is this a good deal?

Buying a new 128i Coupe:

Options:
White
Premium Package
Rear parking sensor

---------

I got 4.5% off MSRP (along with an extra 1000 on my trade-in)

how does this look?

What should I look out for in terms of issues of the car?

I can't tell you what the profit margin is in Hong Kong or Canada, but here in the states it's 5.5% so you got a very good deal using MSRP in the States. Just a quick note why did you order Premium and not Sport????

what does extra 1000 mean? on top of what? the first number they gave you? need to know all the specifics to know if its a good deal.

<<<<<CA for BMW btw.

uhh I know there's not enough specification to analyze whether or not it is a good deal, but basically they took the blue book amount for my car, and then they added 1000 dollars over the blue book amount.

As to why not sport, because i didn't want the hassle for switching to winter tires from performance tires, and since I have another car already, basically this car was bought for my parents, and they prefer not to have the harder suspension.
