Yeah, if you plan on modding the car don't get the Xi version. You'll be limited in wheels and suspension parts.

depends but I highly recommend you to look into its service history, especially the sensor issue with the 535 model. Also, bring it to a shop for inspection and since you're in NY, don't know if it's near by where you are but check out the vendor's thread for John Motorcept's inspection service. Of course it wouldn't hurt to look into the idrive to see what kind of service is due next.

Good luck and enjoy!
