Which BMW dealership would you recommend for smooth sales transaction (w/ good discounts)?

I have been talking to a sales person from Sterling BMW but, we actually have not talked about the detail numbers yet. Any experiences?

Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Same boat as you (also Audi); would love any help as this would be my first M purchase (first BMW

); also DMV area. Any recommended connects would be appreciated!

I placed my order with BMW of Cantonsville. The sales manager there use to be a salesman at BMW of SS. I've bought three BMW's (this will be my second M) from him. I got a STEAL of a price. I'm paying $250 above invoice BEFORE any incentives. I have it all in writing. My salesman at BMW of Catonsville is Benn Edwards. Nice British cap.

Is $2000 over invoice good deal?

Are you on the BimmerAlliance FB group? If so, you should try Peter Wang and give him a shot

I dont think thats unreasonable. This for a lease or purchase?

esb16 · 11-24-2015, 08:50 AM

It is for a Purchase

chillindrdude · 11-24-2015, 10:31 AM

i would see if you can cajole them to $1500 or $1250 over invoice. or have them waive some of the BS fees they try to tack on.

this is for a confirmed allocation? what week production? and are you doing dealer delivery or PCD/ED?

Is there a difference from the dealer perspective on ordering given allocation if the buyer leases or purchases?

Edit:
More incentive for dealer to sell a car rather than lease it out?

chillindrdude · 11-24-2015, 11:38 AM

agreeing to a vehicle selling price is an important aspect of a lease agreement. but there are also other just as important factors.

be wary of dealers agreeing to a low selling price, but then more than make that up with shitty MFs, for example, in the back end.

Yep, it is Money Factor. There are a few good threads on this and how to get the best deal in the Buying/Pricing/Eurodelivery forum. It is worth serious buyers' time to read through those.

I live in Ashburn and shopped all the local dealers. Sterling was the highest. I got 7.1% off MSRP before incentives at Passport. I bought an E39 M5 from them a few years ago.
Dave Comfort Mgr, Mark White Mgr. and Ian Lawyer CA made it a very easy and nice transaction. I'm still waiting for delivery, but their post sale support been really good too. Check them out.

Let me know if I can be of any help if you haven't moved forward.

esb16 · 12-22-2015, 12:25 PM
