Hmm.. try that trick with a BMW dealer.. especially one in CA.. you'll be lucky if they'll sell to you at MSRP.. but there are other tricks to get discounts..
I fly to Munich Germany to pick up my BMWs and save about 7% over MSRP in the process.. Quick MR to MUC (8000 miles) drive up and down the autobahn at 130mph for a bit, drop off the car, fly home..

BMW does the rest
Try it folks its fun.. got my 330cic for 4k off list.. and It was one of the first 100 built.
