I'm currently on the verge of ordering a new I3. The conversation with the first dealership didn't go well (i.e. calls not returned and information not forthcoming) .... so I have now been talking to a new dealer, who I have recently just purchased a new M4 from so I have some track record of purchases.

With both dealers, when I have asked about discounts, its a flat "no" and I'm being told that the dealerships are just BMW I agents so have no power to discount. However when I look on line I see discounts having been given (especially in the US). So before I take the plunge, has anyone managed to secure any form of discount/benefit in the UK ? The other interesting thing, is that they are apparently not able to offer ex-demontrator models for sale and reading between he lines it sounds like BMW are somewhat manipulating the demand and supply of both used and new. Does of course beg the question of what will happen to used values when BMW do decide to "flood" the market ?
