Default '04 525i to '08 535i?

Going to look at and test drive the following 2008 "Jet Black" 535i tomorrow. The dealer is asking $15.9K, about $1500 over market value, but if I can get a good deal with refinancing at or lower what I currently pay I may soon be boosted. My '04 525i has just under 91K miles and this '08 535i has just over 91K miles with a clean CarFax, thoughts?

Thoughts? WAY Faster. WAY quirkier (read expensive)...with potential repair costs up there. Get the Service history. Other than that...I love my 535xi...A LOT.
