i think the 1-series is the perfect comprimise between a really low coupe like a Z4c and a bloated coupe like the 3-series. Last edited by IEDEI; 08-21-2013 at 10:17 PM.. |

My local dealer is about 10 minutes away, but the PCD option sounded like a great way to spend a few days... and my wife was onboard immediately ("Hmmm... that might be fun!")... so off to GSP next week we go!!!

The second time I heard this was just few days ago when I inquired about a 135is. I actually was looking to pick up parts for a water pump job but realized I had come to the wrong location. First time at this dealer (went during my lunch break at work) and apparently sales and service are 2 different locations. After a CA clarified where the other location was, he saw me checking out a 135i in their showroom. When he asked if I wanted to take it out for a test drive, I told him it was alright because I already knew the way this car was optioned it'd be out of my range. He then interrupted me and his exact words were "take msrp and multiply it 0.93 and that's what I'll give you..." Maybe a salesman sees you walk in and pushes mrsp right off the bat but that has not been the case for me. And fwiw, I'm getting 7.4% before August incentives and that was first and best price offered to me, no haggling or going back and forth. |

And learn to read, where do you see 10%? I said it seems some have been able to negotiate as much as 10% in my first post but I said 7% is the expected norm assuming the car is not a first year model, ie 4-series. Last edited by 3002 tii; 08-25-2013 at 11:31 PM.. |

Ian: maybe your market is different where you live...but I got about 7% on my order without even really negotiating! maybe it's an east coast aggressiveness thing? lol

Wow you really can't read. If you think the 135is a new model, you're an idiot. The only reason a 135is was offered is because the 135i is in the final year of production so they slap on the extra performance parts to run down their current stock and incentivize buyers. The car's been in production for how long? The 4-series on the other hand is current example of a first year model. Plenty of threads here about folks getting 7% off if not more. If you got less, and you believed that your deal was "best available", that's unfortunate but I could care less. And the truth is none of this has to do with my original post. So unless you have something to contribute of value, feel free to create a new thread "why did I get a bad deal?" Last edited by 3002 tii; 08-24-2013 at 09:11 PM.. |

I laughed at the ca's who tried to convince me the "is" is some new rare car that would command a premium. That was after I knew I could get at least 7% off.
Nice meeting you today, dsc-off! Hope it all works out for you Monday.

i do think the 'is' is special in its own way....it's a last hurrah to a wonderful car and the end of an era of BMW, IMO......that being said, i don't think there's enough demand for it to justify anything more than a solid discount upon sale!
you NJ guys-----we gotta organize a good NYC/NJ meet up sometime later this autumn! maybe a nice drive or something. |

Turns out AW on CR sold on Friday. So at the moment I'm going to go for the 135is and if that falls through for whatever reason I'll go for the carbon black 135i. |

Elwood (Mike) also had his out there, but he's also got an E30 track car, so the 1 was bound to feel, well, worse. I'm not going to get into the game of making it a track car; I've done that before and have regretted it. When the RF's die, I'll get better summer tires. Next time out, I might opt for different brake pads. It's too slippery a slope to keep going... The best testament I have for the car on track is how smitten my instructor was with it. He's very experienced and has had all levels of street and track cars; he loved the "is." His quote was, "Well, you bought the right car! What else can you get new from BMW right now that feels and goes like this on the track!? Nothing!" PCA!? Blaspheme! I'm looking at 10/13-14 with NJCCA. No club race so lots more track time. I told myself three years ago I wouldn't do this delval august event ever again. So much for that...heheheh. Glad I went, though. Also glad the car is in one piece!

I said the same thing on Saturday but Sunday was much better. I actually managed to get some clean laps in on Sunday, best time of the day was a 1:19 flat. I'm really curious how the IS would stack against my Z4 in stock trim with the exception of square 245's and -1.5* camber up front. Last edited by 3002 tii; 08-30-2013 at 07:54 PM.. |

I think if the IS had a square setup and camber, it would be ridiculous. Great video!
