I looked at the same vehicles you did plus the Cadillac SRX. The BMW was the last vehicle I test drove and I knew in about 10 min it was the one. This was towards the end of July and after thinking about it I decided to wait until the 2012 models were out. I started working with my dealer at the end of August after getting a broker price as well. Initially he offered me $750 off MSRP. After I stopped laughing I told him I had a much better price through a broker but I wanted to keep my business local. Eventually he offered $2200 of MSRP but that was still to good enough for me. They refused to match by broker price and gave me a big line about how they were giving me their first 2012 allocation, etc. I ended up going through the broker (USAA if anyone has them) and got $3200 of MSRP. The process was very easy and worked out great. I am picking up my X3 at the Performance Delivery Center on Oct 31st.
