The title is options but they say to see the dealer for details. I am thinking they would not title it "Options" if it wasn't to apply specifically to options meaning you must have at least $1000 in options ordered to get the credit off MSRP.

Qualified customers only. Available at participating BMW centers through BMW Financial Services NA, LLC. Applies only to specific models and only for specific model years. 3.19% APR for 36 months available through June 02, 2014. $30.00 per $1,000. Also available, 3.19% APR for 37-72 months.
$1,000 Option Allowance is a credit against the MSRP of the final purchase, loan or lease on a 235i Coupe through June 02, 2014."
You just quoted the exclusion.... it clearly states "through BMW Financial Services NA, LLC." You have to finance/lease thru BMW to get the incentive. And you have to be a qualified customer which means if you are still thru BMW but are sub prime and they factored it out to a subsidary or a partner it is then not the BMW financial and thus if you are sub prime you wouldn't qualify.
But that part could be referring to the 3.19 offer and not the option allowance...the allowance credit says is against the MSRP of the final "purchase"......so if someone pays the purchase in full then he/she isnt qualified??? If thats the case then I'll do a small loan thru bmw

$1,000 Option Allowance is a credit against the MSRP of the final purchase, loan or lease on a 235i Coupe through June 02, 2014.

Is MF the same for May as it was for April? I probably won't take delivery for another week so this is a nice bonus.

Where on the BMWUSA web site do you find the incentives listed?

Since it's the first of the month all dealers have their morning meetings today and are briefed on all deals for this month. They will all know about it.

How do lease negotiations work with this incentive? Do we work off of the old msrp and then subtract $1000 from that? Or subtract the incentive up front and then start the negotiations?

I can see potentially getting under invoice if you go with option 1.

If my quick read this AM was accurate it's a rebate from BMW so has no impact on profit for dealer. So you should negotiate your best deal, then ask for the credit.

My dealer website which I randomly checked this AM to find phone number for service also has a $750 credit on all 2014 vehicles. Yours may also, again I'd wait til everything else was set then tell them you want that too.

So my M235i is scheduled for ED on 11 June. I am paying cash and I got military pricing. You're telling me I can get another $1K off?

Or is it only for people financing/leasing?

I am going to the dealership tomorrow to pick up my loaner 320i and I'll ask about it either way.

This is fantastic news! Between the $2k off that I originally negotiated, the $1k off for being a recent grad, and this additional $1k that my dealer just confirmed...$4k off MSRP of an M235i built to order is reason to celebrate.

Ok, sorry, I think I get the gist, but to clarify.

Negotiated price when I ordered in March. Will be picking up the car next Wed. I can take our current deal, and take $1k off the top?

Should I email my CA and mention it now? We've been in contact a lot.

This is a purchase. With BMW financing. 228i

Just emailed my CA, he's going to look into it. Since I'm likely not taking delivery until June, not sure if I could take advantage of this.

Yes, just take 1000 off negotiated price.

I haven't been able to figure out if option credit is lockable, since usually finance promotions are locked, and this is a manufacturer rebate. Let us know what you hear.

i'm fairly certain it is lockable. i ordered mid March and don't expect delivery until mid to late June, and I just mentioned the $1000 option incentive to my CA today and he said it's definitely applicable, he just needs to run the credit app again.

I certainly hope so, if not, I'm going to negotiate some free parts.
