Replying to: shipo (May 29, 2007 4:24 pm) thanks - i wasn't sure, the CarFax said "Exported from Germany and imported to Port Hueneme, CA" in Nov. 2003. It went through US customs. between the two cars, do you think the lesser mileage on the one car warrants that price difference? the higher mileage one was serviced at 2,000, 7,000 and 8,300 miles - is that a normal service or might the car have issues? thanks.

Replying to: zoelman (May 29, 2007 4:43 pm) I suggest you try the Edmunds True Market Value calculator. Car prices vary with equipment and location, and since cars like BMWs are configurable in a huge number of ways, you'll have to obtain the equipment lists of the two cars you're looking at before you can accuratly look at proper resale prices.
