I think this price sounds fair, but would like opinions:

'06 550 Sport/Steptronic with 27k miles
Alpine White/Black Leather
Anthracite Maple trim
Standard Sport pkg wheels
Cold Pkg
Heated Rear
Logic 7 w/6 disc
Installed sat radio
Nav system
both key fobs & owner's manual
Carfax is clean, 1 owner, dealership says car was maintained on schedule & no major warranty repair history on file
NOT a CPO
New York owner
Bridgestone tires with 10/32 tread on all 4
1 minimal to moderate dent in left front door and a scratch in the rear bumper that I'll have a body guy I know repair
$32,000 plus my tax & registration

What do you think?

I think the car is not expensive enough, there has to be a catch, I mean Logic 7, Nav, 27k miles... doesn't seem right to me. I paid 34000 for an '05 545i with 26k miles.

price seems way too good to be true.
i would also check autocheck, carfax sometimes does not show everything.

AW is great

you over paid my friend... an 06 550i with 27k is about 29 to 32g`s.. it depends on color and where the car is being bought....... 05 545 with 26k is around 24 to 26 g`s mint...

Seems fair - Looks like a couple of options (like CA and AS are missing as well as comfort seats) and the price of 550s took a major hit in August (3K drop). I believe KBB private party on this car is about $34K. So very fair.

WOW where are you seeing these deals???? I might buy a couple and sell them for profit!

All I've seen the past few months are 05 545i going for 30k-33k with 26k miles, with an occasional steal going for $28k.

Seriously and with all due respect, would you mind posting a link as to where these prices can be found? I have searched the entire planet and can't get anywhere near the prices you mentioned.

Taking into account the fact that this is NOT a CPO car, I think the price is fair.
