Discount when ordering the car? Z4MC

[OPTIMO]

I just ordered the wife a fully loaded 328i manual sport wagon w/M-aero and am now preparing for my car order. I know there are huge discounts to be had if I buy one of the lot, the problem is, I prefer to order my car. I test drove a Z4MC a few months ago and nothing I've driven since has put such a huge smile on my face, including 350Z, Cayman S, RX8, and a slew of others. I was really strongly considering a 135i but I'm once again waffling and going back to my, "I won't buy a non-M BMW" rule that I made when I purchased my E30 M3 (now sold) years ago.

What's the best discount anyone has received on an ordered Z4MC? I got 4% off MSRP of my ordered 328i plus a fantastic % finance rate, not sure what I can do with this car.

I plan on ordering an Alpine White.
Carbon Leather.

Premium Package (simply for the stereo and the auto-dimming)
Can I remove power seats w/memory? (I imagine manual seats are lighter and offer all the same features)
Navigation
HD Radio
BMW Assist w/Bluetooth


Can this be ordered with comfort access?
Is there an accessory brochure?
Is there an Ipod interface?

I remember comfort access and the Ipod used to be on the website when I was building out 07s.

I am going to wait until March to test drive a 135i and the Z4MC (again) back to back, but I wager the Z4MC will win.

I heard for the Internet Sales Manager at my dealer that they're offer around $3500 off on 2008 Z4 M coupes.

I doubt you'll be able to take out the power seats from the ZPP. Best bet would be to throw in a pair of Recaro seats once you get the car.
Comfort access is not available on the Z4.

As far as your questions go.

1. You can always remove the seats later for anything you want to put in there, but it's unlikely you'll be able to "customize" the premium package. I'm sure the dealer wouldn't mind ordering some new seats for you tho. haha

2. No comfort access on all Z models.

3. Yes. It's kinda difficult to find on the new website, but you're dealer should should be able to hook you up with a catalog.

4. Yes. You can get an OEM one, and there are a couple of aftermarket models out there too.

Nice! I know there are bigger discounts off dealer-sitting cars, but I want a virgin one, not one that has been raped by test drivers (like myself).

Now just waiting for the 135i to show up to a lot near me to make my final decision. I also need to get to 100% on AW as Interlagos and the red also look sporting. The wagon will be in sparkling graphite so no dark grays for me (also was the color of my E30 M3).

For deals, you'll be hard pressed to get a good deal on 08 soon. If you can find a new 07 with the options you like, you could swing about 10k off if you are armed with the right info.

Gratuitious shot of the wagon we ordered:

Don't all coupes come with the premium stereo?

[Dammmittt]

No. Available only with premium package.

Correction, you should be able to get 12-14K off. If you look some dealers are selling their '07 M Coupes for 12K off MSRP as it is listed, you could probably bargain a bit more.

If you order it do and American Delivery... I hear it is really cool going all the way to the East coast where it is made and.... yeah I'm full of shit.

Um, no, you're not. In the US BMW offers Performance Delivery, where you go to the factory and get a free day at the BMW Performance Driving school. They put you up at a hotel, provide meals, you tour the factory. You really didn't know this?

ummm, no. That actually is kind of cool...
