I am planning to buy a 2007 530i via an auction through a dealer. I have shortlisted two cars, both are in a great condition:
Option A: Premium Package + Sports Package + Navigation, 42000 miles
I think I can get this for about USD 26000 (excluding tax, tag, title)
Option B: Premium Package + Navigation, 12000 miles (no odometer fraud)
How much more should I expect to pay for this one? Which option should I go with?
I don't want to pay too much more for this one since the time remaining warranty is same for both the cars (1 year) and I can buy extended warranty for A with the money saved.
Any feedback is appreciated.
cheers

Personally I LOVE the sports package. I found the tighter suspension and all much more enjoyable. Again this is just my opinion. Good Luck and let us know what you decide.

My Ride: 2006 550i Black Saphire/Black Dakota Leather- Loaded- M5 Appearance Package, Sport Package, Pro logic 7 Premium Sound, Navigation, Cold Weather Package, Comfort Package, Heads-up Display, park Distance Control, Bluetooth, Active Steering, Electric Rear Sunshade, Rear Folding Seats, Front/Rear Heated Seats, Xenon lights, Satelite Radio- Extended Maintenance, CPO (Considering Tire/Wheel Insurance)
My personal opinion would be option A. I too think the sports package makes a great difference overall.
Question for you, I have a 2006 550i (look at signature) w/48000 and warranty through 3/12/2012. What do you think my car is worth? Its a great looking car and is in perfect shape.

My Ride: 2006 550i - Sport package, Cold Weather package, Nav, Xenon lights, 6 speed manual
Mods coming soon...Still need to figure it out.
Thats a tough one. While I prefer the sports package, I am also a big fan of low mile vehicles. I just purchased an 06 550i with 12k miles and I did pay a premium for it. ($37,500) It was a CPO car that is literally perfect in every way. There is not a mark on this car and you can eat off the bottom of this vehicle. With that said, I did not mind paying a few thousand more. Good luck with your decision.

42,000 miles on a 2007 is actually pretty good and you get the sports suspension. I would personally go for the first one. A big car such as the E60 would be better served with a sports suspension and that's exactly what I will get next, if I can find one with real tires.

I wouldn't buy either one. Are you aware that the BMW dealers have some awesome incentives on 2007 5 series CPO cars right now. For example you can find a car equipped like your first choice above for about $29k if you bargain hard enough. Rates ae .9% and they pay your first 2 payments and it has CPO warranty on it.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.....I didn't get either one at the auction. My bids were $1000 short on the first one and $300 short for the second one (my wife felt really bad that we lost by such a small amount).
Just an FYI....Option A went for $26.5k and Option B for $30.5K. Do the prices and the difference sound reasonable for the specs?
