BMW: HELP: BMW buying tips

Decide exactly what you want and then play each against the other. Tell
them best price wins. Ignore the crying.

You can get a good starting price at carsdirect.com or autobytel.com Don't
believe what they tell you that it is the best price. Costco also has a
good starting price.

Price is always negotiable. Now is a great time to buy the 5-series,
because
they are coming out with a new model starting next month. If you can find
one on a lot you like, you should be able to get it for about $1000 over
invoice.
 

No, there is some variation in dealers.

Check the current dealer incentives. I purchased my 2003 5er when there was
a US$ 3,000 (525), 4,000 (530) and 4,500 (540) incentive. I suspect Canada
has something similar to clear the inventory. There are no dealer
holdbacks, etc so there's no hidden profit in the negotiation.

My final purchase price was $1500US under invoice (actually $2000, the
dealer also ate a mandatory $500 advertising fee passed on from the dealer
he got the car from). I would think you could do as well.
