Is dealer being honest about invoice?

Hello All,

After some negotiation, I have been quoted the following as "$700 over invoice:"

328i
Mineral Grey Metallic
Sport Line
Moonroof
Variable Sport Steering

MSRP = $40195

Sale Price = $38695

Is this accurate? I know edmunds.com invoice for this car is $37,210, but I am aware of the "MACO" on BMW invoice that is not included in the edmunds.com number.

I'm planning to lease with the standard 64% residual and .0019 money factor that is being offered now for 12k miles/year.
Thanks all in advance.

I may also qualify for the new grad discount and have signed up for the "Drive for Team USA" event, but the dealer has not confirmed if both incentives can be utilized together. Any feedback?

Thanks all in advance.
My understanding is that you can't stack the Drive for Team USA with Grad but you can stack either one with the $300 BMW Ultimate Drive App (I did with the grad),

Edmunds shows invoice at $37,010 for MSRP $40195
I get a slightly different number.
Edmunds invoice at $37010 + APX $480 MACO + $700 = $38190
MACO can go up or down by a $20-$30, but I don't it that much more.
Offer $38,190 if you're doing $700 over invoice.

Ask to see the invoice on the car you want, and add $700, then you'll know for sure.

BMW dealers have 7% profit in their cars (from MSRP)

This excludes any extra $ incentives like Eco credit, option credit, lease credit, etc.

Just take 7% off the MSRP, and you'll see their true "invoice" price.
