Below invoice possible for 335i?
I am trying to decide between 2015 335i and 2016 340i. While I prefer the 340i because it is the latest and the greatest, I wouldn't mind getting 335i as long as I am able to get a really good deal. In fact comparing the MSRP for my configuration, 340i is $2200 cheaper than 335i since many options I wanted are going to be standard on 340i.
I am going to be approaching dealers in my area next week and was wondering if it would be possible for me to negotiate a 335i for about $1500-$2000 less than invoice before any available incentives. Is this unrealistic? I don't see any point in getting 335i if I don't get a substantial discount. I can as well wait till the demand for 340i eases a bit and try to get a decent deal on it.

Thanks! While demo cars are something I will consider depending on miles and availability, would it be possible to get $1500-$2000 less than invoice before incentive for non-demo cars?

I just bought a brand new 335i for under invoice. I found that local dealers in my area were willing to deal on cars in their inventory. I also had a USAA incentive that helped with the price. If you're willing to be a little flexible on the options/colors I think you can get a deal for around what you're looking to pay.

2k below invoice is a bit of a stretch before incentives. It looks like you are in Seattle area?

What would be a a reasonable point to start negotiations from? $1500 less than invoice? $1000 less than invoice? For any less discount, I will probably end up waiting and getting 340i since there won't be any price difference. |

But its good to hear the perspective of a CA from the area. Will probably set my expectations right and end up waiting for some more months and get a 340i . Last edited by pnwdriver; 06-12-2015 at 02:48 PM.. |

Competitive dealers (internet sales guys (e.g. BMW David)) do $500 over invoice no questions asked... pair that with $1000 off with drive for team USA event.. and get yourself a sweet 3 series for under invoice with no hassle

I was wondering if it possible to get $1500 below invoice before incentives. From what I have heard so far, it looks like it might be difficult. Assuming the 2016 pricing guide is accurate, it doesn't make financial sense for me to go for 335i if I don't get that discount. I can wait till October/November and order a 340i to my exact liking and also take advantage of the holiday incentives. I might probably end up paying a bit more, but at least I will get a MY 2016 car with new engine. I am also seriously considering MB C400. It looks amazing and I have heard MB dealers are giving crazy discounts on the C series. Decisions, decisions, decisions! |

You have to have perfect timing.
Quarter end on a weekday, target a slow dealer, etc $1000 below invoice can be done if you pick something from their lot I got invoice on my 2015 428 GC and that was an order car
