I don't think they care about resale at all, more so just the looks and features (aside from power / handling). The Msport with Shadowline looks so much better, to me HK is a must, a hitch would be great for my bikes, and to get the pano sunroof you need the Convenience package. That puts you at $56K. The extra $5K mainly comes from the assist packages which might be nice for longer drives.
Comparatively, there's a M40i edition in our area with BG/TR with 28K miles on it for $56K. That doesn't seem like a steal to me to be honest (but it's only one comparison point).
$61K MSRP is also a hard pill to swallow as it's more than the fully spec'd M240ix I plan to buy (basically every option except the phone 'heater' and I prefer the Sensatic cognac vs. the leather).

That does not look like a good price for the used m40.
If they are going to hold the car for a long time then don’t worry so much about resale. Just go into knowing this dealer is going to have a VERY hard time moving a 61k x3 30i when m40s can be had for not much more. This was probably a customer order that backed away. No dealer would spec such an expensive 30i.
So ask for the world in this deal.
