Do everything in person after sending emails or calling to introduce yourself and tell them what you are looking for. Maybe they have the exact car you want on the lot. Most dealers don't reply to emails with detailed offers, since they get so many.

Ask for a reference for a good CA from friends. Don't just walk in and find someone free.

Never tell them a price you will pay up front. Tell them you are a m3post member and you have the invoice and MSRP pricing. Ask how much over Invoice they are sell M3's for. Then start from Invoice and go up a little $500-2500 max. Markup on an M3 is 9% and options are marked up 10%.

Good luck....It is a Buyer's //M market. See how many unsold M3's they have in the lot and ask how many M3's that CA sold recently. If they say none...they are desperate for your business to move M3's.
