Just ordered...

2012 AW BMW 135i
Black Leatherette
AW Trim
M Sport Package

MSRP: $39,150
Invoice: $38,485
Sale: $38,875
-------------------
Total: $37,875 (after a $1000 sign and drive certificate)

I think I got a pretty good deal, I did get a lower price at another dealer ($38,553), however they are located an hour or so away as opposed to this dealer which is 5 min away. I felt that for the convenience and the fact that I would be servicing the car where I buy it from (preferential treatment) it was worth the price difference (~$350 after dealer fees)

I am in a pretty good position though because I only need to wait a month, then I am going to China on business for 24 days. So by the time I get back I should be fully prepared to take delivery.
