(Sorry for the multitude of posts)

I'm heading down to the dealer right now, and wanted to know if when a dealer CPOs a car does it cost them anything beyond the parts and labor need to CPO a car? Want to know how much room I have to negotiate.

Thanks

Of course. You are buying a warranty from BMW to cover the car to 100,000 miles.

Negotiate off the Blue book value, disregard the CPO costs. Dealers will rape you if you let them, if you get over no one loses, but you win

+1 it also helps when u do your researh.
See similar CPOs selling around your area.
Check em out yourself, and it helps to know a salesman who can offer you the lowest cost possible to move the car.
Good luck!

Yes, they have to pay a fee to BMW, although I am not sure how much. As Pjinca suggested, negotiate down from blue book, or negotiate other things if they have a one price fits all like my dealer has.
