Situation somewhat similar in the southeast. Some dealerships (in Atlanta) are still charging a $3k plus premium whereas other dealerships in the area have cars available at MSRP or they claim to be able to deliver a specifically ordered car within 3-4 months. I would love to know what the real conditions are - it seems that the M5 is becoming much more available than the M3 (recognizing that the M3s market is much larger). Is this a warning in terms of resale value for buyers of 2002 or 2003 M5s?
