While browsing the BMW NA website I noticed that Habberstad BMW out on Long Island had a 2004 545i with only 800 miles as a CPO for sale. Does anyone know how that could be possible? It struck me as a bit strange.

That's what mine was, except a demo (no CPO). There are these anomolies in the system. As long as it is a dealer and your title is clear, no ploblem. Ask in-service date to determine actual end of warranty calendar. Should be able to buy it around $50k.

Cheers,

Maybe zeros missing or a estate of a deceased.

Everything is possible...

I agree anything is possible. If it is what it seems to be, someone is going to get a heck of a good deal providing they are hard bargainers. Ray, you are about right. The dealer is asking about 51K.

As long as you don't mind it's a demo or loaner.
Forget about the break-in of this car though

It would not surprise me if this was not a car that was bought back from an owner by BMWNA and they finally figured out what was wrong with it and fixed it. They could have asked a dealer to sell it for them as they do not do direct sales as far as I know. Purely Speculative on my part.
