FWIW: If you join the BMW Club of America for 1 year, you get a discount of $500 on a 3 series, $1000 on a 5 series, etc. Membership fee is $35 a year and you get a publication and some discounts on service.</font>
Just to clarify this. You have to be a fully paid member of the BMWCCA for a full year (365 days) before you're eligible for the "rebate" discount. (it is sent back to you in the mail after submitting a form.) Rebate is also available for used cars ($500) and other models up to the 5 series (including X5). Parts and service discount is 10% at participating dealers.
