How much to paint and install? And how long does it take?

Last but not least MSRP on the car is 58,500 with options it came out to ~70,000; does anyone know what invoice is on the car and what I should be willing to offer?

bmw4life

www.e60.net and click on the information tab, it should tell you options and also have a invoice listing of prices for options. btw are you getting the logic 7

i would recommend, getting

logic7
smg
nav
hud
comfort access
sports

677 Premium hi-fi system was in the quote . . . but listed as "no charge" I assuming this is the Logic7

One thing that sucks is you cant search the BMW USA new inventory . . . any suggestions

All the dealers I have called say you shoudl build it and wait 8-10 weeks, which I don't want to do.

Should I be able to get the car at invoice?

Thanks for your help!

hifi is different from the logic 7 if you open the trunk when your looking at your car, you wil see a little extra lump on the left corner with a little tiny compartment. without the logic 7 you will just see a flat open space, enough to fit a golf bag. what dealers are you looking at. my best bet if your going to buy a 550 is to order it, if your going to lease it, then try to find one comparable in maybe a different color, if opts are more important to you than color, but most 550 out there is either white black silver or gray

bmw4life

yea you should be able to get it at invoice also.

LowOrbit

Get it at invoice? I am not so sure about that.

I don't think is has the Logic7 ...
They offered it to me at 68,740


Which I think is to high, where would be the best place to go to search the complete US inventory? And what dealers do you recomend (Not in AZ)

Iceman

From what I see above it does have L7.

Check with Shelley BMW in Buena Park, CA. Ask for Tom (saleman). Good luck!!!

You don't list your location, so it's hard to say, but from my experience you should be able to get an 07 550 somewhere between $500 to $1000 over invoice, and if it was me, that's how I would negotiate. Don't even look at MSRP, or deal from there. Offer $500 over invoice to start, and tell the dealer that you aren't going to pay any MACO fees, if applicable.
