Yes, BMW essentially controls how many cars each dealer can sell.
Right now, all ED cars, except M models, come out of a separate allocation pool. It means these are bonus sales for the dealership. And despite the limitation on allocations for ED M cars, dealerships are still willing to go pretty close to invoice.
You can negotiate further with your dealership, I got it down to $1k over invoice and others have gone lower.
