That depends on whether 2016 is a brand new model or just a makeover---also, if you wait too long for the 16s, the only 15s left will be the less desirable colors and options (or perhaps something so loaded up it would be very $$$). So it's a case by case situation. Sometimes the factory will kick in incentives to clear out old inventory--but the dealer isn't going to sell anything for a loss that's for sure, no matter how undesirable a particular unit might be.5

A dealer fee is just a way to add more profit to the deal. They can range from $75-$80 in NY or CA, all the way up to $899 (Florida, Georgia).
Not sure how they got to be so customary, but those big numbers are ridiculous. Some states set a maximum allowable fee.

I've had a few loaner vehicles with that powertrain. Seems like plenty of power to me.. My wife's BMW has a 230 HP 6-cylinder, and the new turbo-4 is definitely quicker.
The 4-series sits lower and looks sportier (to me, at least). The GT has great utility with the hatchback.

One more. 2016 are about to hit. Do you usually get a better deal on the outgoing model or about the same on both.
