Is there a Pre-owned ordering process?

As per the title of this forum, is there an ordering process for pre-owned cars as well?

The main reason I'm asking is I'm looking for a pre-owned 2008/2009 E90 335i with 6MT and M Sport package. Very hard to find thus far, and if there's another way to find what I'm looking for, I would be amped.

So far, I've been looking at the classifieds and various websites, and it's hard to find manuals, let alone M Sport manuals.

You could try going to the local BMW dealerships and ask to see what vehicles are coming off lease in the near future... also could give your info to a sales rep and have them contact you if they have any trade-ins that meet your criteria.

Good Luck!

I never thought to ask about what cars are coming off lease. Good idea.

Cars that come off lease don't necessarily go to the dealership it was originally lease from. The off-lease cars go to auction and that dealership could buy it from BMWNA. I went through this process when buying my 2008 CPO. The dealership can see approximately when cars are coming back from lease, but that does NOT mean they will have it to sell to you.

You could try swaplease pick up a lease with a incentive and a low residual. And you would get test drive it until the lease is up. The buy it or simply walk away.
