I've used UBS before (United Buying Service), and I'll either use Autobytel.com or Carsdirect.com for my '06 530i. These buying services (not brokers) generally have specific dealers you have to work through in your area. The one dealer in my area who works with these services is quoting $1380 over invoice on an '05. They claim not to have final pricing on '06 yet, but I expect it to be just as good.

The best part is that the dealers don't haggle, the price is what it is, you can order a car and not get hosed, etc... Also, the dealers have some skin in the game because these buying services poll you to see how you were treated. The dealers generally bend over backwards to make sure you're treated well.
