Buying E92-325Ci from PML - First timer

Re: Buying E92-325Ci from PML - First timer

PML always price the less popular but coveted cars at higher prices.
The 325ci same OMV as 523i and only slightly more than x3 2.5si and 325i but the prices are very different.
Look at the z4, OMV about the same as well but priced at $198.

Also, the $2,900 for the sound system gets you the hifi loudspeaker system I think (basically higher rated speakers and amp) and not the logic7 from Harman with the 2 subwoofers under the seats :-(

Hi
I visited PML today and they offered me 325 coupe for 183k. I just bought my 320i and wanted to trade in and get the 325 coupe. I am very much impressed after a coupe test drive. I bought the 320i for 134k ( bmw subsidy + bank cash back as well). Trade in value for my car is 116k offered by PML. Can I get a better trade in anywhere else. Advice pls. thanks.

The price depends on your loan amount etc as well. Trade in is always better elsewhere, but you could still negotiate

Bro,

how old is your 320i? You'll lose a lot more than just 134k - 116k because you need to pay back the rebates and also interest penalty of 20% of the total interest not paid. Painful....

Re: Buying E92-325Ci from PML - First timer

Its just 25 days old. If I exchange the car with PML, 20% interest penalty still applicable to me. paying back the cashback is ok for me.

Re: Buying E92-325Ci from PML - First timer

And most probably another 4-5k for interest penalty if your loan amount is close to 100k. That will be 22k-23k depreciation in less than a month!?! Wow....I don't think the 325CI deserve so much sacrifice lar..... that kind of money can buy many mods for your 320i.

Bro, were you really interested when they quoted you 183k for the 325Ci? They kept chasing me to commit before year end and said that 183k is a special price...blah, blah, blah.....nobody must know they have quoted me 183k..etc :screwedu: .... It turns out that every Tom, Dick and Harry (including muah) who walks in will also get 183k offer. What a bloody joke. I made them an offer 180k and was turned down.... looks like I'll never be able to buy a car from PML.

Hi Bro, mine is Sparkling Graphite with Jade Grey interior (same interior as BK Timah test drive coupe). I like the space grey because its unique and only available on the coupe but unfortunately they only have very limited interior choice. Will be collecting my ride in mid jan
