Anyone?
I am serious about trying to make a decision before the end of the month.

I see no issues on this report.
I came across a 2008 535i for $39,995 with all options I was looking for except Nav.
Hmmm.... 2006 550i with 27,000 miles for $35,500 (accepted offer) or 2008 535i with 27,800 miles for $39,995 (retail price)?

Dunno... but I do feel that the E60 is a bit of an "older guy's car" than the 3-series which looks like a college kid's car.... Having said that, I would get the 335i in a second if I had to do it all over again right now.

You can do much better than 35.5 on a 2006.

I'll post the stats on it when I get back. I haven't even seen the car. My brother who lives near the car took a look at it and gave the green light. I trust him, a fellow M3 owner. He said change the color of the headliner immediately, new wheels next, and then M-Tech kit (think that's what it's called), in that order. I'll have to research more about this grey headliner with Auburn interior.
The most important thing to me now is to find out how to get my iPod to work in this car. I installed a Dension unit in my 2004 330cic and a IceLink in my 2006 330cic.
Happy Holidays to all of you

Where did you buy the car? Where are you flying to.....Is this it? http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/dda/deta...ler_id=40273320
Congrats on the ride. Once you start the mods, it won't stop. Just ask C's Bimmer....he'd mod his toes if he could, and he'd have good reason to.
Can't wait to see pics and Happy Holidays to you as well.
