I was at concord with a friend, and you can get them there for MSRP, but you have to know how to negotiate.
I have one on order, I paid MSRP for mine.

I had good experience at Peter Pan BMW. Took about 30 minutes on the negotiation and paperwork. Made a single offer (invoice), he went back (one time), came back and accepted the offer, waited for the paperwork to be generated, said no to extra offers (only had to say no once), then sign sign sign. Waited for an hour for them to prep the car (jet black so took a while) and the SA sat in the car with us for 30 minutes to show us all the features and blah blah blah. Good service, good deal, no pressure. However, mine was only an 08 328i. I am sure 135 would be very different deal. Good luck!

Absolutely, that's why I also stated 135 would be a different deal. 
Getting a great deal is one thing, but having a great experience is another. From my previous research, as long as you walk in prepared and at the 'right time' they pretty much have the same deal +/- few hundred. Then it's up to you to figure out if those couple hundred worth those painful hours of negotiation. I got a good deal and customer service in my case.
Btw, for the options I wanted (I was pretty specific), there was only one in the entire California on the ground at the time and it was Peter Pan BMW.
