BMW 545i with 50k miles for $28,500...what do you think. Is it a good price?
Did you do a KBB price check?
CPO'd BMW or private party sale?
Your location? the car's location?

My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport
Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige
Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
Not to mention the model year.

all the above info is needed and is that price the asking price or the negotiated price?
if its a 2004 i dont recommend it as it has its issues. search for more info, aslo is it a c.p.o? (certified pre-owned) cause anything over 50,000 miles has NO warranty at all. these cars are very expensive to repair so you want to make sure you're covered...

price is good considering the car's specs... HOWEVER, you have NO WARRANTY... AT ALL
if anything goes wrong, and chances are it will you will have to pay for any and all repairs... mechanical or electrical.
remember, these cars are rolling computers systems. they "hiccup" every once in a while and have to be sent to the dealer for repairs/upgrades... dealers charge about $120 minimum an hour for pretty much anything...
you should carefully consider another car that has original FULL BMW warranty (car with less than 50,000 miles) or is at least a C.P.O. (100,000 mile coverage is a great peace of mind in my opinion). you might pay a tad more upfront but it might pay off if something was to go wrong...
just my .02 cents
