For 10k miles/yr, please add 3%. So the RESIDUAL for 12K is going to be 64%. That website is giving quotes for 15K miles and expects you to add 2% if you want 12k miles/yr

all fine cars, in their own way, but quite a bit different from each other. so the answer really depends on what is important to you.

If so, fine choice! in this group, I will say that driving them all is key.

Re: Acura TL vs Acura TL [robr2]

My point is that the consumers in this market slice have typically sneered at anything that didn't offer a 6 Could this just be the big marketing machine making people think that if it doesn't offer a bigger engine then it not a luxury car? It appears that both BMW and MB are slowly ditching their V12 engine in favor of a twin turbo V8. Ford took a big risk in ... Read More

BMWCCA rebate = $500 on the 3 series, must be a BMWCCA member for 1 year before purchase of car. Good on ED. Team USA Voucher - event held at most BMW dealers where participants get $1000 off any BMW purchased before Oct 31, 2012 (some until 2013). USAA Discount - varies but on leases/finances BMW is $1000 off. Some say you can combine with other discounts. I'll find out in ... Read More

Please elaborate on the "Team USA voucher" and 'BMWCCA rebate.' I'd like to know the amounts, eligibility, and timelines. I'd appreciate your providing the information because I've promised myself a BMW European delivery for years and I may finally get around to it this Christmas if the numbers work.

NYC - Actually, I wasn't impressed by the F30 at all. But my lease is up with my Mazda3 soon so I had little option. Another car must happen. Never liked my two e90s and one of them, a CPO, resulted in such a horrible outcome (hence the Mazda3) I left BMW for 3 years. C, G, IS, A4, TL are not viable cars for me from all my recent drives. ... Read More

I'm really just looking for the best deal out there. I think this is close to the best price I've seen in a while but once the 2013s come out in 8 weeks, I might be able to get a 2007 for the same price with the same equipment. Although, I have to say this has the sport-premium package with Nav, not easy to find at this price.... Also, I'm intrigued ... Read More

Run-flats: The newer replacement run-flats are reported to have a much better ride than the older OEM tires.. Plus, you can always switch to non-runflats, if they bother you.. '06 330i sedan.. The best naturally-aspirated inline six that BMW ever put into a non-M 3-series... and, it was only available on the '06 model! 255 HP... that's a plus, not a negative.. 2013 model... the older the car, the less the ...

there are many people who will say that the 2006 330 was the last of the "good" 3 series. Don't worry about the 2013's they wont effect the price as much as you think. Are you shopping for price or the best deal?

Hi All, I am considering purchasing a 2006 BMW 330i with Nav. It has 85K miles and seems to be in good condition. The guy is asking $13,250 as his last and final price. What do you guys think of the deal? My concerns: Run Flat Tires can cause for a bumpy ride The 335i came out a year later (2007) and might make resale of my 330i harder in the ... Read More
