Want to get responses from those who are shopping or recently purchased. Some dealers are hiding behind the "really hard to find" excuse, but I'm more resourceful than normal and am willing to drive 300+ miles for the right car.

I am interested in those who have just bought new 2008s, or used 2007s. Also, I see some 2007's on dealer lots shown as "used" with 10 miles. My guess is the dealers purchased them to punch an end of year incentive from BMW, and will try to market them for next to new money.

Any insights are appreciated.

I don't think the E90s are hard to find. Many examples on this forum of purchases with significant discounts. The E92s are rarer but you can still get $1,000-1,500 off MSRP.

A car is used if it has been titled, not based on how many miles are on it.

Agree you can get 1K to 1.5K off if you shop hard enough and willing to drive a little farther for it. I can't fault a dealer for only coming $500 off. More power to them but I just keep shopping.

In the meantime I've been reading up on the E46M3 vs. 335i discussions here and elsewhere. I've never seen such intrabrand rivalry...can't we all just get along?

Yesterday, I drove about 350 miles to buy my e90 335i because my local dealer, who is the only one in town, was pretty unwilling to deal on them. So I found a dealer in Ft Worth who gave me a great deal on one.

You guys are making me feel pretty good, my dealer gave me a little better than $3000 off on my 335xi. I love the car.

Don't be afraid to kiss and tell, that's why I asked the question.

Thanks in advance....

The dealership that gave me the good deal was Autobahn BMW. Chad Barton was my CA. He was very helpful, very patient. I hate sounding like a shill or fanboy, but he was very good.
