Well, I found a New 06 525i with automatic, sport, premium, navigation, satellite radio, and with color combination I want. The Dealer will sell it for $52,000 OTD, which includes an 8% California Sales Tax, and License fees, which would mean I would be buying it for $1100 over invoice.

Now, I have been reading that the MY 2007 is coming out in March. Should I wait for the new model year? Any suggestions?

As always, thanks

I'm biased because my car is only 1 week old.
But I'm glad I have the car and am enjoying it and driving it.
I don't regret it one bit.

I don't think the changes are significant enough to wait. If they have the car you want at a great price in the color combo you want (sounds like they do) , buy it and start enjoying it.

With the MY07 models around the corner, I think you should be able to do better than $1,100 over invoice.

It does not make sense to by 07 with the same option and no new feature. By 06 to save money and headache.

the biggest thing I see on the 07 is the standard aux input - just make the dealer put it on and get to 06

I have been thinking the same thing. So, what do you guys think I should be shooting for as far as price goes? Since the 07 is one month away, should I be able to get a 06 525i at invoice?
