I live in CA. I ordered a 35d recently. I'd recommend that you don't go in. Get a list of your local dealers from bmwusa.com, then email them all with a precise offer. Others including myself have been able to do $1k-$1.5k over invoice. No reason you couldn't. Make sure you state that you need a build # (if you want to order a particular spec.) Doing this lets the dealer know that they can't mess around with you. I was getting the runaround but this approach finally worked. Good luck.
