I am looking at purchasing a new M3 within the next month. I am pretty much set on the options I wouold like on the car (premium package, cold weather, xenon, premium sound, 6 spd).

I have driven the car and I really like it. What should I expect to pay for the vehicle? The invoice proce with the options I want is right around $49k, how close can I come to this price?

Thanks.

for 49k ur looking at just the leather interior. it cost alot to get options on the M. with ur options it may go into the 50s.

Some dealers are willing to negotiate. Mine MSRP'ed for $55,295 (Premium, SMG, Xenons, HK Sound) but I got it down to $52,500. I've read of other stories on the internet about $1K over invoice.

My car is a 6MT with Bi-Xenons, OEM 19's, Harmon Kardon, Premium Package and heated seats. Not sure what it stickered out at but I think I paid just under $51K. That was my 3rd BMW from Brahman in a years time though so they work with me a little more than usual.

thanks for the insight.

I have no problem paying a fair price for the vehicle, but at full MSRP the dealership is making about 12% on the vehicle, thats a bit ridiculous.

My first E46 M3 had SMG and I just didn't warm up to it. SMG is great under aggressive driving but I hated it under normal conditions. In addition to which I have yet to see any SMG cars run as fast as those with manual trannys.

i tend to prefer the manual as well. I drove a Z4 3.0 w/ the SMG and was not impressed. It was cool, but took away from the driving experience.

Also theres a new package for the 2005's... I don't recall the name at this very moment, but it includes 19" wheels, bigger brakes, suspension tweaks, and a few other tweaks and upgrades all for $3K.
