I think I got a good deal....
My son insisted we put the top down when we picked it up.. so, we were cruising to lunch under sunny skies, with a balmy temperature of 24 degrees.. :surprise:

Automatic
Cold weather package
Xenons
BMW Assist w/bluetooth...
It was the only '05 left on the lot... If it had been the wrong color, or didn't have xenons and heated seats, I would have passed on it, but almost everything is standard on the 330 convertible....
If the car was for me, I would have had to have the Sport or Performance package.. Not having the Sport package was really my only regret, but my wife couldn't care less.. I also wouldn't have paid for BMW assist, but it was on there, so there you go... Now, we have to get a new bluetooth phone for my wife, so she can go hands free...
The silver-gray is a great color.. Not as nice as the old Steel Gray, but close...

I will check it today when off from work!
They lasted for over 50,000 miles.

I had the right side replaced at 49K miles (under warranty) and just had the left side done on my car ('01 330Ci w/90K miles). The price tag was considerably higher than I thought it would be. I hope to keep the car for another 50K miles so it's not unreasonable to assume that there will be at least one more go-around.
Disclaimer: I am looking for tires that are a bit on the cheap side and these Kumhos fit the bill.
These were recommended by the guys at Tirerack.
My buyout on the lease in May of 06 is 25k. Soemthing tells me the actual value of the car will be far, far lower by then...
Congratulations!!

The lease deal you made was a good one, it will be the deal you compare all your furure leases to.

FWIW, KBB shows $24k for the car...
I know what KBB shows and Edmunds but those numbers are almost always inaccurate (they're normally much higher than real world numbers).
My dealer offered me $21,500 ACV for my '03 325i with 38K miles.... This was just three weeks ago...

I thought BMWs held their value better than that historically.....what caused the rot?
Plus.. that is trade-in value.. If you pay retail, but get wholesale for trade-in... those figures aren't exactly comparable...
I sold it privately for $22,600... actually, a pretty good deal for a friend of mine.... Still, less than $300 per month of depreciation for two years.. I think with a few weeks of time, and no personal favors, I could have pulled $23,500-$24,000 pretty easily (of course, I'll never know)...
I'm very happy with the rate of depreciation..

I couldn't quite figure that one out either. Satch thought that my line about an old powerglide working as well as an SMG would be the comment that would draw the heat. Oh well...
What about using it on the headlight covers? Will it do any harm?
Also, the windshield washer in various varities i.e., bug remover, de-icer, etc. Any reason not to use it also?
Boy, I'm full of questions.

I was thinking that it may make them a little more "slippery" and make the winter crud a little less able to stick to them.
