I ordered a 135is (DSB, black leather/blue stitch, premium, HK sound, 6MT, but no tech). MSRP $48620, Truecar invoice $45355, Truecar average paid $46758. The agreed price was $47150 plus taxes/fees which brings the total to $51K and change. I am getting $750 loyalty rebate from there. I'm sure I'm paying a bit more than I should be but feel ok about it. This was going to just one dealer, with them accepting my initial offer (I knew at that point I should have offered less).

Next time around I'll do more online research up front and get quotes from various dealers via email etc. This order was somewhat unexpected as I thought I'd be able to get my current car fixed at a BMW shop in Miami, but it turned out that the repairs were going to cost about as much as the car is worth so I decided to drive on up to Fort Lauderdale that day and order a new one instead. My current car has intermittent low oil pressure and not sure how much longer it will last so wanted to go ahead and get a new one ordered quick.
