The OP has gone silent so we may never know, but in this case if the first offer (a discount off of a new car) was unacceptable, then BMW should have offered alternatives, such as a lesser amount of cash towards a used or CPO equivalent model. This would have paid for his deductible, offset some of his inevitable premium increase in the coming years, and ensured he could get into an equivalent model without an out-of-pocket expense.

Yes, but as I pointed out, OP wasn't concerned with it being too expensive and not having enough money. He was okay with only 5k off if he could still bitch to media. OP just wanted a bigger bribe for his silence on the matter.
