....but I'm willing to bet the guys on this sight that have had multiple BMWs in the past haven't had the same salesman either.....
Car # 16 comining up in November 
Can't speak from the others, but I have found the value of buying from the same dealer over and over and over and over and over again..

That being the case, you will be blowing gasket for the next 4 yrs because BMWNA as a policy ONLY offers the "M-Sports Package" on the final production year of the model. Regardless of the fact everyone else in the world (incld. Canada) is capable of getting.

hmm, dont know about that, i know the sport package came out for the E46 several years before the end of its model end, we'll just wait and see a bit more

speedbird0288,
The sales agent is trying to pull a fast on you.
Go to Bimmerfest.com and look under ED forum for a ton of info.
You'll get the scoop on travel info for ED, Invoice, ED favorite dealers, etc....

My Ride: 2006 550i SMG
RHNORB and BEEWANG, I may stand corrected in that I'm finally driving a marque that sales people stick around...at least in the Northwest. Here in SoCal, for the most part, they move from dealer to dealer and make to make.

I placed my order the day after yours for a loaded 550 ED. My dealer gave me $1000 over ED Invoice (not MSRP) with no negotiation. I pulled out the cost sheet, compared numbers and placed the order. We are trying to get a delivery date firmed up but they gave me the order sheet and I am Priority 1 and have a build number. Push back hard or go to another dealer.

:'(? Like a few others here I placed an order for a 550i with SMG and was later told of the transmission and Euro delivery problems.? I told my dealer to keep my deposit while I ponder my options.? Buy and '05 545 if I can find one; wait for the 550; look at Infinit, Lexus alternatives.? Plus, my dealer worked up the numbers on the 550 and Euro delivery.? They quoted me the full Euro Retail and I asked about a discount for being a repeat customer.? To which the reply was "Oh, we don't make hardly any profit on the euro delivery cars....we only process paperwork and collect a small fee."? After looking at the "confidential" wholesale price list....I wonder how much truth there is in that statement.? I hate being taken advantage of and was wondering if any others have been told the same thing.
Totally frustrated here!!!!!!!
