Question Sanity check

Hello, I am about to pull tthe trigger on a 2011 50i and I need one last thing. Validation from the X5 experts.
The car is very clean 37000 miles, CPO with prepaid maintenance for 2 more years. Active steering, adaptive drive, ventilated seats, sport package, 20in staggered, cold weather and rear climate. Basically everything except M sport package. $39k
Is this reasonable?

Thanks

A 2011 50i with those options, especially Adaptive Drive, Multi Contour seats and Sport package and only 37K mi is fairly rare. The price is on the high end, but the CPO and prepaid maintenance make up for about $4K in that price.

The 2011 X5 model year have about 70 service bulletins on them according to NHTSA.

Did you do a PPI? Did you verify service records, other than Carfax? Any repainted panels?

Can you share some pics?

Thanks. PPI should happen in the next day or 2. Service paperwork is complete.

Good deal!

But I'm very curious ... what PPI criteria are being used to evaluate your car?

The original CPO document check list is fairly comprehensive on mechanical inspections and if/when done right, will yield very useful information. But it says almost nothing on cosmetic or body repair/damage ...

Every shop that does PPI varies ... for instance, if you want to measure paint thickness, you need 3 different type of meters to measure the paint on metal, aluminum and thermoplastics (fenders) ... all of which are used on the e70 X5.

I guess I'm ill informed as to the specifics. Honestly I am just getting a PPI because "I'm supposed to" . Your comments about CPO and body imperfections are very timely. I saw a 2012 just last week that was CPO'd hours earlier and yet it had a terribly repaired front fender. Bad paint, big difference in gaps from the other side. I ran away from that one. I guess if I can't see it or feel it i wonder if i need to care about it. She who must be obeyed already thinks I've wasted far too much time on this car search
