Thanks guys for all the insightful information. I?m definitely going to try to be the first person in Austin with the 550. I?m probably going to just bend and buy from Bmw of Austin. The convenience of it being located 10minutes from my house will out weigh the extra markup. So guess ill be hanging out here for the next 2 months patiently waiting. When do you guys recommend putting down a deposit?
I?m going for black and auburn or the dark carbon grey and auburn
Thing is to this day I've never driven a Bmw. I've always said the first one i drive will be my own.

Black is beautiful, but wash it twice a week
The Auburn interior is really nice!

Actually theyre the only BMW dealer in my area...thanks for the reply.
If there is not a BMW dealer in your area.... I suggest you find the next closest one, and call them.
I can tell you from experience that a BMW dealership HATES to lose business to an out of town dealership. And they ALWAYS find out. BMW dealers are all able to see who from their town has bought cars elsewhere.
For example. When I lived in SC, we tried to buy a BMW in Charleston. They would not budge on the price. So we called the next closest dealer in Hilton Head. They offered us the same car for almost $5,000 less. So we made the 2 hour drive to get the car the very next day.
This is among the highest insults to a dealership, and they take it very seriously. If a customer is willing to drive 2 hours to buy the same car elsewhere, when they could drive 15 minutes and do it... then that dealership has major problems. And BMWNA also takes notice of this, and will remember it when it comes time to consider vehicle allocations and such.
So I would suggest you do some comparison shopping.... and then tell your local dealer you've been talking to others. They will be more likely to move on their pricing if they sense a sale being lost to another dealer.... because the future implications of a lost sale can be more hurtful than a small concession on a sales price.
