My Ride: 2011 E92 335i M-Sport 6MT
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I'm on Cloud 9! Today I cancelled my order at a Bay Area dealership after receiving a call from another dealer willing to go $1800 below MSRP for a new 550i. I've spent the past few weeks researching prices up and down California and I haven't found a place willing to go down that low. Southern California won't budge on price, nor will any dealership on the Central Coast. I found only a select few Bay Area dealerships willing to negotiate, so that's where I focused my search. My new dealership was willing to cut a deal on an M-Aero front bumper and clear-bra. The biggest selling point was that they were willing to get me Auburn leather which isn't available with Titanium Gray!
Best of all, I was informed that 6MT production will probably begin earlier than expected in mid to late September, so I may see my new baby in November instead of December!

And vern, thanks for letting me know that you can rate dealerships online. Didn't know that even existed!

Way to go, Roleez!
I've always believed in "voting" with your money -- A good Dealer definitely deserves your business, and should be rewarded accordingly.
I would very much appreciate it if you could please PM me with details on which dealer you decided to go with, and which ones didn't make the grade. The Dealership in the Bay Area that I went with offered $1,000 below MSRP for a 550i. I was in the market for a 530i however and got a good deal.
Cheers,
Tony
