Ok, so I may have FINALLY come across the car that may cause me to pull the trigger on a purchase. That being said, I am curious about what you guys think would be a fair offer. The options are shown below with links for more info.

I haven't checked the CarFax report so I don't know what that might show. Oh yeah, any key options that you see missing?

Thanks for your input!

Jeff

is it under CPO program? it will be fair if you have that until 2011 or 2012. or you may offer them $1500 less the asking price. Goodluck and you can't go wrong with the 545i.

It also has Park Distance Control - a (IMHO) desirable and useful option!

Looks like a heavy option car with a unique interior color combination! Could be a nice deal; don't be too shy to bargain - qualified car buyers are few and far between.

About $30K is a fair price for this car right now if it is a CPO, about $27K if non-CPO.

It is a CPO and as you point out, that seems to normally add roughly $3k to the price. Seems like all options are there so I am probably going to get down to the dealership in the next few weeks or possibly just make an online offer to see if I can get it a little lower. As I understand it, 'Internet Sales' departments don't work off of commission based on sales price but rather, how many vehicles they move. Given that, I would think they would be a little more flexible than walking in.

Grteat options! Comfort seats and sport package are not often meet. Just keep in mind that for $33-34K you can get 2007 550 nowadays.
