What's the process/timeline for ordering?

I'm finishing my fellowship this summer and starting my first real job in September. Other finances are in order, but not to the level that I can start paying for a car of this magnitude until I start and have full surgeon's income (having a baby next month, so poor timing).

So lets say I can get the car any time after 9/1. As of right now I like the 2020s and unless the 2021 LCI blows everyone away, I'll probably just stick with that. Whats the last I can order a 2020? I'd be doing a standard color and a Aragon full, so shouldn't have to wait long for individual options.

Whats the process - call local dealer, talk specs and then how to negotiate pricing? I'm down to lease or buy, I'm just worried that I might go over in miles, probably closer to 15k/yr. I dont have a BMW currently, so I dont have leverage, not sure if I qualify for the mega deals.

Thanks

build your own and send build sheet to few dealers and see what they offer
I think they switch model years around July , so if you want to get 2020 then your build is in June , the car will be at dealer early august usually 10 +/- weeks
expect around 8 % off but can get 10 % if you push hard
the problem that you might run into is the beginning of the model year the RV is usually lower on 2021 as compared to 2020 as the company tries to move the 2020
a dealer might agree to build a car for you in June and they sit on it till September
but from one MD to another , don't buy this thing, they depreciate like a rock
there are leases for 15 k miles/year and you can always buy extra miles cheap
make sure though you don't go over 50 k miles total as the car will be out of warranty and you don't want to get into a potential expensive repair

Plan for about 8-10 weeks from ordering to delivery. Therefore latest you could order is mid-June if you want to order a 2020. You'll get the best BMWFS program from the month you order up until the month you take delivery. I ordered 1/2019 but best program was 3/2019 when I took delivery so that's what I locked in.

Then enjoy!

Can I still order a 2020 M5 base? How much more money and time will it be for a frozen grey color? Or should I just wrap it?
