An extended family member, who is in the export business, told me $2k off a xDrive X5 is considered "good". He is supposedly doing this every day so again, I am trusting this family member to know his shit so if he is not on top of his game, I'd be pissed.
I'm not sure how much homework I have to do to get to your discount level. But it seems more trouble than it is worth (to me).
And yes I don't care about the other $2k, as long as I don't feel duped I'm happy. It's the principle not the money. And you are taking that away from me without providing specifics.
BTW "an average discount is an average discount" you say. According to the stats in the PDF attached, I got an "above average discount" for my area.

Here is the PDF attachment, it didn't go through previously for some reason.
