thinking about buying either of one.

Hello, we are thinking about getting a 335xi for my wife.
I found a 07 335xi in monaco blue with 35,863 for $23,555 from Lexus dealership. here is the link http://showroom.auction123.com/lexus...006408.html#lg

and just recently found this one 08 335xi jet black with 47,238 miles for $30,900 from BMW dealership. http://desimonebmw.com/browse_certif...68A010811.aspx

need advice which one to get. I am leaning towards the monaco blue, cuz it has low miles and a lot cheaper, but I like the black color on the 08.

thank you in advance for your time.

The 2nd one might be nice because it says it is CPO, but it is a little more money and more warranty. Also if you want a nav, the 2nd one comes with a NAV, though it is the older nav, so not as good as the LCI nav.

so, CPO is basically just a warranty?

Yeah, CPO is Certified Pre Owned. That second black '08 will get you a warranty until about 2014 or 100,000 if you pay $2k for the extended warranty. To be honest I'd go with the first, do you seriously think you'll accrue an $8k parts and labor expense? I've had my E90 for five years and I've driven it hard, my parts and labor for repairs, if I had no warranty, would be somewhere in the range of $2k.

It's your call. Alot of people get much satisfaction knowing their BMW is covered for any lurking repairs that may (or may not) occur.

The high pressure fuel pump is known to fail on most 335s. I have an '08 335xi which has gone through 1 pump in the 30,000 miles I've had it. Otherwise it's a great car.

I'm actually looking to get rid of mine for something else, so feel free to take a look: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=504439.

It's a 2008 335xi, black on black, with 30,600 miles. $30,000.
