I think the sticker price was like $47,000. Oh it is a used car w/8,000 miles and it is amethyst gray metallic which the sticker said was like a $450 color (I think)

MSRP on a new one (215 hp) with those options is around 42k. Spend the extra cash. It won't make that much difference, payment wise, in the long run.

Evenflow545 is right! I never thought I would spend nearly $50K, but now that I have, I realize how well worth it a BMW is!! I truly love getting in my car. I have owned it for about 7 months and enjoy every minute I am driving it. I now have every intention of getting a 545 when it is time to trade in my 530.
On the other hand, don't spend $$ you don't have.

MSRP on a 2006 without the cd changer is $47,970 and invoice is $44,332.
