I got my niece a great deal on a 2009 328i, it is Black with Oyster leather, it has the sport package, premium package, comfort access system, Xenon headlights, Power rear shade, side shades, Headed front seats, multi zone climate control, USB adapter, Satellie radio, and it has 46K miles, it is a CPO, and all the service records, the car was bought and then sold from the same dealer. She got it for $24K, which I thought was a great deal, she was able to get 3% financing on it. This is her first BMW, and wont be her last. So the car has 4K left of the free maintenance, and how is covered for 100K.. One of the best CPO's out there...

The prices do sound about right to me, unfortunately, but they absolutely should have explained it, and I'm pretty sure there is extra paperwork that needs to be signed for that.(??)
 
As for the wheel/tire package, what size wheels came on the car? If by some chance she has the 18" wheels, you might actually consider keeping that package. The wheels are ridiculously soft and the runflat tires will bubble pretty easily, too.
 
Of course, the cheaper option, if you have the 18" wheels, is to buy aftermarket 17" wheels and non-runflat tires.

Try bimmerfest and do the board sponsors. No 3 series should be going for more than $100-200 over invoice before rebates/incentives. The 3 series is selling poorly (august was awful).

Do not do it. MSDs. look them up. 2750 down payment should be in multiple security deposits. Also you need to give us more details. If you're getting almost 4k off, that better be 4k off INVOICE, not sticker for a 328i e92. The body style is dead.
 
With any lease first you get them to commit to a price BEFORE applying rebates. Second, you make sure the money factor is base and that all fees are normal. Then you apply max security deposits (lowering your money factor by .00049 - about $50 a month).
 
1. Selling price
2. Fees
3. MF
4. Fees
5. MSDs
 
Cap cost reduction only works if you need to lower your car's cap cost a little to get cheaper MSDs.

I have to second kyftx's response overall.
 
The maintenance is a separate plan to that of the warranty. The tire plan is basically a crock because you can practically buy new tires for that price. Read the find print as I am sure you can cancel both as he said. They will surely give you a hard time on doing it though by trying to make you feel like it is a stupid decision.
 
On my first car the same thing happened to me with an extended warranty. I ended up going down to the dealership and canceling my warranty and it took a year off my payments. Interest rates were a bit higher than, so it may not have the same impact on her, but that's how it's done.
 
However, you could likely refinance right away if you really want to keep the same loan duration.
 
And as kyfdx said before, read things carefully. If there isn't n out, most places won't just be nice about it.
