Anyone in SoCal doing better than invoice?

I am ordering a MY 2016 F31 for September ED. Getting invoice plus the ED discount, without any incentives. Anyone in SoCal getting a better price? I'm not going to change my order, but I think the dealer would apply additional incentives if I find them.

Thanks.

You are getting ED at the ED invoice? What else is there?

Incentives don't apply on ED vehicles.

That's news to me. I was told by two different dealers that they would apply cash incentives to my ED invoice.

I'm not complaining about my price. ED invoice is okay by me.

You are both correct. Some incentives apply to ED vehicles and some do not. For example the Holiday Cash from last Christmas applied to both. The USAA Credit Union incentive applies only to vehicles purchased for initial delivery in the U.S. BMW club incentive applies to both.

Pretty much. Since the car doesn't even have a production number yet it's pretty hard to get an incentive. They are still trying to sell 2015 models.

Like others have said he will try to get me any discounts that are offered. That's the downside for ordering a new model year.

I'm surprised. Multiple dealers here in SoCal offered me $1000 above invoice on special order cars (stateside, not ED). And two dealers offered invoice right off the bat on any model I was considering, which at the time included the M3.

I guess I'm lucky to be in a very competitive regional market.

I approached about a dozen BMW dealers from Santa Barbara to San Diego. South Bay BMW and BMW Riverside both came in at invoice. I can't remember who was at invoice first, but one gave a quote at 1000 above invoice on a special order, and the other matched right away.

I plan to buy an M3 or M4 in the next year or two, once I pass the F31 to my wife. And when I do, I will start with these two dealers.

Someone, somewhere.. posted a chart with MSRP and Invoice/Dealer price.
Anyone have that or can direct me to it?

Planning to purchase a 2016 435xi Convert but ED. Obviously, would love to get the lowest price possible. Money saved is money spent on other options!

Thanks

In my initial build, I checked almost every box, so I could tell you what ED invoice pricing is on most options. But this post by someone on the *other* message BMW board might be more helpful:

"Edmunds.com has all US invoice and MSRP prices for 2016 LCI.
For ED (and US) pricing, download "2016 3 Series sedan 328i and 340i pricing guide" on first page of this thread.

ED invoice = .93 * Base Euro Pick Up + .91 * Options US MRSP + $995 D&H.
Start negotiating up from there, for example offer ED Invoice+500."

I was pleased to find out yesterday that my car had been built and was on it's way on the Toscana . Currently it's in the Celtic Sea on it's way to Nova Scotia and then NYC on 8/5/15.
