Replying to: rez (Dec 04, 2009 7:34 am) The purchase took a lot of research and comparisons. I checked the used inventory of the major BMW dealers in my state online for about a month. I also checked on the compatibility of our cell phones because the tech and Bluetooth features are very important to us and there is a short list of "officially" compatible phones. (Our Verizon Blackberry 8830s are not on the list, but they are pairing just fine.) When I finally figured out the desired options and what I would be willing to pay, I got online quotes and also went down to the local dealerships to test drive. In the span of about a week (at the end of the month), I was satisfied enough to buy from a local dealer known for low pressure sales and a good service department. This forum was very helpful to me, too. Please keep us posted. Good luck.

Replying to: rez (Dec 06, 2009 11:14 pm) I can only tell you that last year when I was looking (DEC 2008) I came across a beautiful black sapph. 535i, 2008, CPO, with 27K on the clock. They had it listed for $39,900, marked down (big red sign) from $41,900. That car stayed on the lot about 3 months, I am sure they sold it for way under the $39,900. It had Sports, and all the other pkgs. I passed because I just don't want twin turbos. The extra parts surely would have to cause some maintenance, I'm just guessing. It makes sense, no? Also, I like decent gas mileage and I just can't see a 300HP engine with twin turbos getting great mileage, although many posters have proven me wrong. I finally got a beautiful Alpine White, like yours, 2007 530i, 24K on the clock last June. It has sports, premium, cold, prem sound, NAV, blk leather, comfort access. Like a previous poster, I love the Sports Pkg because of the shadow line trim (black around windows, not chrome) and also the sport steering wheel, and sport rims.It just sets the car apart from the others. I love the car. Paid $36, 200 for the car. The car is and was impeccable. Warranty runs through June 2012. Everyone I know can't get over what a stunning vehicle it is. You don't see too many Alpine White 5 series. I don't have a clue about the tires. I have Bridgestone Potenza RFT's, I"m sure they're not cheap. I love the car and don't concern myself with how much the tires are going to cost me. Otherwise I would have bought a Camry. LOL. Good luck with your decision, and keep us informed. Good to hear from you, Gardis in CT |
