Hi All, Does anyone have an idea if the used inventory dealers are hurting given the economy? I can't find any info on BMW used sale figures. Also I'm seeing that the inventory around the counrty is drying up for the 5series. autotrader.com Maybe the Presidents sales are working. I need to wait till spring before I pull the trigger. hope more inventory shows up 06' 07 530xi or 530ixt Comments anyone? Regards, Brian |

Replying to: jayrider (Feb 16, 2009 12:04 pm) You're right, quit a few out there. My mistake, I was looking for a specific package 2006, 2007 530xi premium,cold,sport. More difficult to find hope to see more comming off lease. I see in the lease section people are talking about March, April lease cars finishing up. I have time to wait till spring anyway. Thanks for the info. Regards, Brian |

Hi All, Our roads in northern new england are terrible with pot holes coming this spring and highway paving and what not really scare me from buying a BMW. I see alot of BMW's on 93 and 128 so they can't all be getting flats and losing wheels. Any comments and experiences?? Regards, Brian

Replying to: blh (Feb 16, 2009 9:53 am) I picked up a used 07 530i last month in San Diego. I love the car and was back at the dealership the other day to pick up a manual. The lease manager (a friend of mine) told me that the car I obtained in december 08 was now going for approx 10% more at wholesale. His reasoning was that the economy has taken pressure off the new car market and switched many people to the used car market, thus increasing relative demand.... Not sure if this is true, but it may partial explain your experience. Good luck, John

That's the way it is, enjoy your car I'm happy for you, as you smile every time you get behind the wheel ! Cheers, Brian |

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a 2005-2007 5 Series. 530i is my preference,as the 525/8 is underpowered and 545/50 slurps gas and costs too much. I'm looking to keep the price to the low 30's and under, which should be no problem after looking at Autotrader. Earlier today I saw a 528i at a dealership that was equipped with the Sport Package. The seat was comfortable and supportive, more so than the standard one. I was most excited about the seat cushion extender though- I'm 6'2" and the longer cushion really made the seat more comfortable. I also saw (on bmwusa.com) a standalone option called Multicontour Seats. It sounded similar to the Sport seats, but I wasn't able to sit in a car equipped with multicontour seats so I couldn't compare them. My main questions are, what is the difference between Sport and Multicontour Seats? Which is more comfortable? Which would be cheaper and/or easier to find in a used 5? Thanks for your time!
