Instead of $47k MSRP with ~$43k invoice, they are working with ~$44k ED MSRP with ~$40k ED invoice. The dealer makes the same on either deal. I just get to go to Germany with 3-4k left in my pocket like any standard ED purchase.

Sorry it just doesn't work that way at all. BMW charges the dealer a LIST price for each car in the dealer's allocation, there are no other prices for the dealers cars other than List and MSRP, unless you can talk them down from MSRP.
There is no different ED List price that the dealer pays. The ED price is only for the customer and it is %7 off the BASE or MSRP price. Options aren't included in the discount either.
