The dealer wanted $31995 as the internet price which is $1000 off. The price was recently lowered so I am thinking the internet price is now $30,995. The car has 21K miles. The Edmunds TMV is $28,711 and the sales consultant did not want to sell for that price. What would be a good deal? A second but unrelated question...is the engine in the 530i a better than the engine in the 525i

Replying to: 1stnewcarinyrs (Aug 17, 2008 7:43 am) Try posting that question over in the "Real World Trade-In Values" topic on the Smart Shoppers board. You can also use cars.com to find comparable cars and asking prices. A second but unrelated question...is the engine in the 530i a better than the engine in the 525i? They are both a part of the same engine family, the primary difference being that the 530i engine develops more horsepower and torque. Both motors are equally reliable. |

Replying to: ntjames410 (Aug 23, 2008 2:12 pm) I'd go with the 530i; better performance and fewer miles. "Angel Eyes" are just the illuminated rings or halos that surround the headlams. Every 5er built since  2001 has them.

I saw some dealers put down 4-speed auto but some put down 5-speed auto/steptronic. Are they 2 different transmissions or one of them is a mistake? I saw some 550i had almost the same price as a 530xi. Is it normal? |

Hi All, Up here in New England, looking at a 2008 535i with 27K miles, car is spotless, solid black, dealer asking $39,995. Haven't negotiated or driven the car even. I'm skeptical about the iDrive, can anyone reassure me? I have a 1996 328i and love the car. Can't bear to give it up, but it's time for another one. I'm drooling over this 2008, but I'd like to get it a t a better price. Economy is tanking, how many cars could they be selling, seems like I can squeeze them. Also, any words on fuel economy? What does "turbo" mean, that sounds like a fuel hog to m e, though it gets good ratings for fuel consumption. Please help!! Gardis gardis72 gmail.com

| Looking at a private sale 530i with 25k miles. He is asking 27k. Car has basic options. Is this a good deal? | |

Hi, I am very strongly considering a slightly used 550i, but recently drove a 2006 M5 SMG and of course loved it. It is kind of hard to find a manual 550i which is what I would prefer if buying a 550i. Prices on 2006 M5 and loaded 550i both CPO are about the same. 2007 may be a little higher. This will be my primary vehicle and I drive about 15K/year most of it stop and go traffic. For those in MA route 9 and lots of it. I am wondering how much more per year my costs will be on insurance, maintenance after manufacturer maintenance is over other costs after CPO time is over What do you think resale value would be compared to each other 4 years down the road? Especially if gas prices get back to $4+. I plan to keep the car for about 4-5 years. Which one would be easier to sell then? Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Looking at buying either a certified 2007 328i Sport Wagon with 10K miles, for around $29K, or a 2006 530XIT (AWD) with 26K miles and one year left on original warranty, for close to same money ($30K). Any opinions on trading up to the 530, but losing the extra certified warranty. Separate from styling, compelling reasons to go with one or the other? Live in Houston, so the AWD has limited utility. Thanks for any opinions.

Replying to: oldgoat2 (Dec 02, 2008 6:24 pm) 1) At least two years (or more) and 40K of free maintenance vs. one year for the 530 2) 4 years of warranty vs. 1 year for the 530 3) Better fuel mileage, with probably equivalent or better acceleration (30 less hp, but less weight, no AWD). 4) Sportier handling vs. AWD 530. If you lived in the snow belt, maybe.. but, in Houston?
