At this stage of the game for the E60 launch, unless you had MSRP pricing locked down already, you were looking at long waits and/or premiums over MSRP for the first 6 months or so of deliveries. BMW of SF always led the pack, asking $25K over. Others were $5K-10K over (or had LOONG waiting lists if selling at MSRP). I think it was 12-18 months before below MSRP deals were common in strong markets / big cities (although I am sure some good deals happened in isolated cases).
That said, it was 2005/06, so economy was a lot better....
