Got mine in December, gladly paid MSRP on my 6-speed manual Diamond Graphite Coupe. In all seriousness, if you want one, pay MSRP. It's just a number anyway. Even at MSRP, you get more car for the buck than a 330ci BMW at a discount. I drove my friend's 330Ci this past weekend, and he drove my G35, and we both agreed that the 330Ci has a nicer interior, but beyond that, the G35 was tops in everything, for about $3500 less.

The average waiting time if you custom order your coupe is now about 4-5 months. The demand is there on specific cars, and on the Manual Transmission models. You may be able to find a fully loaded car on the lot that is unclaimed, but I doubt you'll get one for considerably less than MSRP for a year or so. Some have reported $500 off or so from dealers they have had existing relationships with, but even then it's hard to tell. My family has bought 3 Infiniti's in the past, and the dealer wouldn't move at all for me.

Trust me, if you want one, just pay MSRP. If you do end up driving the 330Ci, which is a great car, DO NOT drive a G35, or you'll feel something is missing. I test drove both, and the 330Ci was very refined, but not sporty enough. The G35 was a street rocket in a luxo package, and the styling is better than the 330 IMO.
