I got nothing off for my bike in April, then a month afterwards there's discounts and £500 vouchers.
Never Ever buy a new bike unless there are special offers to go with it, because guaranteed if you do, the offers will follow shortly afterwards.

Not really a questions of loyalty, rather than keeping a good working relationship with the local dealer, and I seem to remember you agreed.
I wonder how thrilled Chester BMW would be to see one of their regular customers turn up with his brand new bike purchased from another dealer.
I've been there, and they don't like it when it comes to warranty work.
Anyway
This isn't actually an issue with Ocean, rather than one of extreme annoyance with BMW.
I know that whenever an incentive is offered, people who didn't get it will be pissed off. but that doesn't make me feel any better for having missed out on a £500 voucher by a few weeks.
I'm not your average BMW buyer with that amount rattling around in my back pocket.
It's a lot of money for me, and I'm gutted.
As I said, the lesson is a simple one.
Never buy a new BMW until nearing the quarterly target month, which in this case is June.
That's when you'll get the best deals, and freebies.
Do not buy till then.

Best deal i got and the last new bike I bought was from a BMW dealer in Tooting saff London.
I think they were called RGS?
Anyhow I had an accident on my VFR750 and had a decent payout for injuries etc
This was 1998. The height of parallel imports.
I got a belguim import CBR900RRV for £5200 all in.
I think they were over £7000 at the time, if not more. Ok it was last years model, but who cares.
Only sold it as now I'm old I used to get cramp on it.
Best bike ever, track days, touring commuting done it all.
I actually cried when I sold it with 30,000 miles on it for £1350 to a lucky bloke in Greenwich
The 1100s I have now would be every bit as good if I could get another 30bhp out of it
