The E34 5ers are pretty solid cars. Have it checked out by a good BMW tech. If the belt is off the A/C compressor you can bet something is wrong. A service history would also be nice to have. If it's a stick and it checks out I'd pay no more than $3000 for it- $2500 if it has a slushbox.

thanks for the info, i was assuming the a/c comp is shot with the belt gone, i found another one for 1500 with more miles and a couple of little door dings, but everything works, so this one i ll check out, thanks again, matt

Hello Guys! I'm new to the forum and new to buying a BMW. I'm interested in buying a used 530i but have 3 options below.
  
- Price $33,888, Mileage 21,800 (Premium and Sports Pkg w/ Nav) Blk/Blk
- Price $36,900, Mileage 36,979 (Premium and Sports Pkg w/ Nav) Blk/Blk, CPO
- Price $31,988, Mileage 48,174 (Premium and Sports Pkg w/ Nav) Blk/Blk, CPO
  
Can you please let me know which one will be the best price to buy or let me know if all are over price.
  
Thanks!

Lanc, is there some reason why the first one you listed is not a CPO? I would hesitate to buy a non-CPO 2007 with 21,000 miles.
My belief is that you really should be looking at a CPO when buying a complex machine like a 5. Mileage takes a back seat to CPO IMO and I guess there is no talking you out of the black on black???????

Hiya Lanc,
I bought a 2007 530i in Alpine White with Blk leather and I love it. Had Premium, Cold, Sports, prem sound, and NAV also. Car had 24K miles on the clock, and I ended up paying $36, 200 which is less than your price on a vehicle with over 36K miles. I would get them down to $34K before going ahead with it, based on my mileage. My car was impeccable. Not a scratch on it. So, use that as your guide.
 
Good luck with it.
 
Hey Kevin, how are ya?

I am trying to decide between buying a 06 550i or a 2007 550i. which year is better? Are there significant differences between the two years? Both cars have been certified and have approximately 44k. Both are sport, cold package and have navigation. YES they are both manual.

How much would I love a 550 but I could well end up arrested. And, I have to say that I enjoy my almost 30mpg from my 530 with more than decent power and fun ride. To me, the balance of the 530 with power and good mileage is worth it.
 
Hello, Gardis. I am fine. From these posts, you seem to be having a great time with your new car. I am glad you found one that seems to be a creampuff. I still love unlocking mine.

Hi all,
 
I am looking at a 2007 530i CPO, 30K in miles, prem/nav/sports package. Dealer is firm at 34,300. Thoughts? good price? The car is very clean with the exception of the floor mats which I am sure can be easily replaced.
