two50man, I have a CPO 2007 530i, with almost identical features except the split rear seats and ski thing (whatever that is). I bought it last June at Greenwich CT BMW when it had 24K miles on the clock, they were asking $36,900, and came down to $36,200. The car is pristine, and still smells new even. It runs beautifully and I love it. It has a set of Bridgestone Potenza ... Read More...

Guys, I'm on my 3rd CPO BMW. I have now a 2007 530i in Alpine Wht and I love the vehicle. I get compliments and oohs and aahs all the time, even by people on the road stopped next to me at a red light! Think about it, essentially BMW is giving you a 6 year warranty on the car. The first 4 original, and they ADD 2 years for the CPO. What manufacturer would take a chance on a vehicle ... Read More...

2008 535i over 60K miles. good deal?

Written by: ponchomoran on Sep 04, 2009 03:32 PM

I've been looking for a 2007 525i and came across a 2008 535i that looks great, it is fully loaded but it has 62K miles on it. The deal is very good, I got the dealer to come down to almost 2K less than what the BMW dealer wants for the 2007, I can get it for 30K OTD Do you guys think it is no big deal, the high mileage? I know these engines run for a very long time, but what would ... Read More...

Re: Just bought 2007 525i CPO ... what do you think [sandeepg]

Written by: gardis on Aug 01, 2009 04:56 AM

Hi Sandee, congratulations, you sound very happy with it, and best of luck! I wouldn't worry about how much money maybe you left on the table. If you are happy with the vehicle that's all that counts. I'm personally not crazy about tinting, I think if you have the right interior color, it could be OK, but I've seen it on Black Sapphire/Black leather and thought it ... Read More...
