Dealer said I should be able to order in July for August Delivery
The 2018 they will not take any more orders
He claimed without BMW incentives he could price me at $500 below invoice.

The last I heard (end of March, when I placed my order for a 2018 M240i) the dealer told me the only information he had was that the 2019 would see a slight price bump.

With production starting in a few months, details should be available soon. I'm curious as well, as it seems I ordered one of the last 2018s (June production date).

Perhaps he has an incentive to move the unit. Except for the owner and the general manager (and maybe the occasional sales manager), no one knows the incentives to which the owner and BMW have agreed. As one possible example: Increase sales by 12.2% over 2017 and receive a 3% rebate on every unit sold in 2018. Note that the salesman telling you he couldn't possibly sell the car below invoice has no idea what's really going on as far as the dealer's ultimate cost of the car goes.

Once invoice prices began appearing on the internet and enough people started using them as starting points for negotiating, they began rising faster than MSRP. That's been going on for so many years now that invoice prices have lost their usefulness. This trend explains why so many dealers are able to agree to below-invoice pricing. The real invoice price is both unknown and likely to be quite a bit lower than the published invoice price.

Most (all?) BMW dealers want us to believe that we're getting something special by offering to sell a unit for a modest-to-moderate amount below MSRP. That's nice, but there's a reason that in 2016 BMW was the world's most profitable car company. That was excellent performance from a company that is nowhere near being a major manufacturer in terms of volume.

I'd like to see the Germans discover Japanese pricing - and Japanese quality, too. Fat chance, I know, with us willing to pay what we do, both at initial purchase and for service.
