The offer you're considering isn't way off. I bought my LE in Jan 08, so the economy was starting to head south but wasn't totally in the crapper. The sticker on mine was $66K and I offered $58K. I didn't figure they'd deal much since this one was #5 of 250. Twenty min later we agreed on a trade-in for my 01S and were shaking hands at $58K. So it's not surprising they could immediately come down $10K. Since you're realistic with your trade-in value, they may bite at the $50K offer thinking they may be able to make some of their bucks back by turning your Z4.

What's the worst that can happen? They say No? If they do, let them sit. Chances are they'll come around.

Good luck.
