My guess is most dealers consider our transaction as a "done deal" with no upside to absorbing a $500 discount.
Perhaps would be a bit more agreeable if used as credit on accessories such as mats etc.

I understand their reluctance.
True, though they should at least apply the $500 from BMW NA that will in no way affect the dealer's profit.
