#888 of 10305 04 330i by 330iii Dec 15, 2003 (1:43 pm)
I have noticed that the ZHP performance package is available with steptronic (Why?) but not SMG. The SMG(SMG is only available with ZSP sport package but not on the 330xi) is supposed to offer performance comparable to a manual tranny.Has anyone met a brick wall in vehicles equipped with the SMG or Performance package pricing?
#889 of 10305 2004 325i by marinabmw Dec 16, 2003 (9:22 pm)
I have finally decided to purchase a 2004 325i;struggled with the new 5 series, just can't get comfortable with the new body style. Any ideas on what i'd expect to pay? I thought of trying for a 2003, but supply seems to be dwindling. The resale market for these cars always seems strong and i will put extremely low miles on this car, so that if I change my mind about the 5 series in a year or two , I feel can still get a reasonable deal. Also, any thoughts on using an auto broker. I have heard all kinds of success stories about buying below or near invoice and less hassle factor. Enjoy the great feedback of this forum. Thanks.

#892 of 10305 Opinions on this deal for an '04 325xi? by crashtestdingo Dec 20, 2003 (2:30 pm)
Hi, all. My sister wanted a 325xi sedan with a manual transmission, but only automatics seemed to be available in our area (New York City / Long Island) so she had to order it. She ordered one with metallic paint, premium package and cold weather package. These are the numbers she got for the lease: 36 months, 10K miles annually, MSRP $34,820, "selling" price $33,575, residual value $21,240.20 (61% of MSRP), money factor .00215.   She thinks she got a great deal because Edmunds.com's TMV is $34,497 for our area, and carsdirect.com couldn't beat those numbers. She went to the dealership she did because of recommendations from friends and didn't shop any others, reasoning that carsdirect.com surveyed a number of dealers itself.   One thing gives me pause, though. On our first visit to this dealership, the salesman originally said the residual value would be higher (62% of MSRP, if I remember correctly). When we went back to make the deal, he gave her the lower number. He kind of brushed off the difference, saying that was what the residual value was "now," i.e., the day of our second visit, Dec. 12. I'm not certain that he tricked her; I'm open to the possibility that he made an honest mistake. Maybe the resdiual value of a car, as a percentage of MSRP, with a manual transmission is less than that of one with an automatic, and he originally quoted her the latter because he's so used to dealing with buyers who want an automatic?

very well may be.   Kudos to your sis to ordering a manual tranny car here in the NYC area:)

Also, has anyone had good luck with a particular Dealer in NJ?
#897 of 10305 incentives on 2003's ??? by benjamin753 Dec 22, 2003 (6:59 pm)
Does anyone have firm information on incentives for 2003's or 2004's? Has the November promotion been extended through the year's end?   Thanks,   Benjamin
