I paid about $750 over invoice at BMW of Alexandria. They were very easy to deal with and didn't apply any pressure tactics. I was in and out in just over an hour without having to barter or screw around. Talk to Molly - she is quite helpful!

Just ordered mine last night here in Seattle. Best I could do was $1250 over invoice. Seems fair enough though. You did great though, enjoy the extra cost savings w/ some upgrades in the future :0

Just found out last night that it's already in production. Ordered on 28 Jan, started production on Feb 2nd, and is expected to be complete by the 10th. My CA tells me that it should be here by the end of the month or the first week of March.
Much quicker than expected for this whole process! |

My car got to the dealership last night - picking her up in one hour!
Strangely, my '09 has been driving like a champ lately and I'm actually really going to miss her. After taking that CAI out, it actually drives a whole lot better (wish I had never put it in). Anyway, will post pics ASAP!

Thanks everybody! I LOVE it so far!
I was able to snap a couple of pics on my iPhone before pulling into the garage - not a full on photo shoot yet, but will definitely add some more later. There is a difference in the brake feel, but I chalk that up to needing to get broken in and it will improve. But that is a temporary grievence, everything else is great! The throttle response in sport is fantastic (hard to keep it under 4500 rpm!!) and the steering feel, while slightly different than the e90, is well-weighted and responsive in the corners. Overall I am very pleased with the driving dynamics after the 25 miles or so I have driven so far. There are some great back roads for carving on my way to work, so I've given it a pretty good quick test.
