got to pay to play folks

dealers can charge what they want in a supply and demand economy. As someone earlier mentioned, having a BMW 1M is not a staple for life.

it might just be a good idea to wait and buy it used.

As much as I would love to get one, I have to say I will not buy it if the dealer wants to charge me over MSRP. I do have an order contract on which the dealer wrote MSRP (should now be ED MSRP in my case), so I hope they won't try to sleaze their way out of it...

If you have an agreed upon price and made a deposit a dealer cannot change the price to reflect current demand after the fact.

If you do not have a deal/deposit made you must pay what the market is asking or wait.

Capitalism. Period. The only system that works.

An "agreed upon price" does not equal a contract.

Thus....
