Living in the Bay Area California, doesn't help. There is so much money here, that local dealers had evolved to perfect pigs, asking $20-$25 over invoice, and the wait is over a year...
I decided to find a car somewhere else around the country. I started looking a month ago, by sending Emails to every BMW dealer in the country who had a web site/Email.
I gotn many responces reanging from "yeah right!", to "10K deposit and 10k over MSRP"...
One dealer from New Jersey, said he'll do his best, and asked for a deposit. A month later (yesterday) he called with the good news, he has an allocation, and we can submit it tomorrow (Monday).... Then 3-4 months wait and I'll have: a 2001 M5 Titanium/SPORT/Silverstone with every thing on it, delivered to a delership here (i'll pay prep fees to the local dealer)...
I can't wait to tell Allison BMW to give me back my deposit.... And they can take the $25K-over-list, and shove it where the sun don't shine...
I'll keep you posted...
