Markups depend on the time, the dealer and the area. Some markup hot models like the M3 as long as they can. Some dealers have an official no mark up policy. Many So. Cal. dealers got between $5k-$15k over MSRP for the E46 M3 for a number of months after the car was available. Some dealers will get $20k for the new M from some desperate (and silly) folks who must have the car "now" without having planned in advance. Definitely call around. I had to call about a dozen dealers around So. Cal. to find a reasonable spot (I got #5) guranteed at MSRP for $1k deposit. PM me if you want my dealer info. they should have spots <#10, which would be a car fairly soon but not immediately on release. Good luck.
