I am located in SF and bought my car in Los Angeles. 135i's are a bit cheaper down there. My car was $3-4k cheaper than the same example in the bay.

It's basically exactly what I've been looking for except I wish it was Alpine White and that it had silver trim instead of walnut (but I can swap that later).
Problem: Accident on the carfax - dealer knows nothing about it, says they bought it via factory executive auction from New Jersey. Dealer swears they would have never bought it if there was anything wrong with it. I haven't seen it in person yet.
They are asking $40K. Based on what I know about factory executive models, they probably got the car for around, what, $33K?
There are an awful lot of 135s selling for low 30s, admittedly with higher mileage. I certainly wouldn't buy this one at asking price but not sure how hard I should bargain with them. Any advice from the 1-series veterans? I don't think I want to spend more than 39-40K out the door.
