These seem high. I just purchased:
'06 530xi 46K, cold, leather, sport, manual for $23K
 
This is non-CPO form an independent BMW repair/sales shop.

Question: Does Warranty Still Apply? by gardis
Jan 11, 2009 (5:58 am)

Re Cherryhillo vehicle:
Does that vehicle still have warranty coverage even though it wasn't certified? I believe the answer has to be yes. If it's a 2006, it probably went into service in the end of 2005, so that would mean the 6 year warranty (100K) would last until sometime in late 2011.
 
Do you have warranty coverage cherryhillo? The models I'm looking at are all 2007,. but the 2006 530's are running in the low to mid $30K range price wise I think, all CPO. This is up in Fairfield County, CT. You know, Darien CT, one of the highest income towns in the USA...........why would they need to make a deal I suppose with all those high income people.
 
Congratulations Cherryhillo, hope you have many years of good service from the vehicle. I wish I had the guts to pull the trigger on one I'm eyeballing.

The vehicle in service was 9/05 and only has the 4 year/50K mile BMW warranty on it. I separately purchased a 5 year/unlimited service warranty for $1,500. I have never purchased a third party warranty before, so we'll see how it goes.
 
I live in Northern NJ and purchased in Eastern PA. When I looked at dealerships at the end of December, they seemed to be selling 5 series well with the 0.9% and two months payments. Now that promotion is over, you should be able to see more '06's coming off lease soon and some inventory increase again.
 
Good luck with your search!

Hello Guys,
Have a question for you.
I'm looking at a beautiful 2007 530i, black/black, sports, premium, cold pkgs, premium sound, climate, and Nav. They're asking 34900 with 28K miles on it.
 
My question is: the vehicle had after -market tinting to the windows that makes the vehicle look like a pimpmobile, what with all the black. The dealer told me that the tinting could be removed no problem, and made it sound like they would do it no cost to me.
 
My question is does anyone know if the tinting process can be reversed with no noticeable effect on the windows? What is it that actually tints those windows? I wouldn't want to destroy the windows or the glass by removing the tinting.
 
Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

I lived in the south east and west and I always had all my cars tinted .
Tinting is actually good , not sure why you dont like it
 
With that being said , tinting can always be removed and it is very simple
 
I am also looking at a 07 530 and it has 16 K miles .The options I believe are Prem Pkg , Sirius Satellite , Xeno lights .The final negotiated price is 30.5 K
 
Any thoughts if it is a good deal

Wow that sounds like a good deal. Mine has more pkgs though, than yours, plus NAV, price is $34,900 before negotiation. I'm getting pre approved for a small loan now. Will let you know how much the interest rate is. Most of them have the premium pkg, the extra pkgs are sports and cold weather. I"m getting more vehicle for the money, but also more miles.

Check out http://www.dealerrater.com/
 
It's a good source of consumer feedback on dealers. Throw out the extreme negatives and positives, then you'll get a good picture of how your dealer stacks up against others in your area.
 
Good luck

525i vs a Maxima? by moy

Replying to: dngary (Dec 24, 2006 9:54 am)

I have been leaning towards buying a 2007 525i with the premium package for just under 30K, but I am wondering if this will be a good swap for me. I currently drive a 2002 Nissan Maxima and am wondering if the 525i will seem too slow for me? The Maxima is rated at 255HP while the 525i is rated at 215? Should I try and look at a 530i instead? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
