What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW 1-Series
| Price of the BMW 1-Series: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
I pay $180 less a month on this lease than my previous MINI Cooper. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
The price is good forwhat you get. |
| Price of the BMW 1-Series: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
The standard features are lacking. Many cars costing half as much have more features than the 1-series. You can get better equipped cars for the same money with Infiniti (G37S) and Audi (TT-S, S4). |
| 2008 | 2dr Convertible 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Pricey, especially for convertible compared to coupe. Cost of auto-transmission silly compared to manuals -- and other autos. Early examples not offered with much discount from MSRP. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
When you add enough options you are approaching 3 series territory but still worth it |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Not cheap compared to Accord, Altima, etc. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW X3
| Price of the BMW X3: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Very expensive for few features. It will quickly be overtaken by other entrants who have leather, auto tailgates, fold up mirrors, bluetooth, cameras, etc. for less money than the base X3. Lose the metal key please. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Expensive for what you get, particularly when compared to other vehicles. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual AWD |
I believe the pricing is about 10% too high, especially when one considers adding options... also the dealer seems to have less margin to deal then other competitors (Lexus,Acura...etc...) |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The base price is reasonable, but adding options quickly pushes the price north of $45K. Depreciation has been very high, mainly because of it being an SUV having to battle high gas prices. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The Ultimate Bank Account Drain |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual AWD |
insanely expensive 20K more than Vue |
