How realistic is getting 10-12% off MSRP these days?
The dealers are all raising up scare tactics that i3s production will end soon, existing inventory is scarce, and BMWNA is going to gut incentives.

Depends on if you believe them or not. In the end it doesn't matter if inventory is scarce or if they are GOING TO gut incentives. If the car is on the lot, they want to sell it. If the incentives are in place, they are still in place. They will try and maximize their profits, so the same tactic applies. Call all the dealers and have them compete for your business. My past two i3's both had the same 10-11% discount and at the time not every dealer was willing to give that much off. Most were saying 6-8%. But with enough competition, there was always that one that's willing to get your business.
