X5 50i M Sport

Alright fellas, after a lot of questions and help from you guys and many others. I am finally ready to buy a 2011 or 2012 X5 50i M sport.

I am having a SUPER hard time finding one and i have been looking for over a month. I am starting to get frustrated because i sold my 335i anticipating this purchase, and right now I'm driving a 2004 Ford Ranger!! Needless to say the only power option in this pos truck is the power steering!

If anyone has any leads, any ideas, or have seen any at a local dealer across the country please let me know!

I am looking for one with relatively low mileage, under 20k, but I am willing to adjust for a good/clean car.

I definitely want Alpine white with Black or Cinnamon interior. When it comes to options, most of what would be out there would work because they typically have all the goodies.

Once it comes down to price, i would like to be under 60k and would pull the trigger immediately at 55k, which is a very fair price for the values I have seen.

Essentially if you can help me, i would appreciate it. I look online and make calls every single day, but sometimes there are cars that are not listed online.

I am really excited for this car and I haven't been this passionate on a buy in over 5 years!!! So any guidance would be appreciated!

It is new but you might be able to get a good deal.

Ask for Brett Midgley (brett.midgley@bmwautohaus.com)

I bought two cars from him and I'm 300 miles away from him! (ok, to be fair, the X6 was delivered at the PDC).

Anything under 500 miles I would drive. The rest I would have shipped

You are looking for a rare vehicle at a great price. It is going to take some time and/or you are going to have to settle (btw, I personally hate settling - so I of course recommend you keep searching - but be patient).

Flew down on SWA, got picked up at airport by Brett and then drove it home. Sort of did the same thing with my X6 but from SC. I had my 1M shipped however (from Boston) and used Intercity. Can't say enough good things about them either!

I traded a 2011 X5 50i with around 45k miles. Has every option and I did the Dinan exhaust with stage 3. I'm pretty sure the dealer didn't sell it yet. I'm located in Long Island. Carbon black

Sorry thats too high of mileage for what I'm looking for.

I wanted to stay under 20k miles, but do you guys think mileage should be big concern of mine? I want lower for reasons of looks, appearance, and i am more comfortable with less "use" of a used car.

This message is for nyranger74 since as a new member I cannot pm yet.

I believe I have been looking at your old car at Oyster Bay BMW. Is that yours? I'm in NC so hard to see in person and sales guy I'm dealing with seems to know nothing. Says the only mod is the exhaust and no ECU mods. Your above post says stage 3 so just trying to see if this is actually your car. Very interested as its in my price range, please pm me or email me if you don't mind a few other questions, would be much appreciated.
