It's not. Sell it private party and it's worth much more. I always get trade offers $4,000-8,000 less than what I can get for the car on the private market.

I don't know why everyone is getting mad at their BMW dealer - it sounds like most of the dealerships are unwilling to take recalled vehicles in on trade for pretty good reasons; They can't move them. It's nothing personal, it doesn't matter how many cars you've purchased from them. Simple business.

You guys are acting helpless and blaming the dealers when it's Takata's fault. Any dealer or entity (Carmax) accepting an E90-based vehicle on trade now is either uninformed or only doing it to make a sale in the hopes the updated airbags come soon.

List your cars on the forums/Craigslist/Cars.com/Autotrader/etc. then buy your new cars without the hassle of trading. (I.E. a clean deal, you know exactly what you're paying for the new car)
