New to BMW: need some help from the experts

Looking to get some help from you guys since I'm new to the bmw since. Been looking around the forums for a while and it seems like you guys have alot of knowledge.

I have two choices for what I'm going to buy

1. 2014 535i xdrive
23000 miles no CPO

2. 2014 535i RWD
. 30000 miles with CPO

Both are around the same price of 35k. Which do you guys think is the better buy.

Its really depends on what you want, I'm assuming these cars both have all the options you want. It comes down to if you want xdrive or not. If you do want xdrive, just buy an aftermarket warranty and you'll be set.

Yea they both have good options. Plan on customizing later. Is the xdrive really worth it?

Its up to you. I had the same choice when I bought my car. Since I live in the pacific north west, it does rain a lot and sometimes even snow so for me is made sense to get xdrive.

Both transmissions are still very easy to customize.

I'd say go for the RWD with the CPO. I live in the NE and we get lots of snow, and while I wouldn't take my F10 in deep snow, the roads are plowed fairly quickly so never felt the need for the xDrvie

CPO just to be safe especially if $hit breaks and at least you know you're covered!

If you live in an area or have a lifestyle where you need four wheel drive, then get it. Otherwise it's not fun on the wallet replacing all four tires at once, even when some don't need to be replaced
