I also try and think of the seller in your case. You have an 85k car. people looking for a car will most likely put in a search result of "50-100k" or "up to 100k." This means your car is competing with those on the market. Clear Book has a 99k car trade in value of about 17.4k.
These numbers are stil very bullish and you may have to come down, but a quick look on auto trader has every 335i listed above 20k.
When I traded one car in, I went 750 under Clear Book, but used that difference for the dealer to thrown in delivery (a 4 hour drive) and new tires all around.

Jhayd11, your response was particularly interesting. ill be sure to use this knowledge when i look for a car again.
i checked out clearbook with my options. that lonny dude definitely has issues. he knew the car had 86k on it and it was a CPO and said he would be able to sell it quick so he wanted it.
clearbook says $18k even if he didnt offer an extra for it being a CPO
