I've tried to hold out as long as I can for the 550, but am getting the itch and looking at a 545i. What is a reasonable offer?
I've been reading the boards and have seen $1500 over invoice as being reasonable, with some mentions of $1500 over ED invoice. Is it reasonable to offer $1500 over ED invoice on existing inventory?
Also, I plan on purchasing, not leasing. Thanks in advance for the feedback!

My Ride: 2004 545i - 6 speed manual (July 04 build), silver-grey/black, sports package std equipment (18", active roll, active steering, adaptive headlights), premium sound, bluetooth enabled, folding rear seat, lumbar, 3m hood/bumper protective film, rear tint, euro reflectors.
Toward the end of the 2004 model year, 4% over invoice seemed to be the norm in my area ($2500). At this time, 545is where not overly abundant and the dealers could get more 525/530's and would deal more on them.
With the 550 on the horizon, I would think they would be very eager to deal. Any 545i sitting on the lot when the 550 comes in will be hard to sell without a significant discount.

Someone posted that they got $1000 over invoice using Costco's car purchasing program. It might be worth investigating that option.

Given that the 550i will be produced starting September/October, I don't think $1,000 over invoice is that aggressive...I got my 545i in January for $1,000 over invoice...
Unfortunately, purchasing (vs. leasing) doesn't help you with price negotiation, since you've taken away one of the most profitable parts of the transaction.
