A XI model is better but definitely not a must in New York City and i will not do any mods on this car. I will plan to keep it until the warranty expire and trade in for a newer model

550 is too powerful for me lol. originally i want a 535xi but its way too much for my budget. This 530xi seems pretty good but i just dont know how much i can get down from the asked price. Any one has any idea about that? Thanks for any advice!

it sounds like a fair deal to me, considering it a CPO with the extended warranty. I'd recdommend adding the extended maintenance program as well. And i'd offer $33,000 OTD

My Ride: 2008 535i Monaco blue/cream beige, light poplar trim, sport, nav, premium, Logic 7, 6 speed manual My other rides: Departed: 2006 530xi Silver gray/black, anthracite maple trim, cold, sport, nav, premium, Logic 7, 6 speed steptronic, bluetooth, adaptive xenons Departed...2002 525i White/beige, 5 sp manual

Doesn't sound too bad. Better if it also had the sport package. Is SRC = sat radio capable? (My search isn't working for some reason...again...anybody else experience this?)

Are xenons, adaptive headlights, rain sensing wipers important to you? (Can't remember exactly what is included with premium package...autodimming mirrors I believe...what else?)

Aux input or I-pod adapter? Perhaps you could negotiate this in the price...

Just some options to consider/verify..FWIW.

All the good 530I or XI were sold out within the 50 miles where I lived. Is the 2007 5 series CPO that popular this day?? What was left on dealer's lot are those equip with only cold,auto and premium pkg with 30000-40000 mile and over priced. sigh
