Wow $18k on a trade in? I thought stealership normally rip you a new one on trade ins. Seems like a pretty good deal to me since that's pretty close to KBB private party. If it's from a dealer, I assume it's CPO as well?

The other route is to sell yours and find a used one and pay in cash but that proces could take weeks to months. Whatever you choose good luck!

At first they tried to rape me and offered 14,500...after a few minutes I was able to get 18...kbb Is showing 17,500. Knocked off a couple g's off the sticker price on the 335 as well. Only thing stopping me from driving off the lot in it is the weird color combo.

I personally think any color other than grey with silver exterior looks nice.

How did you haggle them up from $14.5k to $18K?!

I felt exactly that way about the grey interior on silver until I found my car. It's grown on me, plus its not like I'll be driving this car forever.

18k is definitely a good trade value for you. Sounds like the salesman really wants to make the deal.

check the service history, you want to know if the hpfp has been replaced and if so, how many times....

Update: brought the 335 home overnight to really get a feel for it. Did some grocery shopping, went to a friends house etc...car feels solid and pulls like crazy when the turbos spool up, def funner and more responcive than the e60. I think I'm gonna go for it guys. I am pretty happy with getting 18k for my car...when I go back to the dealer I'll have the service history pulled up and if everything is good I'm gonna offer 27k for the car. Hopefully they will agree. Loans already approved btw.

Eh, I wouldn't do it, but then again I'm 6'4" - a 3er isn't quite my size. But if that's what you want - go for it.
