My trade is a space grey '09 128i auto, sport, prem, most everything except nav, two tone interior, 26,500mi still in CPO, installed 264 wheels & spoiler from a 135, brand new rubber, new brakes-ceramic pads, drilled slotted rotors all around.
KBB says at very good trade in condition is 17,528. Range is 16,600-18,100
So then maybe my approach would be 18k for the trade and -1k off MSRP...or 19k for my trade? And see what crawls out.
I want the car but hate dealers.....

That sounds like a solid plan. Put it on them hard too. Tell them you've found another M235 a few hours away, and if they won't work to earn your business, you'll have to take it elsewhere.
Best of luck!
