I've seen discounts range from $2k to 5k. 8 series were included!
Thanks for the detail as did not know the specifics either. In some senses this is equivalent to US vehicle manufacturer's dealer hold back and incentives. Thus, unless you ask they our considering it on their profit side vs offering it up transparently in the deal. Even then they perhaps do not have to offer it up within the deal as a discount to the buyer but any sane CA will likely do so as unless they are absolutely short sighted the entire game is to build customer loyalty to a dealership.
I checked. I was told it doesn't apply. :
