finally had time to check the car lol
build date April 2014.

and yeah the 435 was fun, didn't think the power delivery would be so linear. Then again, my previous car was an Evo Tommi Makinen so i guess anything is more refined than that haha

Yeah I took the wifes 328i out for a hoon on the weekend, it really delivers in the performance stakes, so much fun to drive!

Hi All,

Looking at purchasing a 428i, any price guides I can go by?

Cheers,
Hash

[Aapparition90]

coupe or gc ? between 85-95 for a well spec'd coupe, 95-100 for a well spec'd gc. you can keep the prices to the bare minimum since most things come standard in a 428i.

[Hash]

I'm after a 428i coupe with the following specs roughly:

- sunroof
- HUD
- Heated Seats
- Comfort access
- DAB+ radio
- M sport package

Unsure if there is anything else that I've missed which others have found worthwhile..360 camera etc.

What are the costs of the individual leather?

Cheers,

Hash

Anybody bought a 328i M-Sport recently care to share their deal? The new hi-line option should bring down the listed prices, just wondering will the dealers knock as much off now?

Looking for M-Sport with some extras.

[Aapparition90]

Helped someone buy before eofy.. 72k my14 msport,metallic paint,innovations,sunroof,xenons. car had 10km's on it so that might have have slightly affected the price but practically brand new showroom stock.

the plan initially was for a gc but the price difference and the innovations swung it 3 series way.. saying that 420i gc is priced fairly attractively and comes with lots of options standard.. 428i much more so like hifi/adaptive suspension.

What was the list price and did you do much bargaining on the price?

I didn't do much bargaining because the dealer was really cooperative to cancel my initial order and reorder with sunroof and heated seats without affecting my deposit etc although the car had gone into production. I didn't push them too much because of this, but initial list price was around 92k ish before the 'high line' package was introduced. Got 4 yrs free servicing under the corporate plan, so I was happy with the positive outcome.

[pauricmcb]

Ended up buying a White 328i Msport Hi-line so comes with Xenons & Innovations package. Got Harmon Kardon, DAB+ Tuner, Connected Drive Lifestyle, Variable Steering and Adaptive Suspension and also 4 years servicing. Got it for 77k driveway with delivery Nov/Dec. Can't wait now, first car in 3 years!!

Didn't go for sunroof as don't think I will ever use it, only thing I am worried about is that it may make it slightly more difficult to sell in a couple of years time.

[Aapparition90]

Yeah it does but otherwise a very good deal.I regret not having hk more than sunroof.

The new highline package has made a big difference to the prices. A few weeks back it would have been an extra 6k listed price for all that.

I'm not considering what finance option is the best to go for. I've got a few options here:

1) Pay outright, but would rather have the security of money in the bank even if it costs me abit more.
2) Novated lease option
3) BMW full circle, they are offering me 45k value of the car in 2 years time. Has anyone been able to negotiate this price upwards?
4) Get financing from the bank.

Also, if this is better as a new thread I can start a new one.

Thoughts?

This is quite annoying as I ordered before the release of the high line. Not quite delivered yet - has anyone managed to negotiate a price reduction before delivery?

I've run the numbers a few times and 12 month novated lease does stack up for me. I will finance myself with cheaper money after the initial term. Long leases don't stack up when I look at them.

e.g.

Car price: 82k (driveaway)

12 month novated lease including 9k (ex. GST) running costs:

Payments: 34k (after tax - i.e. impact on take home pay)
Residual: 55k inc GST
Total: 89k

12 month Loan: (assuming same residual/payment profile)

Payments: 86k (7%)
Running costs: 9.9k (inc GST)
Total: 95.9k

Net benefit = 6.9k

Hi guys
been looking around to buy a second hand 3 series for a month or two now
any suggestion on what I should be aiming for with this car?

my13.5 2013 328i
koral red leather
professional navigation
lights package
hifi audio
sunroof
m sport package
estoril blue metallic paint
convenience telephony
~6800km

thanks

[Aapparition90]

hifi audio is standard, harmon kardon is a option on 328i so dont let them charge you for that. my guess is 60-65k, does it have innovations ( heads up display, lanechange etc ) if not I would say 60k

[chopshop]

Hi guys, am looking to purchase a 2014 328i M Sport package sports line in estoril blue, pro navigation, bi xenon and sunroof. There are a few on carsales that are "premium selection" without innovations package, listed for $68-69000 drive away. Most have between 1,500 to 4,000km on the clock. Any suggestions on what I should be able to get the car for drive away? I'm guessing from the previous posts that it should be $60ish?
Thanks

[Aapparition90]

If your getting m sport then u cant get sports line mate, 60ish sounds fine aim for low 60's 3 series has taken a hit in the last few months because of the new c class so you have room to negotiate. Look for highline or innovations package,M sport and sportline apart from being different visually have different steering wheel, the m sport has a very nice sporty nappa leather 1 which I recommend ( same as m3,m6 etc ).
