Ordered m sport 528i...options/pricing check
Hey all,
I'm a current e39 owner, but needed another car and just put in an order for an f10. Here's the build: 528i Carbon Black Cinnamon Brown leather/Anthracite wood Prem Pack I M Sport Cold Weather Pack Park Distance Control Xenon Headlights Navigation System iPod and USB Adapter MSRP is about $58k, and we ended up agreeing on a price around $51-$52k. Lease is for 36 months, 12k miles, and monthly payment came out to $695. Two quick questions: 1. Pricing seems fair to me. What do you think? 2. Did I miss any obvious options? I equipped the Navi because of the rebate. Is bluetooth audio included on all models or is that another option? 3. I'm still debating on the 8-speed sport auto. Not sure if its a waste of money. The gear selector looks better, but I don't see myself using the paddle shifters. Does the sport auto change any other settings? Other than that, I'm pretty happy. Can't wait till it gets here. |

I suggest to get 8 speed auto. Although u don't use the paddle, the selector provides better steering feedback, faster shifting, more responsive throttle in sport.
No brainer for $500. |

For such a price why not go with a 535 and have less msport pack. After you buy this car and if you see a 535i on the road crossing you will be like ahhhhh i would have got that 535i, damn it,
Just a thought and i would have felt the same thing |

After a little more thinking, I'm going to ask my dealer to add the 8-speed auto as well. |

Trust me my friend, i have owned 12 cars in past eight years and all new ones, the craze for looks will fade over time, and i assure you after a year or two you will be like i wish i had ordered a 535i, i am not saying go for 550i, but for a 5 grand more you can get more powerful machine that you can cherish for a long time to come, my two cents, at the end of the day you are the boss of your decisions.

I was on the same boat. I finally picked regular sport 535i.
In term of looks: msport 535i is the best, but I don't want to pay $6500 more for it. For me regular sport 535i = msport 528i in term of look. 535i is better due to the 19" wheels and dual sided exhaust. Msport 528i looks good from the front, but the 18" wheels and the rear end (one-sided exhaust) do not look that good. At the end, since 528i depreciates faster than 535i, I went with 535i. |

I also think i'm going to remove the cold weather package and get premium package II instead. It will increase the price marginally but I'll get an upgraded sound system and rear camera. |

For leasing there's small difference in residual by 1%.

Also, I ultimately changed my order today. Dropped Cold Weather Package, Park Distance COntrol and the iPod USB adapter. Instead, I added Prem Pack II. |

i was building the car out too last night and saw that the prem II made more sense than breaking it down. Also, i might go to the dealership to test out the hifi stereo. Wonder how it is compared to logic 7 of my previous e60.
Thanks, you got 5 posts. :-) |
