buying bmw 325 (2005 vs 2006)

I have reviewed the specs for the 2006 Bmw 325 however I am inclined
to buy a 2005 for the following reason.
+improved reliabilty due end of life cycle
-first year production models are notorious for glitches/recalls
-negotiating below MSRP will be impossible on the 2006. ( or it may
have discounts to promote it -not sure how which way it will swing)
+Probability of negotiating below msrp on 2005 will be likely.

Thoughts from the user group is much appreciated.
