Well, today I made the final decision. I was going to purchase a 135is or 335is but the leases on M3 improved so much this month I could not resist.
Here is the deal I agreed upon today. I placed my order this morning and already received my production number.
MSPRP: $66,595
SELLING PRICE: $57,920
REBATE: $1500 (Holiday Cash)
TERM: 36 months
RATE: .00106 due to max MSDs
ACT FEE: $725
DOC FEE: $399
If I coundt the doc fee I am getting the M3 for $750 over invoice before the Holiday Cash. After Holiday cash I am paying around $750 below EU Invoice.
This was a long journey. The funny thing is I started looking at a 328i manual Sedan and worked my way up the BMW lineup because I could not find a car that fit all my needs. The 135is and 335is was close but the M3 is my dreamcar.
Here is what I am getting
2013 BMW M3 w/ 6spd Manual
300 Alpine White
4MY Carbon Leather interior Trim
NCH2 Fox Red Novillo Leather
Z19 Double Spoke (Style 219M) Satin Chrome finish M light alloy wheels

You don't actually have a date set up until its confirmed by the ED group. Have you gotten the confirmation email? I think I got it forwarded to me by my sales guy (don't remember)
Check out flights to London instead and then flights from London to Munich. You can typically save a couple hundred bucks this way and get to see another city as well.
Virgin Atlantic from Newark or JFK is a great flight
I can confirm that Welt is closed until January 6th. I confirmed this with BMW Euro Delivery when I placed my order. My pcikup date got set as January 16th!
Can you give some insight into the ability to strike your excellent deal, given that M's come out of dealer allocation? I was pleasantly surprised that your deal was so good, and would have expected more of a premium given allocations. For example, how you went about finding a dealer, did your dealer have additional allocation units they wanted to move, how pricing negotiations transpired? This may also help others as they try to get M's.

I adjusted my order yesterday. I saw Fox Red for the 1st time earlier this week. It was too orange for my liking. It wasn't as close to Coral Red and pictures online was a bit misleading. Since I'm no longer doing red inside I decided to do red outside!
My new build is
A75 Melbourne Red Metallic
771 Titanium Shadow trim
GEAT Anthracite & Black Cloth/Leather
Z59 19" Light alloy Y-spoke wheels style 359M-with performance tires
(19 x 9 front, 19 x 10 rear; 245/35 front and 265/35 rear performance tires)
494 Heated front seats

I decided not to pay extra for black leather. I do not like the way black leather feels in the summer (It BURNS!). It is a bit weird having cloth seats in a near 70K car. However, after seeing the interior in person I am actually impressed.
I (actually my friend) got an M3 with no option other than Comfort Access...after all the credits and 7MSDs, he is happy to walk away with an M3 for 36/30K below $500 per month California tax included
Second ED in April...Germany, here we come again :thumbup:

Wow chris..just seeing this now. Great deal! Actually thinking of doing this if I think I can get someone to take over my e92 335i lease with about 18 months to go at this point (got a great deal at the time with ED so low payments but with the F32 coming out soon it may be tough to find someone). That will also have the benefit of lining me up nicely for a 2 series Gran Coupe if that beast actually comes to fruition and isn't fugly.
I read through the thread, and apologize if this has already been covered:
-You're doing ED in January, and the car came out of the dealer allocation. Correct?
-Why did you need to pick it up in January? Aren't the incentives lockable 60 days from Dec 31st on the east coast or am I wrong? Then again, maybe you just wnted the car as soon as possible. If I did this, i'd want to use a west coast dealer, get a 90 day lock and pick it up in April.
-Does anyone know if December rates/incentives are any different?
