You should look here for information on dealer cost. You should be able to easily buy for list price (what you get on BMWUSA's website) but you also should be able to buy for less than that. Something like $500 to $1000 over dealer cost. You may have to visit several dealers (by internet or in person) to get that sort of price. If you buy new, you may also want to consider European delivery (sort of like a BMW paid vacation to Europe to drive your first miles on your bimmer) and Performance Center delivery (your car is sent to the BMW performance center in Greer, SC and BMW puts you up at the Greenville Marriott, buys you dinner and breakfast, and gives you a little track time on delivery day). Not all dealers do European delivery. Any dealer can do PC delivery, however. European delivery isn't the normal deal for the dealer. The dealer makes the margin over the lower European invoice cost that you negotiate with them but they do not get the incentive payments they normally get based upon how many cars they sell. PC delivery costs the dealer nothing however.
Good Luck.
