I was pushing for base money factor and they don't budge, so they did better on overall discount

Just to vent, I hate going into the F&I office, every time it takes forever, and we somewhat agree on the deal but they always manage to mess around with it. End up spending 3+ hours on a Sunday morning. Why can't they just be like Tesla and be in and out in ~30 mins...

Lessons learned, you really have to work hard to get the very last bit of few hundred dollars, there's really no free lunch...
That has mostly been my experience with nearly every dealer, but it was entirely different this time from BMW of Reading. Quick, painless. She already assumed I wasn't taking the extra stuff and only asked me quickly about the more important things, tire/rim and brakes. Told me I could take the brake maintenance plan at any time so no need to take it now, and I took the tire and rim. Reasonable price for the package I thought.
