Just did a calc and list price of car plus your options is$78,681. If u get this u r doing really well. Any lower and u r legendary.
I would get a few quotes for a 1 year lease and total the after tax outlay. This can be quite competitive with buying outright. That's what I did to get my dealer to give me list price as I had a very real alternative if they didn't give me list. Since your list goes over the lct threshold, list could be harder. Good luck.

You can get them to discount that off the normal $3k price - but thats part of the discount when they negotiate! - so really your car should be $85288 (using your figures), and then work out the discount from there. |

Ok, guys here is my current proposed spec for your thoughts on pricing. My goal is to create something a little special, so i realise there is some cost penalty, but lets see how we go
328 M sport Tanzanite blue (indiv) Cashmere beige (indiv) Adaptive suspension M performance brakes Variable steering Rear view camera Sun blinds for rear side windows Bi xenon Extended connectivity Navi pro Then the 3 other options I am considering but could leave out if price gets to be a factor are Surround view Sunroof 19 inch wheels Look forward to your thoughts! |

I think 19" are standard on the M-sport pack? Surround you won't miss - camera, sensors and mirrors are more than enough. Nice gadget though. Would strongly recommend the HUD. |

You may be right re the 19s on msport, and yes, i think i need the roof too; apart from ny 1M havent had a car without sunroof for a long time. Re HUD, love the idea of it, just a question of whether its worth 2k? |

Confirming when you order M-Sport, you get the 403M 19" mixed wheels as part of the package. 225/40 in front & 255/35 in back.

Surround view could be most useful + Park Assist. 19" wheels don't ride as well IMO but look great. Sunroof? But then why order sunblinds? Is it necessary with climate control? Also, makes the car heavier, less stiff and it can rattle.

It really depends on what car you had previously. I had 7 years of the wonderful E90 but it has a stiff and rock hard suspension.
Now I just smile when I drive my F30, as in comparison, the F30 feels like its gliding on air. Very smooth.

And the new run flats are a bit softer. I test drove 18 and 19 and I don't think the ride is affected at all by the 19 with the new softer setup and new run flats. If you like the look of the 19's I'd go for them.
