I went to the delaer today and they have 2 white E55, one with pano, lightning package and premium package for msrp of 89K, he will take off 2500 bucks only, no keyless go.

this one does not have pano but has keyless go, parktronic, sunshades, premium package,lightning package, satelite radio, for msrp of 91k, he will take off 2500.
at this point I am leaning towards the pano roof eventhough there is no keyles go. Is this a good deal? the question is what would be better pano or keyless go, i really like the pano, please help!!

Can Drive 55

I can add this - I personally do not care for the pano roof, so I did not order it and I am very happy with my decision. On the other hand, I did order every other option, to the tune of $97k MSRP, and the keyless go is one of my favorite options, if not my most favorite. That is all just my personal opinion, but that is the way I feel about it. Early congrats on which ever one you decide on. I am sure you will love it.

Go with the keyless Go... definatly my favorite option as well. The only problem is when you get into a different car... You find yourself looking for the start button and cursing because you need to dig out a key.

I personally cant live w/out both options but if I have to choose one, I would loose the PANO and get the KeylessGO. This option is an absolute MUST IMHO!

jody420 check your pm.

Keyless go is way cool. I have a White 06 E55 with both options, but if I had to live without one, it would be the Pano roof. Also, there are better deals out there! You just have to search hard!

V12Godspeed

Thank you guys for your wonderful ideas, and thoughts...I will have to wait to get both options then, i can't see myself without any of them neither, specially since I bought some black HRE's 840, it would look sick with the pano roof.

I have both options and really like the way the black pano glass looks against a light colored car, and the keyless is great.

Keyuless go for sure. My pano roof looks great but it has a squeek that drives me nuts. Good luck.

i'm I missing something? 2500 is really not a big discount.

Back when the lease special was going on, you were seeing 4 to 6k off ...

they really want to get the e55's out to make room for the E63.

You should take atleast 4k off, if not walk away.

abalto

You should be getting $6-$8k off, at the very least.

I have both and I hate the Pano roof it is a waste of money. get the keyless!

What about the dude who bought his '06 E55 for $62500?

Keyless go is the best option I have ever had on a car. I can't tell you how cool it is to be a chick and not dig in your purse for the keys! I know you don't have a purse, but it's well worth the money.

JohnAMG

Get both options if you can. But if you have to choose one, then the keyless go is a must have IMHO. Oh, don't forget the trunk closer too.

I am that dude...and it was an '05.

Whoever pays even close to sticker (for anything) should have their head examined.

The real deals are on a left over '05 or wait a few months and steal an '06.

Jody,

1) I had to make a similar (tough) choice. I probably would have taken the Pano and not the Keyless Go, before I bought my car. But the car/deal I found had everything, but Pano.

2) I LOVE the Keyless Go. I origninally thought of it as a silly extravagence, but there are som many many times I approach my car with my hands full etc. that feature ahs become a must have for me going forward.

3) I wanted the Pano for the kids, but really, it is a backseat moonroof. If it opened into a sunroof and made the car more into a convertible...now, that would be amazing.

4) The kids love the car and all the kool features, including the Keyless Go and the trunk closer.

Obviously, I side with most other here in saying the Keyless Go > Pano.

Otherwise, you are getting a terrible deal. I think your dealer knows you want white. You have four choices: (i) pay the asking price; (ii) say no, and ask for a better price; (iii) be more flexible on the color and save an esy $3-4K; or (iv) be more flexible on your dealer and even year and save $8-12+K.

It's all a win-win. Bottom line: get one of these cars ebfore they disappear and have fun!

SoxFan

Also, if you are leasing, you might as well wait until next month to see if the deal gets better...it can't get much worse.

DarkStar

Pano and keyless are both great options. With that said, I have both and they both have their "quirks". Pano has nice looks on a light colored car as well.

must agree there

This is great advice from all of you. The delaer called me today and i told them I wanted at least 4 to 5K off, because the E63 is right on the door, he played tough so I walked on him.

I received an E-mail from Amir supposedly a broker that helped a few people in the forum get cars, he is looking into a left over 05 with keyless go and pano, he will get back to me tomorrow, he mentioned at least 10K or more off the MSRP, does this sound good?

Thanks,
J

RJC

I think you mean Amil, if so he will get a you a great deal, he was able to get me $8k off the MSRP of my 06 plus the special MBUSA money factor a few months back.

V12Godspeed

Correct, sorry his name is Amil, and he sounds pretty honest, if he got you 8k off MSRP on an 06 he will do mighty well on an 05 I hope, Great!!!

RJC

If you can, go for an 06, he also has a great dealer contact in your area (I see u r from NY).

jangy

Good luck in your hunt. get it loaded. I didn't get pano since I'm not a big fan of the moonroof look. It does look pretty sweet on a light car and I would have had to get it for looks alone, had I gone white.

Dude, get a better deal than that. I dunno about your area , but you can pretty much get $5k - $8K off any E55 in stock in California without much asking.
