hi everyone , yes i am a newbie period. i was always a fan of bmws but never pulled the balls together to go and own one. until now! i am looking around for a 5er. what i am trying to get is 08 550i with sport package(m tech kit+wheels) or the other option is to get any other model and add these lovely accesories on to the car. i basically get bored of cars quickly so i am trying get cheapest car with the most value cuz when it comes to selling i can only afford to lose the least amount of $$$ on depreciation, therefore i am shopping around hard. i have a friend who has an access to get a car from manheim auctions....and then it gets though. doing a research on a single model is easy...doing a research on a bunch of years and models...gets blahhhhhh< it just sucks! so i am gona ask for some help......what should i look for?...are there some common problems with 5er with particular years or engines from your past experiences? i am trying to get low mileage car so factory warranty can cover any bad shizznits.

oh btw i am looking for a white one with black interior preferably, but i can settle for other colors as well..

if you are tired of your car...or thinking about trading it in.....give me a shout first. maybe we can work something out.

thank you ladies and gentlemen, i hope i didnt bore you to death...

+1,


and you stated you get bored of cars easily and are worried about depreciation: why not lease instead of purchase?
