Thanks in advance gents!
As others have pointed out already:

1. The 1M ED needs to be coordinated through a dealer.

2. Dealers lose money on ED.

3. Given the limited availability and extremely positive press the car is getting most dealers are now aware that they can easily get MSRP or above and will not agree to ED unless you already have a personal relationship with the sales manager or owner.

I went with one of the highest regarded dealers in GA (based on recommendations from friends and colleagues as well as online reviews) and they flat out told me no ED for this car. They are throwing in a few things because I put my deposit down within minutes of walking in and finding they had an open allocation.

Kinda sucks but there you have it. My fiancee is German and we visit every year. Would have been sweet to see how the 1M got on against her mom's 993 4S on the Autobahn (she insists that the BMW is not a true sports car like her Porsche)
