A Couple of Questions

I think I've decided on a 135i. In my area there is one BMW dealer that is pretty small volume. In the past they have not been very helpful when I went to check out used e46 M3's. Should I go to a larger volume dealer to order? Does a small dealer get a smaller allocation of cars, hence is more likely jack up the price?

Also I would trade in my old car. Are there any issues I need to be aware of when ordering while planning a trade. Do we discuss this before? (Prices and trade in value etc) Also I know this is a huge generalization but how are BMW dealers on trade values? This would be a low value trade in $3000-4000.

Thanks for reading

For good or bad, it seems as though a large volume dealer will be your best bet. Especially if you want to get an allocation for a 2008 at this point

Definitely have them quote you a value on your trade up front. That way if you're unhappy with what they offer you then you can try to sell it yourself.
