When I bought my E90 in 2005, I could not get any reduction in the price at launch, however I was given a very reasonable trade in, fixed for 4 months. This time around, things are somewhat different, so the dealers will give a reduction on the new F30. I will sell my E90 privately.

As for servicing - and if you mean routine maintenance, Southern BM is where I take my car. Much, much cheaper than the dealer and they do a first class job. As for warranty service for the F30, the dealer is where I'm heading to.

I purchased my E36 in 1992, E46 in 1998, E90 in 2005 and F30 in 2012, all from BiB Stillwell BMW in South Yarra.

What about yourself?

Seems like you got pretty good relationship with the dealer there I will definitely keep those discounts in mind.. I have been going to both the Kingsway BMW as well as the BMW Melbourne which is in Southbank. A couple of my colleagues recommended me to their Southbank outlet as it was abit more personal feel to it, so I placed an order with them for the F30 M Sport.. my mate who bought the X1 just last November got like roughly 8% off.. So I'll be working with those percentages...

I like the specs or your 328 M Sport! I still can't decide on Mineral White or Grey =/ I'm told i got time to decide before production actually starts.

Hi, thank you for starting this post, Sephanite that is a great price, I have been to one dealer in sydney and they were not prepared to move on list price.

Was that price on standard or with a package option, and as asked already do you know the initial price.

Find another dealer mate.. I even managed to get a dealer to give me a corporate rate. Perhaps he didn't think you were serious on buying yet. They will offer you a good deal the minute you're ready to deal.

i got the sports line. Initial price was just under 91k (i think 90800 or something like that) from most dealers and one gave me 86k. I think he gave a cheaper price from the start to try to get my business. I am sure better deals will come after July

Hi David, are you able to share the price you achieved. I guess it was given subject to M sport price when it is released. I am unsure if I should pay a deposit and wait for the m sport price when it is released. I am hearing it will be $5k. I have been getting quotes on a 328i with a sports pack. This wil be my first BMW.

Thanks.

No price for the reason you gave above. Not only that, but M-Sport cars cannot be ordered yet! The speculation surrounding M-Sport package price varies from as little as $5k to as much as $9k. Please note that this is for the Australian specced M-Sport. They do differ somewhat from country to country, so anyone from another country, please take our price with a grain of salt.

In fact, until we are officially told, we should all do the same.

Dealer emailed me today and he's expecting prices and details to be released to them end of April/early May. But I doubt the deposit will be alot, I paid 500 bucks.

Hi guys, today I was quoted $5700 for the M Sports pack. Do you think the dealer is hedging his bets to close the deal. Has anyone else been quoted a price.

Ya I think so. I've been in contact with the dealer he said official prices will be announced some time next month. Having said that I have put in a deposit to secure a production spot but able to pull out if I'm not happy with pricing.

5k is probably based on other models M Sport packs that's what they're going by best guess
