I am in the market for a 07 328i (20K-30K miles) and am debating whether to pick up a car with the 6yr/100K CPO from the dealer or buy the car privately (with 2 yrs of factory warranty remaining), and add the CPO from a national BMW CPO provider. I drive 8-10K miles/ year I tried looking for the pros and cons of the two, but could not find the thread. |

Ok...Tons of great offers on new cars and Cash for clunkers deals, so not sure how smart it is to buy used, at this point, but it sounds like you all are zeroing in on what is a fair price these days for CPO -- any ideas on this one? 2008 335i Convertible, 9,500 mi, Premium & Cold Weather pkgs, Comfort ACcess & Satellite radio. Offered $49,995 What should I expect as my best deal?

Replying to: cwsjmm (Aug 21, 2009 11:30 am) I am being offered $34,999 for a 2007 335i Sedan with everything except cold weather. 37k miles, lease return. I figure I should be able to get down to $30,000. What do you guys think?

Replying to: philadendron (Aug 24, 2009 2:05 pm) In my area BMW 328i, according to Edmund is worth around $30K but similarly equipped and mileages on a used BMW, dealer is asking around $24K to $27K. What is wrong here? |

| I'm interested in buying a 2007 335i CPO. Considering it's already mid-Oct, do think there will be a a drastic price difference between now and Jan 2010? | |

Hey all you 3 series owners. has anyone ever exceeded 500K miles... I have! and Im here to to tell you there is no one on this plannet that can tell me this isn't the Utilmateachine. I owned a 325i 4 dr manual.....I acutually never had any problem. I live in the Calif. L.A. area, my mechanic South Bay Indepednat bmw in Gardena...they are the best. when I needed an oil change, they check everything.... I never took this car to a dealer...and I purchased it used with 60K already on it and no history report back in the day. I kept oil changes and service routinely.... Never needed a trans, and did not ever have a clutch until I gave it to my sister and to honest she drove it a yr longer and traded for a 530. at that time the only thing was happening the trunk started to leak when it rained. Im sold, no matter what I will probably never own another brand... although the benz is started to look alittle more snazzy.... NAWwww! can't do it. Love yu beemer lovers Im picking up a 540il tomorrow used one owner 161K miles- clean.....MIles do not scare me. that is if it has been taken care of.

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 24, 2009 7:41 am) I had 1987 4 dr, let me see if I can find one in my old photos and copy and past I did not ever recall having a clutch replaced... Maybe when I purchase it with the existing miles the shop already put a new one... Don't know, But I just did nit have any problems. I never did any of that down shifting, I never rode my clutch... Because I was taught not to. once I gave it to my sister she had to replace it. That is what baffles me so much when hear other people always having a clutch problem. The learned now to drive astick on a 911 or 914 porsche....those gears are so close together that you could really strip them fast.
