Also realize that even though it is "invoice", there are still holdbacks built into the price. For example, my 2011 STI that i had before this, the sales manager admitted to me that included in invoice is a $3800 holdback for the selling dealership. Anything above invoice is just more profit for them. Of course, the holdback will likely vary based on model/price/etc but they are for sure there in any new car you buy.

Can i ask why you want to buy brand new and not consider a lightly used car? Especially with the BMW brand, there is a HUGE depreciation in the first 1-2 years of ownership, mainly associated with leases and the ebb-and-flow of lease returns IMO. I saved over 14k going with a 2year old car with 24k miles that fit my wants and needs exactly. If you can be patient and do some homework, you can get essentially the car you want with the options you want for 3/4 or even 2/3 the price you would have paid brand new.
