I didn't want to get screwed on my trade in when I ordered my M240, so I simply sold my car to Carmax for the maximum market value and used the cash as a down payment on the new car.
It worked out great because I got the exact appraisal value I wanted, simplified the sales experience at BMW and didn't give the dealership any opportunities for leverage with my sale. Not having to stress over the trade in value made ordering the new car fun and stress free.
