canonguy12 · 01-09-2015, 10:52 AM

Bought this X5 last weekend adn extermely happy with the purchase

Year: 2011 X5 35i
Miles: 41,500
Exterior: Deep Blue Sea Metallic. Never really a fan of blue but this blue is phenomenal. Just WOW

Interior: Black Nevada Leather
Service history: No mechanical issues. Got the service history report from BMW before buying the car

Packages:
Premium
Convenience
Technology
Cold Weather
Premium Sound
Comfort Access
iPod and USB
Running boards
Roof rails

Price: Got an unbelievable deal. Chrysler dealer and he didn't know about the packages and he advertised as X5 base with leatherette

He was asking $35000 in September.

Mods (after purchase): 35% tint, Detailing, Blackberry bluetooth gateway for music streaming (pre 10/10 built, best 16$ I ever spent)

Photos: Was planning to take some

after detailing/tint but this stupid NE Ohio weather ruined my car already

Below pic was during tint

Loving the car and trying to find reasons to get into it.

Congrats, nice choice in colour indeed!

What did you end up getting it for? I'd say if you got it in the high 20s, you got a decent deal!

Welcome, and congratulations on the purchase.

FYI, the Premium Package was on the 50i, the Convenience on the 35i in the U.S., so it wouldn't have both (at least on the LCI models).

Thank you! And 2011 indeed had Premium but instead of separate package BMW released it as a additional trim. These were the available trims in 2011 along with M.

$26,500. I was looking for almost 2 months and didn't find a deal cheaper than this. Ignorance of the dealer helped me I guess

The same dealer is selling 2011 X5 with 70K miles for $30000. When I asked the difference he said it has Premium package and leather. I was like

Okay I gotcha. Yes, 4 trims available on the LCI 35i, in order from least to most expensive…Base, Premium, Sport, & M Sport. But there's no package called the 'Premium Package' on the 35i, instead they called in the 'Convenience Package.' It has the same stuff as the Premium Package, not sure why they do that!

Not bad! Let's see some more pics of when you're detailing it mate.

JTM09 · 01-09-2015, 09:26 PM

Man you stole that thing. Better keep it inside so the police don't find it.

beautiful blue btw.

jiggz · 01-19-2015, 10:27 PM

Looking good. I like the body-colored front reflectors…that was one of the 1st things I did too.

Did you paint the wheels?

Yes. And reflectors are not body colored. I painted them black. They are not the best but I think they look better than amber

Sorry I missed it... That was a great deal, I got the same X... Paid a little more but I got the 3rd row and entertainment package.

I put on sport flares and 20" 214 wheels and all white LED lights.

Congrats!

canonguy12 · 01-20-2015, 08:05 PM

Thanks a lot guys! I was planning to upgrade to 20s but after painting my stock 19s I really like the look and planning to keep them this year. Will upgrade sometime next year

Awesome! Do you have photos? And how much did you pay for yours?

MassBimmer · 01-21-2015, 10:43 AM

Nice car! Did you have any concerns buying a non-CPO car from a non-BMW dealer?

Thank you!

Concern: Yes, but I guess I am just hopeful that nothing worse is going to happen. Before purchase, I got the complete service history from BMW and didn't see anything alarming. Usually there is a pattern (not always but usually). This car was never at the dealer for any kind of checks. Moreover 6 years would end in September of 2016 so that's just another 1.5 years. But I have an appointment for recall this weekend and dealer said he is going to check if my car qualifies for CPO. If it does and he offers me a price I cannot refuse, I will definitely look into it.

Appreciate the insight! My wife and I are looking at '12 & '13 35's and are considering both CPO and non-CPO. Checking with BMW on service history is a good idea
