Has anyone seen any pricing info on the 2006 IS?

I've heard anything from 25K for a 250 with 6sp, cloth, no sunroof base car to 47K for a fully loaded 350 with Pre-Collision and everything.

 

I think pricing is supposed to be released on Monday the 15th.

However, some current estimates state $30,500 for base 250, $32,500 for 250 AWD, and $36,500 for 350.... supposedly 42-45k completely loaded.

We shall soon see....

 

My dealer is saying $45 to 46,000 for a fully loaded 350. But he is just speculating until the actual numbers come out.

 

 

that's about what it is for the 330i.

 

My sales guy said that they are figuring that a loaded up 350 won't top 42K, as they know people will run to BMW if it does. He also quoted a base (including destination) of 35-36K that he supposedly got from a conversation with their Lexus corporate rep.

 

loaded 330i is 50k, and thats without all the goodies in IS350...

 

i priced a 330i up to 55k on bmwusa.com

 

The advantage that the lower-end Lexus's have always had over BMW is the list of standard features. EVERYTHING is optional on BMW's, and they get pricey VERY quickly.

 

That's crazy, who would pay that?!?!?! You can get a M3 for that

Lets hope the IS starts at half that

 

you can acutally get it to $60K if you include all the options, including the stuipid ones

but when you add options to the M3, it will be in 60's then... heh, you cant beat the system
(of course once M3 is released).

 

The new M3 with the V8 in it will probably START around 60... Educated guess: $49,990

 

$47K for a loaded IS350, I would rather get a base M3 (W/ 4 years/50K miles service schedule maintainance included).

 

or get base IS350 and save 15k!!!

SHOCKING, I know...
