I went to Allison BMW (Mountain View, CA) a while back, since it's near where I work. Much to my surprise, they had not one but two (!) titanium M5's on the showroom floor! I thought the closest salesman was going to have a sale on the spot until he told me they were selling them for MSRP + $25K. Well, that pretty much did it for me...at about 100G per I was out of the game.
The following weekend I was at East Bay BMW (Pleasanton, CA) talking to one of the salesman there about the disappointment over my experience. He told me they never charge a penny over MSRP for any car they order from the factory. Even an M5? Even an M5. I'm not sure exactly how long their wait list is, but it sounded like it would be less than a year out. You'd probably benefit from the fact that dot-commers on the Peninsula might not stray that far east.
Let me know how you fare. If it works out, you owe me a ride in your new M5 if you get yours before mine. :)

If you go with the M5, sell your place in line for the 4.6 on Ebay. You'd be amazed what people will pay for a high spot.
Do any of you know where in the US (Ill travel!) there are openings on the waitlist/availability at MSRP for delivery in the next 12 mos???? Local dealers are either full or asking 20k over...I am #3 for the new x5 4.6is at msrp....would rather get the M5 though....possible trade of places? Advice/help greatly appreciated!
