And assuming you get 73k, the buyer will need to pay $2750 in stamp duty making the car a $75,750 purchase. If you can afford $76k, paying 5k extra for a brand new one is not much.
Just looked at carsales and found 2 x 138i E82 and one was 70k and the other 75k. I think from looking a while back, one has been there a long long time.
Personally take it back to the dealer, get an offer from them and if its really high, there obviously is a high second hand demand for the car. If its redbook style offer, well you know where the market is atm.

Not all true Gumball...
$5 K , hell even $1K can to most people is a lot of money... You cant assume that if someone can afford say $72K can they can stretch to $74K..
There limit might have been $68K and they are already strectched to $72K.
Might point was also that the redbook quote is for a stocker..
Obviously you will get more for a car with options regardless how much you depreciate the options..
