A letter was something I was leaning toward doing when I order one sometime around mid-January or so... but I wasn't thinking of specifying the dealer profit/markup. I fig'd they could figure that out on their own and knowing that the request was being sent to other dealers, they'd give a total price accordingly and reasonable. Simply, I was going to ask for a total-out-the-door price and leave it open ended.
That and I was going to include a couple dealer-installed options too (ipod adapter and alarm, specifically) in the otd price, so I'd think the dealer would find a little additional incentive to be had by responding? Anyway, I think I'd get more responses being a little more open ended in just asking for their best out-the-door-price for the car with x, y, and z than whether they'll meet price $X. And then once I get some responses, I could take into account which dealerships I'd rather do business with as well (as I already know some I prefer and also others I'd rather not buy from). I'm curious as to the response you got from your letter/email too. good luck |

Thanks to all for the help. Based on the advice, I called a few dealers rather than blast out the letter. The first dealer I called agreed to $750 over ED invoice without any negotiation for a 335i coupe. I pick up my car in a couple of months.

OP here (changed my login name).
I ended up dialing a few dealers instead of sending out the letter. I got $750 over ED invoice back in September. Picked up the car in Munich in November. Re-delivery in USA just a couple of weeks ago. I found multiple dealers willing to deal. |

Good job and congrats! Good for you for setting your own expectations rather than listening to all the advice suggesting to start $XXXX over invoice. |
