Who did you use at Passport ? Invoice + $99 is pretty good...

a couple things to note...va dealers tend to have much higher processing fees -- generally $399 vs. $99 at most md dealers...also, if you're interested in bmw select, for some weird reason va dealers can't offer the promotional apr's, but md dealers can (regardless of where you're titling the car)...so back in april/may that would have meant 5.9% in va vs 2.9% in md (again, this only applies to the bmw select program, but if that's something you're considering, va dealers are pretty much out of the question)...
your biggest problem on an e90 order at this point might be allocation...back in april/early may, every local dealer seemed to be working from the same allocation pool, which at that point i believe was 6 total (and i don't think every dealer has access to all 6)...i'm not sure where allocations stand now, but the clock is def ticking big time...good luck!
