Yeah, exactly--or BMW figures out a way to apply incentives and move the metal (or carbon) without having to do something so crass as offer "cash back."

I can see a lease on a car like that being very attractive, assuming you're planning to get a car like that. You've also got the additional problem of what the secondary market is for a 150-200K car. You're probably not going to sell it on Craigslist to try and get a better price than the trade-in offer.
