Here is a link to one of our colleague's wholesale Vehicle Inquiry Report (VIR).

It shows that for a 2018 M3, the base MSRP is 65,500 and the the wholesale price is 61,415.
In this case, the wholesale is MSRP x .93 + 500. The wholesale VIR that my CA gave me
(NorCal) for my 2018 M3 order shows the exact same numbers. One of the bidders during
my shopping emailed me a VIR from SoCal. His numbers were exactly the same.
I can't claim that the $500 is US wide or regional. Nor can I claim that this $500 has
anything to do with MACO. However, it seems as if the wholesale base formula is
MSRP x .93 + 500.
A friend of mine bought a 2017 M240 off-the-lot for $100 under invoice. Adding a + 500
clause to your (latest) invoice formula got me to his exact sales price.
