OP: Take your car to Carmax and have them give you a cash offer. The amount Carmax is willing to give you is what you can expect from the dealer you're buying from.
If your selling BMW dealer tells you they can give you several hunderd more than Carmax, then they are doing nothing more than decreasing the amount of discount on the new car you wish to purchase.
KBB and Edmunds trade-in values
do not represent actual cash value dealers are willing to pay for a car.
