If you already negotiated a price then you it wouldn't be right to try and renegotiate for a lower price.

One of the factors in your case is that the only you are using is from an IRA and assuming it is a traditional one, taking the $60+k out could result in quite a tax bill. If the money was in a Roth or non-retirement investments it probably would be an easier decision.

If it was me, I would finance the minimum amount needed to get the $2k credit and pull the rest out of non-retirement funds. Sure I could lose out on some earnings but then again we could have a downturn and lose the money I would have used to pay for it.

In your case it may be worthwhile looking at a combination of it. Perhaps taking $20k out for a down payment and then financing the rest for 5 years with BMW to get the $2k credit.

In the end it is not much in the scheme of things so just decide what you are comfortable with and enjoy the X5.
$2440 discount is an insult. Just seeing the deals negotiated on here I would have walked away from that salesman and possibly the dealership. If it's between money in my pocket or theirs I don't see how hard that decision can be.
