I make a deal with the Internet Sales Manger in a Los Angeles dealership for $1200 over invoice on a custom order 335i. I take the qoute home, do the math, and his price comes up $1760 over dealer invoice, $560 more than he promised. Additionally, it looks like they are trying to hide an additional $100 bucks on top of my registration. Very frustrating as this is the second qoute in as many days with the bait and switch.  Anyway, I am not going to settle for anything but the deal I was promised. Assuming I get it, is $1,200 over TRUE dealer invoice, is that a good deal? Thanks - would love to hear from anyone in the know and especially BMW sales people on this. |

What's MACO? Is the MACO and training fee waived for stubborn buyers?

Centers have no control over being invoiced for MACO or training fee. And if you looked up the wholesale/retail sheets, you'll see plainly that BMW does indeed bill for training fee.
MACO is basically BMW billing centers for marketing and advertising in various markets. Again, it's a hard fee and not removable from the invoice. And, no, TDT, I will not shove the MACO or training fee anywhere. It goes to BMW whether anyone likes it or not.

Doing my research, the MACO and training fees are ligit. I renegotiated my deal to $1000 over invoice with floor mats plus the $560 MACO/Training fee.
I got one offer after the deal from another dealer for $800 over invoice, but it wasn't worth hassel for the $200 at that point to cancel my order and start over.
I am very pleased with the deal I have at this point.
