Agreed and thanks for the tips. My biggest hurdle is that the dealer does know I want round 2 of the special order as round 1 is sitting on their floor given the lack of 3D view and Parking Assistant Plus. However, there are plenty of 2019s out there that have those features but primarily not my desire for full leather in Fiona/Black and B&W audio.

That said my biggest challenge is if I walk away from round 2 they officially get to keep my $2500 non-refundable deposit. I've already checked the legal statutes and unlike CA that is definitely enforceable in AZ. So the strategy as in any negotiation is a win-win for both parties. Hence, willing to get closer to a 6% discount (win for me) and continuing loyal customer to the deal whom will have all service done there well beyond the 3 year maintenance and worth more to them than the money from the sale (win for them).
In Michigan they do not but the dealer also does not want to lose your sale. Curiously is there any M8s out there you may want? Big discounts on HEA cars.

Would love a M8 but even at a great discount will still be likely to expnsive for my blood. Pardon the ignorance but what is HEA?
