DO THE CPO! I'm so glad I did. Its an inconvenience when you have to bring your car in to the dealership but atleast you won't have to worry about paying for it.
Its a bimmer so it'll have problems(small or big), go CPO!

Have you explored an after-market warranty for the 07? Getting those extra options, particularly the logic 7 and comfort seats, is a real bonus in addition to being a year newer.

Thank you guys for your input. I do love the 07 and the comfort seats/Logic-7 are excellent options- I also prefer the interior color to the 06 black. However, it is not possible to have BMW CPO a car that is not purchased from them. The after market warranty costs about $2200. That would take me over the budget maximum.
Both cars are still under manufacturer warranty for at least another year/10K miles, but it seems CPO gets the overwhelming support from this forum and else where.

I'm with the majority here. I'd definitely prefer a CPO car to a non-CPO car. One would hope you'll never need to call on it, but if ever you do, you'll be glad you have it...

Also take some time to read through the first couple of pages. You'll see some of the potential problems the E60 can have, I would not want to have to foot the bill for it. Get CPO for peace of mind

IMO CPO is not worth the extra $$, especially, if you're getting a car that still has a remainder of original warranty left
