now starts at over $40K, at what price to people cross-shop the 335i?

 

It comes standard with navigation that's why. It is supposed to be comparable to the 335 yes.

 

We shopped the 335i against our G before we bought it. Adding all the same options to the 335i, apples for apples, put it at roughly $10,000 above the G.

 

Keep in mind that discounting has had a big effect on recent G37 prices. You shouldn't have to pay anywhere near 41k as long as the market remains weak.

 

if you add all the options to both cars the bmw is a crazy amount more...

 

I would give up nav for the blown 3.5. I'm actually hoping to get a 2011 G37S for about $37K.

 

It's hard to cross shop the 335i because of the massive price difference when similarly equipped. As stated above, it's roughly $10k.

On the flip side of that, it's easier to sell or trade a BMW even if it's not equipped with nearly all options, as opposed to the G37, or any other car for that matter.

 

In April, bought a 2010 G37S 6MT sedan with Navi for $37K.

 

Did you use any service like Costco, AAA, AMEX, etc? I believe the overall difference in price is nav + $150 so I would be willing to pay $37,150.

The GM of the dealership has offered us a good price since my brother knows the owner.

 

Through USAA, the sport with NAVI is $35,059.

 

when was the last time someone here actually paid MSRP for a car anyways?

 

No one said anything about paying MSRP but it does have direct bearing on the invoice/sale price. Maybe you guys sell all cars for $35K regardless of MSRP.

 

2002- when my pre-order 350Z came in.

 

I picked up my 2010 G37S 6MT w/navigation back in February for $500 under invoice.

 

I bought my 2010 G37S just this past Sept for 36K with nissan trade in. great deal and great 1.9% interest rate right before the 2011 hit the lot. Cant complain. BMW was 10K more and not enough leg room (I'm 6'3") or trunk space (I have a family).
