Hey all..I am new here. In the process of making a deal on a 2007 E90. Here's the details

$31,245 for a 328xi with 22300 miles, 6-speed, premium, sport and cold weather package and the dealer installed ipod adapter. It's black metallic with Dakota leather.

Not sure what to think of the iPod adapter, as far as quality. I just spent 2 hours reading the forums trying to figure it out...


Any thoughts on the deal? Too much? About right?

Might pick it up tomorrow and I'm kind of nervous..

Thanks.

The '07's came out in September, so it could feasibly be a 1.5 year old car... In which case, it would only be a little bit over mileage...
It's no different than my '06 that I picked up in May of '05. It's gonna be 3 years old soon, yet it's only 2 model years old.

Ill call and find out what build it is tomorrow morning. Anything I should be concerned about if it is an early build 2007?

The only thing to look out for on the XI's is 'creaking suspension' that a few members here have reported.. Other than that, there isn't really any other issues with these cars. I've had mine for close to 3 years with 0 problems (knock on wood trim)..

wouldn't that be a warranty issue? at first I read that as "cracking" suspension, I was like WTF!

Does the deal sound good to you, btw?

Still debating it. Need to hear back on financing terms today. I'm in suspense...

Damn guy! 60 miles to work? That's cost to 100 km... Holy. I hope you don't get stuck in traffic. I work like 30 km.. (19 miles) from home and I already consider that far. Traffic in the 401 across Toronto will cause me to take about 1 hour to cover those 19 miles.

i hope it's 22k good miles ^^

Is it CPO?

[voltron1011]

have you done a edmunds.com TMV on it?

Yes, it is CPO and Edmunds was near $33k. However, I see that equipped new this car is $41k with 0 miles, MSRP. I see tons of used ones around (04s-05s) going for low 20s...these dont seem to hold their value that well.

Why is that? Super-subsidized lease rates?

I don't know, all that stuff is super-over my head. If it's CPO it'll be a good deal. In my opinion having that added warranty and dealer support (whether or not your dealer actually gives it to you is another story) goes a long way.

Why does this go in new car ordering when it deals with a used car?

[LuisBoston]

so now I read about the Turanza problem... the car does have Turanzas installed. The car has 22k so its over 20k... should I talk to their service guys about it before buying the car?
