Thought was going to have to get a Range Rover here. Told the salesman no
blacks, No whites, No greys. But located one not in those color spectrums so got a deal. If waited for a F15 only color would have taken was bronze. Expensive cars now and no choices. |

That is why the photo is at a BMW dealership. That is literally where I picked the car up myself, then drove to the other dealership and paid for it. It was weird, but totally worth the 300 bucks. Now I also know what to specifically ask for at the first maintenance visit, because it has the 100k maintenance plan as well. So I know it needs oil change, and coolant change. If you buy it from BMW they do that inspection before they take the cars in to prep for sale. They handle correcting all the little things they find, which I guess could come to over a grand quickly on a 2-3 year old car, so its often pitched as a 1500 dollar value. That all depends, but I do believe the 300 bucks is worth it for piece of mind if not buying from BMW directly. |

Does yours have a clean Carfax or any signs of bodywork? Did you run a paint thickness gauge on it? |

I think 39 at a bimmer dealer for one with M sport is a great deal. At least from my last 2 month of shopping experience. We definitely saw a price reduction in July compared to June. It was very noticeable. Its tough to know why they pass on them, but my friend said high miles is usually the first thing. Everything in that auction inventory is done based on supply and demand. They have software tools telling them statistics on availability of everything across the entire country, and that determines the values. |

If the car doesn't have nav doubt it will have CA, or logic7, or comfort sport seats that can't be installed later.

I love the msport 5.0 need the prices to fall a bit. Debating to retro fit it all onto my diesel since it would be unique in the US.

All, Im new to this forum and am looking for some advise on an x5 purchase in the very near future. I just totaled my e36 m3 a couple weeks ago and am very interested in the x5, but im realistically looking for one in the $23-25k range so its looking like a 2008 with 50k miles or so at best. I did 95+% of the work on my m3, so im interested in how DIY friendly these cars are. Additionally, im interested in how they hold up. Seems like a lot of AC issues from the little bit of research ive done thus far, but am I getting into a money pit based on the age/ mileage, or is this a pretty bulletproof vehicle?
thanks in advance for the help.... |
