I know BMW made changes disallowing third party payees (i.e CarMax). In any case I guess it's no surprise that they now want a crack at the car and customer but the dealership should not get involved by adding fees onto the buyout. I would surmise that it's borderline illegal if not a breach of contract to do so.
The contract is between BMWFS and the customer. So bring the check and let the dealer send it.
