I love it. Carbon black is a unique color and the brown interior color combo makes it look gorgeous. 2 hours away? Save the $1k and rent a car. The trip on the way back in your new E60 will be amazing . Try to haggle them down a bit more...if you go and visit the dealer maybe you can knock the price down ever more.

Just somethime about that inside which bugs me, its like the side holster are not as aggressive as they are in other 550is? And being the car never went to an dealer prior to being CPO'd and FS.

I have found that dealers are much more willing to negotiate in person rather than over phone or email. They get swamped with calls/emails from wannabe buyers looking to get a car super cheap.

It is much more difficult to turn away a buyer sitting in front of you over $500.

Good luck with your search. I have been on the hunt too and have finally settled in one that I like. Unfortunately it's about $1k more than I wanted to spend but in the grand scheme of things it's like an extra $25/mo.

Basically get what you like and get a good deal but don't expect to nickel and dime too much if it's what you really like!
