    Hi

    I am looking to buy a new BMW 520 for Jan delivery.
    I read originally that the auto version was €43,964. However I went to 2 bmw dealers over the weekend and both quoted €46K as list with cash discount of €1K

    Anyone know what I should be paying on this> just want to make sure I'm not paying over the odds.

    Thanks in advance

    If €46k includes delivery and metallic, then that's about right. €1,000 discount is pretty damn good considering there isn't a huge margin on BMW's and there is still high demand for the 520d.

    Personally, I'd add the USB Interface (€304) and the Sports Steering Wheel (€163), then upgrade to the Sports Auto box as it's only an extra €200 if you've already specified the Sports Steering wheel..

    I bought one of these in June and got 1000euro discount which seems standard although some have gotten more.
    Would agree with R.O.R. re. extras.
    It is a super car overall and seems to be selling well. My dealer told me that he couldn't get them quickly enough.

    i fancy one of these myself fencer,
    i was in one the other day very well equipped only thing over auto and sports steering wheel that i would suggest would be 18"alloys, the 16"looked pathetic,
    expensive option i think about 1800e.
    are ya buying st8 or trade in?

    Buying straight. Thats why I thought €1K discount was less than expected. Though from the other posts it looks like thats the best I will get!

    Would agree with post re. 18" alloys over standard wheels. Standard wheels not great looking.
    I got them and they are euro980.
    Some people advocate going to UK to buy as they reckon you will save but I don't know if this is correct also I would imagine an irish dealer would penalise you later in spite of the fact they were bringing cars in themselves at one stage in the "sterling collection".
