"I guess that begs the question of why throw away your bargaining power when the dealer knows you're not going to walk away from the car."
First question: why are you really asking this question?
If you want something bad enough, does a few grand really make a difference? If it does, then the process is not for you. Had I not placed a deposit, I already miss the first build shipment meaning I would be AT LEAST 3 months away after release to get in one. If I test drive one and don't like it, I have $1000 to spend somewhere else. Pretty easy really. Your buying power without waiting is not substantially more, BMW's sell themselves. If I walk away, they won't be begging me back in the door--someone else is already waiting for that salesperson and may purchase.
