And if I interpret those right, if a dealer says he is discounting the car 4K, he hasn't done me any favors. He hasn't discounted it at all as 3250 and 750 is 4K.
Good practice is to separate dealer discount from incentives. The dealer may try to combine them to make it look like you're getting a great deal overall, but always aim to negotiate on the pre-incentive discount. So if a dealer is discounting $4k, it needs to be $4k PLUS any incentives you qualify for.
Great advice. To be clear:

Discount: dealership decision and cost (to potential profit from the vehicle).

Incentives: bmw decision, no dealer cost.
