Discount on a new MINI Clubman

I want to buy a new MINI Clubman Cooper S with leather seats and Chili pack. Paying cash. What sort of discount should I expect or negotiate for? Currently BMW does 50/50 deal - pay half now and nothing for two years. Is this worth taking up? And if I do this can I still negotiate a discount?

BMW MINI dealers are notoriously hard about giving discounts. So it's up to your negotiating skills. How much do you really want the car? If not that much and you can walk away, then that might get you a decent discount.

More practical alternative to the standard MINI. Five useable seats and neat extra rear door to make getting into the back easier. Cooper D is the pick of the range.
