Why do I feel the dealerships are low balling me? 2011 335 M sport e90

What year of 5 series are you looking at? Personally, as an E90 owner, I find the F10's to drive like complete boats. I plan on keeping my E90 even when I have kids.....I'll size the strollers to my car, not the other way around

2013 535 with M package.

Never driven a 5 so I can't compare. Leaving an e90 m sport had to get in the equivalent 5 series. Still looking around too.

i have both and agree that the 5 series drives bigger than the e90 does but boy is it comfortable and a perfect highway cruiser. truck room is greater and its much better to take when we are putting four adults in the car. while people fit in the e90 backseat just fine, the suspension and seat comfort in the 5 is unmatched. Love that thing.. now if only the wife would let me take it more often...

I don't have a Dealer black book around, but Manheim's MMR says $27,800 is auction value for a e90 with those miles.
No way to tell options, but 30k-32k would be what you should try to get.

A 2011 535i non-GT or XI, Tan automatic with 19k miles brought $30k at auction.

So there's about 2k-3k difference between your car & that one online.
