    This site seems almost too cheap...what's the catch? For thirty dollars a month, it seems like a no-brainer. Has anyone on here used it or know people that have used it? My dad is trying to get the best deal possible on a new BMW 328i Coupe, this place looks like it would be able to stay within the budget...the testimonials eased my mind a little, but I'm still sceptical.

    The catch is that they're making money from the dealerships they steer you toward. I don't trust any business like this that takes money from the dealerships. You, as a customer, should pay for 100% of the service. That way you know that there is no other factor influencing the company to direct you to one dealership over another.

    He'd like to keep costs down as much as possible, somewhere around the current BMW offer of 459 a month, but with leather and sport package.

    That's probably not going to happen, so he's also considering the previous model (E46 325ci) from 2005 or 2006 with under 15k miles, with sports package and xenon's. For that he's probably like to see under $33,000 advertised, paying under 400 a month for a lease.

    Also, does anyone have any comments about the E90 vs. E46 idea? In my opinion, the E46 looks a lot better, and will probably be more reliable, last model year vs. the first.

    he should get what he likes (that is within his budget). The thing about bmws is that the so called 'first year' cars are really second year. BMW releases the cars in europe first, fixes any problems/makes improvement, then next year they come to the usa.


    at least that is what I've been told.
