Re: BMW Z4 Invoice Vs. MSRP and dealer recommendation in DC/Virginia

#1

I don't know if this is apples-to-apples but last weekend I bought a new
540i in Seattle. Paid $500 over invoice -- after a little customary
haggling. The salesman said they were motivated because, this late in the
year, the factory was giving them two build slots (for '04 models) for each
'03 they sold. Again, it may be a different thing with the Z4 and your
location. FWIW

I'm just fantasizing what it would be like to cruise down the Blue Ridge
Parkway in a Z4 on a crisp autumn day. Hope you enjoy it!

I am currently in the market for a BMW Z4 2.5l in Virginia. My questions
regards what I as a potential buyer should consider a fair "BASE" price
for
this vehicle. I realize it is impossible for people on this board to tell
me
what a fair price is because option permutations make that impossible. But
I
would like to know what people's experiences were with wiggle room in
pricing.

Specific Questions:

1) Should a reasonable base be MSRP?
Should a reasonable base be Invoice +$1500, +$2000 or ????

2) Anyone have experience with BMW dealers in the Washington DC area?

3) Anyone have experience with dealers in Central Virginia?

4) Has anyone driven a particularly long way (i.e. another state) to buy a
Z4?

I would appreciate your help with this as I am trying to have a reasonable
expectation when I show up at a dealership ready to buy.

Thanks,

Neil
