I so wish that kid would've consulted with me first. Instead, he walked in loving that car and those sales guys knew it.

I worked for dealership before and i am a car wholesaler right now ... ask them for the service record and the invocie. combine the price together if u can get it below invoice $500 it is a good deal already. Usually only huge dealer will do below invoice unless the car stay in the lot for a long long time. But beware of this, they will deal with their own service department and charge a lot to get the smog and safety done. Hope this will help 
Also, demand to see the actual CPO certificate and go over each inspection with you. I've heard some horror stories of dealers just casually checking things off, only to find out later the car's been in an accident and the bumper's been repainted, yet they still passed it off as CPO.
What are the car sites' estimates on a car like that? You look those up yet?

Get an average, seems like a good way to get a reference price.
$40k seems a bit steep to me but then again, I got a killer deal on my 2006 530xi during the height of the recession...about $8-10k below those site's average trade-in prices. So, seems like to me there's definitely a lot of room to negotiate. Just remember to keep your poker face on.
