Also, most places let you lock in rates for a fixed number of days. BMWFS has 60 day lock, I believe. So, if you find a good rate and know with a great certainty when your car will get delivered, you can lock it and be ready.

And my CA said that BMWFS rates in December are usually the best of the year. But I have no past experience with BMWFS, so don't quote me.
Thank you for the info. Yes their rates seem to usually be better towards end of year, I bought my current F30 on Dec. 28th, 2013 and they seemed a lot more flexible with rates and pricing then.

I've heard there are some dealers out there that require credit checks and deposits in order to place an order.
Good to know, thank you. Yeah I've only briefly spoken with mine a few months back but haven't gotten down to the details, my understanding from research was typically $1k deposit.
