This seems like a very plausible explanation. It certainly explains the economic mystery of why BMW pays you thousands of dollars to pick up the car in Munich. Someone just pays them back.
This business of "customer relations" as the reason, well, I could buy into if they were giving you, like a pen or a towel with an M logo or something. But not that much money.
