I'm looking to buy or lease an X5 35d in Canada in the next couple of months - any advice on what sort of deal I should be looking to get compared with the wholesale price and the MSRP? On the BMW.ca website the price seems to start at $62800 but as soon as you go to choose a colour $4900 of extras (ie Premium package) are added. Is there no way NOT to have the premium package?

Will be getting Nav, sports and executive packages plus running boards and that all adds up to $75500 with the 'compulsory' premium package.

Freight, adin, PDI, tire stewardship and air con tax, OMVIC transactio and PPSA on delivery add up to $2667 quoted by dealer, then other stuff to add on takes the cash due on delivery to $5861. Residual after 3 years 53%,

Thanks for any advice forum can offer.
