I'm looking at a 2006 530XI White exterior and Auburn interior 530XI Cold, Premium and Sport package. Asking 29,800 with only 15,000 miles.
I have not looked at the car and not sure if I can get past the redish interior.
trying to find a better pix of the auburn reddish interior anyone seen this or living with this color if so does the color hold up ?
Sounds like a great combo to me! I love the Auburn interior... White is fairly rare on a 5-series...
Don't have a pic for you, though.. There is no substitute for seeing it in person..

Thanks
No its $28,900 I'm very interested though my wife wants me to wait ti the spring so she can get used to driving my Jeep 05' .
the 530xi lookd very clean an I have two Independent BMW service groups that I can bring it to.
Yes I've seen a few more pix of the interior now, and it appears to be more on the brownish side not too red which is very appealing I thing. Your right too on not seeing any 530XI in white.
I am nervous about lack of awd here in New England...would appreciate thoughts on that, too.
Any/all comments are greatly appreciated as I need to pull the trigger on something this weekend...thanks in advance.
Get a set of winter tires/wheels and swap them out at the beginning and end of winter. That's worked fine for me on both a 3 Series and a 5 Series.

Any comments on car as described and price I'm looking at?
Check on Tirerack.com for packages that fit the car..
Don't be turned off by the price... Every mile that you put on the winter tires saves mileage on your other tires... and buying the wheels means you don't have to pay to have the tires mounted and balanced, twice yearly...
So... the running cost is lower than the initial outlay..

have a hypothetical question. I saw a nice 5 series 2007 530i at an Infiniti dealer in Greenwich CT. Price was lower than what my dealers are asking. When I questioned him about it, he said, "but that's not a CPO vehicle" which probably was correct if it was being sold by Infiniti.
My question, how does the warranty apply on that vehicle? IF the underlying warranty runs 6 years, then wouldn't that car also be covered by the warranty even though it's not a CPO vehicle? I would think so. How can they not cover their warranty?
Anyway, I"m not buying it because I didnt' like the color, but what if the color was nice, would I be out of warranty protection? Thanks.

Anyone have any dealings with this group?

I am also looking for a CPO 2007 530i, and I can tell you two cars I looked at:
1. 28K miles, sports, premium, cold, nav asking $34,900, dropped it to $32,900 and the car sold before I could get there with the deposit. Black/Black. Car was impeccable.Warranty to Oct2012.
2. White/Beige, premium, sports, no cold, 18K miles, went into service Apr08, which means warranty expires Apr 2014. Very unusual. They started $39,900, dropped it to $36,900, wouldn't negotiate, and the car sold. I'm kicking myself.
Also impeccable.
Your price sounds very high to me. Tell them what you're willing to pay and be prepared to walk -- AND lose the vehicle. You can look on BMW USA website, search preowned, and get an idea of pricing.
I'm being offered a nice 2007 5 series out of state (60 miles from my house).
Does anyone have any experiences buying out of state? What are the advantages, disadvantages. I would have to service the car at one of my local BMW dealers, no question. But if there's a problem with the vehicle, are they going to approach it the same way as a dealer who sold the car?
Please advise, I hate to pass up this opportunity. Also, do sales taxes apply if the car is bought out of state? Years ago, we use to go shopping in NYC because we didnt' have to pay sales tax. I doubt that's the case any longer.

You should also check out this discussion: Buying used cars from out of state.
Good luck!
Another reason you haven't seen too many CPO 535i, is because they just came out with that style in 2008, so the leases aren't coming back in yet.
It has prem pkg , steptronic , Sirius , no nav or sports .The car was very clean
I guess you should shoot for less than 35 K
Does anyone have an idea if the used inventory dealers are hurting given the economy?
I can't find any info on BMW used sale figures.
Also I'm seeing that the inventory around the counrty is drying up for the 5series. autotrader.com
Maybe the Presidents sales are working.
I need to wait till spring before I pull the trigger. hope more inventory shows up 06' 07 530xi or 530ixt
Comments anyone?

Brian
You're right, quit a few out there. My mistake, I was looking for a specific package 2006, 2007 530xi premium,cold,sport.
More difficult to find hope to see more comming off lease. I see in the lease section people are talking about March, April lease cars finishing up.
I have time to wait till spring anyway.
Thanks for the info.

Our roads in northern new england are terrible with pot holes coming this spring and highway paving and what not really scare me from buying a BMW.
I see alot of BMW's on 93 and 128 so they can't all be getting flats and losing wheels.
Any comments and experiences??

I picked up a used 07 530i last month in San Diego. I love the car and was back at the dealership the other day to pick up a manual. The lease manager (a friend of mine) told me that the car I obtained in december 08 was now going for approx 10% more at wholesale. His reasoning was that the economy has taken pressure off the new car market and switched many people to the used car market, thus increasing relative demand....
Not sure if this is true, but it may partial explain your experience.
Good luck,
John
Well isn't that just great so the regular guy like me who is trying to get into a " Driving Mechine" will still be getting screwed.
That's the way it is, enjoy your car I'm happy for you, as you smile every time you get behind the wheel !
Cheers,

Earlier today I saw a 528i at a dealership that was equipped with the Sport Package. The seat was comfortable and supportive, more so than the standard one. I was most excited about the seat cushion extender though- I'm 6'2" and the longer cushion really made the seat more comfortable. I also saw (on bmwusa.com) a standalone option called Multicontour Seats. It sounded similar to the Sport seats, but I wasn't able to sit in a car equipped with multicontour seats so I couldn't compare them.
My main questions are, what is the difference between Sport and Multicontour Seats? Which is more comfortable? Which would be cheaper and/or easier to find in a used 5?
Thanks for your time!
Is the used car market really strong? i can't believe too many people are buying cars right now - new or used.

I believe you can get the price down by a maximum of 2000.
I purchased a 07 530 with 16 k miles 2 months ago for around 30K
The car has Prem Pkg , Steptronic , and satelite radio
I recently talked to my salesman and he said the prices have gone up since I purchased and the CPO cars have been flying off the lots

CPO is up to 100K miles or 6 years from the date it went into service whichever is first.
