Hello everyone, I just wanted to get some input on my almost done deal. I am about to purchase a 2005 525i CPO with auto, Sport Package, Premium Package, Xenon headlights, and Satalite Prep. The car has 28010 miles and is Titanium Silver Metallic with Gray Dakota Leather. We are at the price of $28400 plus tax plus $455(doc,smog,title). I am also qualified for the 4.9% APR for 60 months with the first 2 payments by BMW. The only thing that is holding me back is that their are 2 tiny holes in the front bumper for the front plates...argggg!!!! I know its minor but I want my car to be perfect. The dealership is telling me that they can get it fixed but would come out of my pocket. So my question to you all is, what is the best solution besides bumper plugs?

replace the bumper...get an M-tech aero kit... 
.
You could also take it down to your local paint body shop and have them bondo and color match it...
GL with your purchase. Why should those repairs come out of your pocket tho, Have you really pushed for them to repair it at their cost?

That's a good deal. A small cosmetic thing like that should not hold you back. Like someone already said you'll probably be changing it out soon anyway!

Thanks for your input everyone, I am going to just get bumper plugs until I get the Mtech front end . The car is going through the last stages of the CPO process and getting detailed tomorrow. I should be able to pick it up tomorrow night or the next day. And of course I will post pictures as soon as I can. Gonna be a long 24 hours, looks like I will have to just browse the forums until I bring home my baby! Oh and post me some nice Titanium Silver pics for me.
