I participated in my dealer's team USA to get the $1k off today and ordered a replacement for my 2011 X3 3.5i. They had a good selection of drive vehicles from a heavily optioned 335i sport to 328i modern I chose sport, premium, xenon, cold weather, alarm, h/k. This will be my third jet black BMW. My interior choices were black, anthracite and chrome.

Excited to have a car again soon. Wanted to do performance delivery but it's too far for me to get back to the great plains.

Thanks for all the posts that allow me to learn about prices and experiences.

Cheers

Congrats on the order. What made you choose 6MT vs the 8-speed?

$1k off what? Invoice?

I want a 6MT one last time. My first BMW was a very basic 2007 6 speed 328i and I miss that car very much. I traded that for a 2011 A4 Q 6MT as an ordered next generation X3 was to replace it but delayed. I moved to all wheel drive vehicles due to my thought I needed better snow performance beyond snow tires. I guess I don't care about that so much anymore.

The 8 speed automatic in the X3 is amazing and was so in the 328i I test drove today. My main takeaway today was how improved the interior was over my current and past BMW.

My CA is very good and it was my third purchase. I believe in this world we can all create value in how the negotiation process works. So no stress just asked for 2500 off plus 1000 for team USA and he said ok and amended a previously ordered vehicle.

Nice I'm a manual fan too, but we seem to be dwindling fast. A lot of the manual crowd switched over for the 8AT since it's so "fast and efficient."

Glad you are happy with the deal.
