I don't know, I don't think that offer is way out of line for a BMW dealer to offer. Consider that they are going to expect to spend 1-2k on the car when the bring it in, and put it out for around $32k. After their expenses, salesman's commission, etc., they're going to make around $7-8k. I would say thats a typical margin for a dealer to get on a used car like this.

Of course, any time you trade in a car, you're going to get way less than a private party sale.
