$500 over invoice price is pretty typical. You get the invoice price here on Edmunds. Usually it comes out to about 10% off msrp.

BMW will openly tell you their mark up is 8%. You will see this on other sites such as bmwconfig.com and nada.com when you 'build it'. Dealers will give you 8% off everything inc options and than deduct any rebates/incentives. Even if you don't drive a BMW already, mention the word Audi and they will throw in their '$750 loyalty cash'! Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't able to use some of the features to build the car on bmwconfig for some reason. I am still waiting for a response from other BMW dealers about their best price so I will keep you posted. So far, two have come back at 6% off being their bottom line so I will keep pushing.

One more thing, should I be looking at 8-10% off or $500 + invoice and then add MACO, destination & training or should that be included?

#2442 of 2444 Advice on Custom Order Process by mrygal

Hi. Can you give me some insight on the process? My main question is regarding the contract or negotiated sales price? We have settled on a price and I am getting ready to submit my deposit for the order. Do I need to have a contract signed confirming the price before giving them my deposit? I just want to be reassured that things won't change once it arrive and I go to make final payment on it. I think everything will be fine but there's just the slightly paranoid side of me that wants to know if I need a signed contract confirming the price. I have the emails settling on price.

For us, they ordered the car exactly as we wanted it without any deposit or signed contract, just a handshake. I'm sure that's the exception and not the rule. I would probably be more comfortable signing a contract with everything spelled out, even if they required a deposit. When our car arrived, they called us and we came in to pick it up. We signed everything and drove it away without paying a cent!
 
Our deal was $200 over invoice and $1800 holiday cash from BMW, so it was like getting the car for $1600 under invoice. They just applied the $1800 as our downpayment. We leased the car, which had the convenience, technology, and luxury seating packages, as well as the upgraded stereo and a spare tire.

The $750 Loyalty cash cant just be "thrown in". It is a rebate and you have to provide proof that you currently own a BMW to qualify for it and finance the vehicle through BMWFS
