$1500 Dealer Markup above MSRP?

John Shafer,

Any comments? A BMW Center in Northern California is adding an additional $1500 above the MSRP to all E46's. I was told that this surcharge is the result of increased demand. I guess that I will be making a call to Franco and traveling to Santa Barbara for our next BMW purchase.

Is this the only BMW Center with this dealer mark up?

"rizzoed"? whats that mean?
Rizzo method isn't a bad way to go. I've done it in the past long before I can remember someone calling it Rizzo.

This time, I just found a good price that was ~$1500 over invoice from an online leasing company and presented it to the sales rep. He had a choice. Match the price or I walk. After many tries by him and his GSM to convince me otherwise, I walked out of the dealership. Just as I was closing the door to my car the sales rep came running to me and matched the price.

If I had the opportunity I would have gone the Rizzo method. At the moment, I just didn't have the time.
