^What he said.

Loyalty credits come and go and in the past were tied to having current financing with BMW NA (says so in the fine print) or within the last six months. When I bought my M4 in 2016 we thought that we would qualify for a $1,000 loyalty credit because we were still financing my wife's 2011 335is Coupe with BMW FS. The dealer said that we qualified but after I signed the financing paperwork it got pushed back by BMW NA. The dealer said they would honor it anyway so they did a new contract, without the $1,000 credit, and moved some numbers around with the final number being the same.

When we bought my wife's 2018 M3 last spring, there was no loyalty credit available, even though we were still financing the M4 with BMW FS (at 0.9%) and this was our fourth BMW.

BTW, all financing was done with BMW FS because of Euro Delivery on all three of the cars, but with the M3 we refinanced with our credit union after redelivery for a lower rate.
