DrDrex, as to the "lot inventory", purely anecdotal on a local level, but the Asheville BMW joint has several ~1 yr old unsold new cars, lots of lease/trade take ins sitting, and Xs up the wazoo. However, the local PCar dlr moved to a "better location" and new building, and has pared back their PCar inventory, both new & used, considerably; they are also an Audi, VW and Buick dlr, too. The sale nut there said they expect to sell less than a third of the PCar units this year, than in previous years and they aren't exactly a volume dlr.
Trade in: no xpert, but just from a wet finger in the wind, as you have discovered, the dlr will hammer you on trade in, currently. The car biz, and its inventory, has
changed dramatically in the past half year.
Good luck on your effort; very nice BMW sled, by the bye. A bro-in-law has a similar model, a couple yrs older: very good ride, if one is skilled and not faint-hearted.
