My 328i will be delivered (a transfer) next week and I'm trying to get my ducks in a row. Salesman told me there are no dealer fees.

Normally they charge a $180 training fee. I believe it's for the manufacturer to train the sales people on selling BMW vehicles. I think this is a small fee which shows up on BMWconfig.com so it's not a big deal.
The advertising fee though, known as MACO, varies. Some dealerships don't pay it if they do not participate. However, most dealerships in SoCal do.
I've noticed that some dealerships will wipe this cost off no problem. Others, they sneek it into the Invoice price. Just depends on how good a deal you can get. I think they should eat this cost since most dealerships are willing if you are getting the car anything over invoice. One dealership tried to charge $400+ for it.
