So I ended up buying the F-sport after the test drive. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get for at least another month, I wanted Atomic Silver with black interior which they could not find in any dealership so they had to order one from factory.

Thanks everyone for your input, very helpful.

I don't think the 18s will hit the lot till September. 3.5 moths away. But if your going to wait that long. Then wait another month (oct-nov). That's when the big discount happen.

I special order my 2017 450h in June 2016. And got $3500 off. Took deliver in September and sold it in October. I went back to the dealer looking for another one and was offer $7000 off.

I was told 2018 model will be available some time in the Fall which is too far away and there's not going to be much changes so I bought the 2017 model and got a decent discount.
