Not sure what the predelivery fee is but probably best to ask your dealer. You can always see if they can be negotiated but depending on the dealer they may not budge if they have a waitlist of people they could sell it to. |

Since you ordered it at msrp, just think of these two as a 2k markup…dealers charge you extra fees for whatever reasons and if you are super curious, do ask them they will give you a seemingly justified cause. But who cares

Pre Delivery Service fee is a bullshit fee that the dealer charges you to prep the car, for sale, in which BMW, already pays the dealer for the PDI inspection. Included in this would be anything else prepping the car for delivery, like a detail.
The second is another bullshit add on. In the car industry, it's called mop and glo. Some trash paint protection, and interior protection, that people spend thousands of dollars on, and never use. Both of these are just pure profit for the dealer.

The dealership never even sees the car with PCD so they can't add on those extra services.

You naively thought the dealers are actually charging you for whatever services or add-on They are charging you for nothing but pure profits. If they can't charge you for a physical product because you do PCD, they will just charge you another whatever fee with the same value. This is finalized after you negotiate the deal and you can't escape from that just by not picking it up at dealer. Dealerships are not easy to be fooled.
Add a story: I was ordering thru a local dealer which charged mandatorily ~$2.5k for a maintenance plan and add-on, but then I found a better deal so I cancelled this order. A month later I was dropping by so I said hi to the SA at that dealership. He told me it was nice that I found another better deal since now they are charging $5k for the same plan and add-on. These charges are just another name for MARKUP. Dealers expect you to know that. |

Stargard is a vehicle recovery system similar to Lojack. Of course completely superflous now. It likely is dealer installed but as someone said they would find some way to stiff you with something else regardless.

Why do I need to find another dealer? I'm doing PCD and paying MSRP with easy discounts and very low dealer fees. There are nice dealers but I was talking about the asshole dealers like the one that OP dealt with.
