I can't remember exactly, but I think I got 6 or 7% off MSRP. They still charge shipping and destination charges, but in exchange, you get an incredible experience in Spartanburg; factory tour, track time in another X5 with your engine, right seat time with a pro driver, hotel for a night, dinner, breakfast, and the fun of driving your new baby home. In my case it was to California. We took 3 weeks getting back.
I would do it again in a heartbeat. You just need not be in a rush. This way there is zero compromise. You get exactly what you want and nothing you don't want.
You should search Performance Center Delivery threads on this forum. All the info you need is there.
Go for it!

Hotels and meals are no longer included in the PCD. That’s not an expensive area although those hotels near the plant tend to stay booked. Uber and the hotel’s shuttle are your friends.
Big, big fun regardless!
One caution: doing the PCD will likely add a week or two to your wait time. They will not schedule your delivery until the car is in production thus the delay. Ours would have been delivered during that waiting time! Not a big deal - the experience was worth the wait.
