Doc fees, that varies from dealer to dealer and is negotiable. About advertising fees, I am not sure. Some members have reported they were charged and some like me were not charged.

Many manufacturers DO charge a fixed advertising fee. I'm not certain about BMW though. Doc fees are generally in the $100 - $150 range in my experience.

Can someone kindly tell me what "training fees" are? For them to train me on the use of the car?
My 328i will be delivered (a transfer) next week and I'm trying to get my ducks in a row. Salesman told me there are no dealer fees. |

The advertising fee though, known as MACO, varies. Some dealerships don't pay it if they do not participate. However, most dealerships in SoCal do. I've noticed that some dealerships will wipe this cost off no problem. Others, they sneek it into the Invoice price. Just depends on how good a deal you can get. I think they should eat this cost since most dealerships are willing if you are getting the car anything over invoice. One dealership tried to charge $400+ for it. |

Thanks for the info -- it helped since I just brought home my first BMW tonight. Sure enough, the training fees and MACO ($400) were on there. I didn't complain since I was paying invoice and everything went so smoothly. Best car buying experience of my life -- no tricks, pushiness, or B.S. other than this MACO crap, but I left happy... And holy crap! There's a BMW in my garage!!
