1. You should be able to get ~1000 or so over invoice in SoCal on a 335i [b]Sedan. Look up BMW's current money factor and see if you can get that or close. I've never understood putting money into 7 MSDs. How much are you actually saving for putting all that money in the bank?
2. Try Tina Swistak @ Sterling BMW. They do provide loaners and she has excellent customer service (I just saw her today). I am getting my 335i Coupe there via European Delivery. She is the Internet Sales Manager. You can tell her John T. referred you.

I would personally choose a dealership with the right pricing close to me with a known good service dept..
