Hi folks, I searched but didn't find anything so was hoping you can help me with what I can expect to pay for a new 06 325xi w.the below specs. Not so much even for this model (as I may go up to a 5-series), but in general.
It's been my experience w.American cars anyway that I can expect ~10% below MSRP. Is that realistic for BMWs? Thanks kindly for any input/advice/caveats/etc. you can provide in my BMW-shopping experience. Just don't want to feel, as none of us do, that I'm getting a reacharound on this purchase!
