honestly that sounds very reasonable because it's refundable. it means that if you want to pay a smaller downpayment, you can take some of it back.
i recently placed an order for a 2018 540 xdrive ($72,000 MSRP), the dealer only asked for $1000 but it's non refundable. i also happened to pick all the safe options. even if i ended up not taking the car, it won't sit on the lot for long. other dealers wanted a 5% nonrefundable deposit, which would have worked out to over $3,500.
my 540 xdrive will be alpine white w/black leather, driver assist, luxury seating, parking assist, premium, M sport breaks, apple carplay, harman, wireless charging.
on the flip side, before getting the 540, i was actually trying to buy a 2018 Audi S5 sportback. every dealer i spoke with wanted a $5,000 non-refundable deposit, which it thought was ridiculous. on top of that, the dealers wanted $1500 worth of bulls**t dealer fees on top of the bank fee.
