Hello, everyone!

A new addition to the family means we've outgrown the back seat of our E90. Despite loving the driving experience of the 3-series, I find myself in search of a more practical and family friendly vehicle.

My budget is firmly capped at $21k, as a new family member entails new financial commitments. I am in central VA (Charlottesville) and would prefer to find something within driving distance. However, I'm not completely opposed to something further away if it fits the bill perfectly. I would happily consider trades for my CPO 2011 335i Sport w/47,000mi.

I'm looking for any of the following:

+ E70
> 3.5i, 3.5d, 4.8i, 5.0i
> With cold weather package, prefer post-LCI

+ F10
> 535i, 535d or 550i (or any x-drive equivalent)
> With 6MT and sport package (prefer M-Sport)

+ E39
> M5
> 2001 or newer
> Low(ish) mileage

+ E60
> M5, 550i M-sport
> Under 100k miles
> Prefer 6MT

Let me know what you have!

Thanks!

Will

Post LCI might be tough for an E70 at $21K... If you do find one, they usually will be pushing 100K miles and won't be outfitted with any decent options.

I won't argue that they're not prevalent, but they're out there.

KBB private-party value for a 2011 X5 xDrive3.5i with 76,000 miles and every option available in "very good condition" is $22,001

They're out there for sure. I've been helping my bro look for one and there's a ton of "decent" examples on AT and eBay..

The X5 xDrive35i is a 3.0 liter...despite what the door badge says. And the xDrive50i is a 4.4 liter...not a 5.0 mustang!

I wish you luck, but doubt you'll find much in that price range. Better up your budget, or lower your expectations if you want an LCI X5. And really, if you did find an LCI X5 in that price range, make sure you have some spare cash for repairs/maintenance, as it's sure to be a high mileage example. And likely minimally optioned...
