BMWNA - $1500 >> You should get this from your dealer Edmunds - $1500 (valid for me until jun6) >> When you brows around on the edmunds site looking for similar cars in this price range the coupon pops up. I dont know if it does any more or not. Its just luck I guess.
Team Drive - $1000 starting may 29th >> If you signed up for the BMW 3 series Team Drive event and participate you will get a coupon for $1k
BMWCCA - $1000 >> Join the BMWCCA (http://www.bmwcca.org/vehicle_rebate)
The 2013 model should arrive in the US around late July~ Aug time frame. You should see some more wiggle room with cars you find in the dealer lot for 2012. One of my friends got a 3 series 1k below invoice during this time last year. It maybe a different story for a 5 series, I dont really know. But overall you should be able to get a better discount than what you can get currently MSRP to Invoice. Its a personal call i guess, since you are limiting your selection to whats left over on the lot. My train of thought is its not worth the 1k you save when ur left over with an ugly ducking that no one wanted (the 2012 model) unless its spec'd out the exact way you want.

You have to be a member of BMWCCA for one full year, before getting club rebates... no exceptions..#3968 of 4028 2012 535xi by xbn983

Hello-New to the forum and spending time learning from previous posts. I am here doing my homework on a 2012 535xi with the following config:
2012 535xi
Black Metallic Paint
Dark Wood Trim
LCSW Black Dakota Leather
ZWC Cold Weather Package
ZMP M Sport Package
ZPP Premium Package
ZPS Premium Sound
ZTP Technology Package
6NR BMW Apps
Net Total = $66650.00
destination adds $895
The dealer has three of these now for about five months or more. Each of the three have very similar configurations; for example, one other has the addition of ceramic controls. I don't believe any of the three have been driven.
I have done some research at another website and it suggests a fair price is $62255. That is $4395 off, which translates to 6.6% off. However, I have read some other posts here which suggest they were given a larger discounted price. I am therefore beginning to think that I could potentially get this car for less since they have had these cars on the lot for 5 months and in a few months the 2013's should start to show up.
I have been patient with my car shopping and I am not impulsive. The dealer knows I am this way. I have talked about placing an order in the past because I am picky and the specific config listed above would be different if I did place an order. However, up to now I have not placed an order. After talking to the dealer again recently they suggested they would be willing to deal with me on one of the cars on their lot. I could try the path of looking into a deal on the config I listed above, but I don't know for certain yet if I am solid on that car. I'm just looking into what is a fair price on that car with the consideration the dealer has three of them now for a while and they may be willing to deal on one of them with me. So, what is a fair price for the config listed above?
Thanks!

Thank you kanchis for very helpful information. I am going to kick my self in the rear for allowing BMW CCA laps...
A couple follow up questions:
BMWNA $1,500 - is this same as financing credit? Cause that one expired at the end of April. I typically track them on Edmunds under incentives and rebates. Or is this a different one, and if so - where can it be tracked?
Edmunds $1,500 - was that when you click on BMW ad while browsing Edmunds, or something different?
Team Drive - just signed up for BMW Drive for Team USA and scheduled my drive with 5 series. There was no mention of $1,000. Did I do something wrong, or do I just need to ask after the drive?
Again - thanks so much for all the info!!!

Hi, Thanks a lot for your information. Do you mind if you can share a little bit more on where did you get the deal at? I'm currently looking for a 535i with similar packages you got and dealer quoted me an invoice price. But yours surely are 2000 bucks below invoice. I'm wondering if you could share some more information and perhaps any price sheet list so I may get some benefits too? Thank you so much!

This is from a dealer in Bay Area, CA. The invoice price seems to be bloated; other dealers in this area also quoted 57-58K. The purchase price included the 1500 option credit BMW is offering this month + contest credit or something. BTW - if you don't have an iPhone or not a fan of iSomething and has Android or other smart phones don't get the BMWApps if you can find a vehicle without it. The option only works with iPhone -- sucks to pay $250 for nothing.
