Comparing the number to the BMW calculator is not the best way to gauge your deal. Those numbers are almost always higher than the actual deal you can get, and rarely, if ever, take into account any discounts or loyalty cash, etc. that you may be entitled to. At 10k/12k miles, that may have made a little more sense. At least it seems like you’re only putting T&F down.

All in all, it’s not a terrible deal by any means if it’s exactly the car you want, you can get the car now, and taking into consideration that EOP is 07/24. If your primary goal is to get the best deal possible, depending on where you are in the country, this probably isn’t it. If you just want it now, then it’s not a terrible deal.

fair enough. i don't have the time / energy to get the best deal in the country and this is a dealer i've bought 4 cars from now so the relationship has some value. i just want to know that i'm not being fleeced. sounds like that's the case...ish. let's see what the numbers look like i guess.
