£2.25K off my list price. I told the dealer what I was prepared to pay by email after I had made up my mind on spec and ready to hand over a card number. That's the only way, as per the comments above. You must be ready to commit but also know what you want to pay. I did try about 6 dealers, some said no, some offer a bit, but I got my deal done with one phone call in 5 minutes. note, I did not buy from my nearest dealer.

I dont expect to get bumped up the waiting list though, others at list price will probably get that benefit from cancelations from those who give up the wait.

You also need to know that BMW can increase the price at any time and you have to pay, or cancel the order and buy a Q5. The risk of this is greater the longer the wait for production. I am not sure at what point it becomes too late for BMW to increase the price in the waiting cycle though.
