Isn't that how it always is? I think I am going to get a 7 anyway. I will just have it checked out and make sure it has warrenty. I just dont think there is a big luxo that I like better. Wish me luck in my search.

Before you purchase it, have the dealership print out the service history of the car. That should tell you if its a good one, or a bad one. I have not had too many problems with my 03. None of them I have had are major issues.

check out the car history before you buy, you should also get an inspection by the dealer ($150) if not buying from BMW.

I planned on buying from BMW because I want CPO. This is a luxuary car I want warrenty.......... But I have gotten frustrated with not getting any one really wanting to help me cuz I am out of state. So I will keep driving my 5 till the time is right.

Does the sport package have ventilated seats and heated steering wheel? I recently had a customer with a 745 that was not a sport package. I jumped in the car to drive it into the shop and realized that it did not have a CD Changer. I thought that CD Changers were standard.

I cant live without the heated steering wheel, and my wife cant live without the heated seats. And I still have never owned a Ipod. Thinking about it though.
