A few BMW questions
First off I am curious what the most anyone has gotten as a discount when buying a new Bimmer. Second, is that a standard thing or does it vary from dealership to dealership? I went by Desert BMW of Las Vegas and started asking some questions. I didn't get a really great response from the sales guys.

you can usually get some sort of discount on the cars they have on the floor but they're in some color that doesn't sell as well as others and the options are usually not that impressive. as for ordering one to your liking, i doubt there's a discount unless you know the manager or something.

Agreed, you guys all know my experiences with Desert through my BMWhead roommate - both his 328i and now his 335i. The sad part is that the reason they can get away with such poor customer service is that masochists like my roommate are such BMW fanboys that they won't consider other brands anyway. Sure makes me happy I am sticking with Lexus.

It all depends on the particular model you're looking at, the dealer's inventory, your geographic location, etc.
I remember being offered nearly 8K off MSRP on brand new BMW M3 convertibles a few years back in Chicago during winter, and that was before any sort of negotiation.
If European Delivery is an option for you, you can also get pretty good discounts vs. Standard pricing.

When my g/f was shopping between IS350 and 335i late last year they were offering the remaining '07s are invoice and '08s $800 over. Not sure what the discount is but the sales lady said that was what we could get at the time.

that is funny. Winter of 06' was when I bought my IS350 and they wouldn't do jack squat for me at BMW. In fact they said this, "I will give free tint and floor mats." I told them they just lost another customer. The arogance of Desert BMW means I will never buy one of their cars. At least not from them. They treat their customers like complete morons.

That true, I've seen what some are paying for base model cars and they think their worth it cause it's a BMW, my local Dealer is good but you have to be well informed and patient, cause they will put you in a pre-owned 325 with monthly payments that will buy you a new loaded 335
