M5 ordered, June ED!!
Just placed an order for my M5, for ED in mid-June.
Monte Carlo Blue, Full Silverstone, Anthracite Bang & Olufsen 20" wheels Went to my dealer with pricing list from bmwconfig.com Got $2000 off Euro Delivery MSRP (ended up being slightly cheaper than US delivery invoice price). Waiting for order to go through and receive production number. Can't wait!!! |

First off congrats! I spent some time yesterday looking at M5s for my future order, and think you will love the car.
A question on ED pricing and negotiation.... the difference between ED MSRP and ED invoice for a similarly configured M5 is about $8k. Are you saying that you paid about $6k over ED invoice? For those that have done this, is this the norm? For other BMWs with higher rates of production you can negotiate down to $1-2K over Invoice. (heck, I got my 2013 3-series for under US Invoice, but readily acknowledge those are dime a dozen). I understand that when the car was newly released, there was limited stock or build dates available... but at this point there seems to be market saturation (went to the local dealer yesterday and they had like 8 M5s sitting on the lot), and CAs should be more negotiable -- especially for and ED, which is essentially a paperwork drill.

I was trading in so buying out of state, like in Atlanta just wasnt an option. I also like having a face to face with someone im buying a $100k car from. I ended up getting $3k in addition to the ED discount, and was more than happy, since they offered me more than I expected on my trade in. In the end, its what you want your sales experience to be. If you dont have a trade in and am willing to deal strictly over the phone, search the ED pricing threads and contact one of the dealers still willing to do 1-2k over invoice. The other thing for me was wanting to service the car at the dealership I bought at, have had issues in the past servicing at dealerships I did not buy at. And when talking 1-2k over invoice, im sure for some thats not inclusive of guzzler tax.

When you are getting an M5 that haggling over 1-2k more to squeeze the dealer seems a waste of time and effort, feel happy you had a reasonable deal for both parties and that you have a relationship with your dealer who does not consider you a cheap shot and will therefore give you better service. Currently there are a lot of unsold M5's in dealers and therefore limited allocations for M5, probably no more than 20 left in the US, so you will likely have to wait a bit more than usual until BMW releases more M5 allocations for confirmation unless your dealer has an allocation in hand. I am on that same boat. Still with 5 months to go you will not have a problem. When is your date for ED? I am getting my M5 in June 21.

My kids are 7 and 3. First trip away from them, so we want to maximize our experience in the short time we have. Scheduled for June 18 delivery. Will be staying at Villa d'Este at Lake Como, and Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo (I had to do this since I got the MCB color!!), with dropoff in Nice. Confirmed with car transporter that my car will go back to Germany by truck.

Thanks for the advice nybimmerfan. Where would you recommend staying in Nice? We will only be staying one night in Monte Carlo - would the Hotel de Paris not have adequate parking space if one stays as a guest of the hotel?
I would be open to a hotel in Nice if there is a really nice one equivalent to the Hotel de Paris (for my wife's sake that is...) |

BTW, most hotels in Nice and Monaco do not provide for free indoor parking for their guests. Most hotels charge private parking for Euro 8 - 13 per day; expect to pay Euro 35+/day for parking at the luxury hotels.
