holdback question

I'm probably going to make an offer on a 2018 530e today for a car on the lot (East Coast, USA). What is a reasonable price to offer? I was thinking I'd calculate invoice minus the 5% holdback and offer $1000 above that, which should cover any dealer processing fees and salesman commission. Is that reasonable or is holdback sacred?

Thanks in advance.

Holdback is an amount that the manufacturer will give to dealers based on the price of the car, is my understanding.

Well, based on my buying experience today, it seems they will go into the holdback at least some. Given others are reporting up to 9-10% off MSRP, they must be eating into holdback assuming those prices are not including any incentives.
