Shame...perfect color, too..Only $32K

Thanks for the link. My wife has already told me not to buy white (she has white and loves it, but does not think I will). Her X5 has the 4 zone climate control and we don't really use it all that often. So, not a big deal to me. Also, the price is bit steep for a 2011, so I am going to continue to look. But, REALLY appreciate the link...keep them coming.

Signed a buyers agreement contingent on inspection and mutually acceptable final price, so car is pulled from the lot until I get to Plano from Austin this Saturday. Missing items that I would have preferred: Parking Assistant (though I have read this is relatively easy to retrofit), and M sport package (front bumper). Otherwise everything I wanted and more (expect updated engine). Dealer ask is in line with KBB. Appreciate the link, not sure how I missed it.

Funny story: This past weekend, my wife and I took her X5 to Arkansas to haul back a vintage Airstream trailer that I purchased from my uncle. We spent the night at my wife's sister's house in Plano before heading to Arkansas early Saturday morning. On the way out, we passed the BMW dealer where the car is located. While passing the dealer, I commented to my wife that we should stop and look at the used cars....we didn't. Now, we have to go back... But, I get to visit my brother-in-laws new shop - Sons of Thunder Motorworks - http://www.sonsofthundermotorworks.com/

Nicely optioned! I wouldn't have seen it either, only been looking at MSports.. Might have to price bumpers as an alternative..
Is it a CPO?

Hopefully the car turns out to be as good as it looks in the ad and you get to drive home in your new purchase.

I did rear, front, and side skirts, with paint and installed for $1500
you could probably do just the front bumper for like $600~

Wow that doesn't seem bad at all! MSport has been a requirement for me, but options are a lot less.

Is that used, new, OEM, aftermarket, etc?

Yep, that is why I overlooked it. I was also only looking at Msports. No, not CPO.

That's exactly what I was thinking, start with front bumper cover. Where did you purchase yours?

BTW, I do my own painting (my hobby is ground up car restoration, bodywork and all).

Mine are aftermarket tho, and I got them on ebay, but almost 2 years and 35k miles later and still holding great.

If you do your own work try to find one on Craigslist that has some light scratches and fix it up.

[lincvert]

My old 550 with Msport and 6mt is still for sale. I traded it in when I bought an M6 in February. The car now has dealer mark up but it is still reasonable if you want a manual. The miles are at 77k but I didn't have a problem with the car when it was traded in. Search autotrader with zip code 20111 if you can't find it. Carbon black and the only mods are black grills, ACS springs, and 50% tint. I still have the old springs and grills laying around the garage I think.

[David3]

The car is now mine, got the dealer down $1k on the price, but the experience with the BMW dealer salesman was not great. Luckily, I don't ever have to go back there. Makes me appreciate the Austin dealer even more.

Car is flawless. I tried hard to find a single flaw outside, insider, under hood, and under carriage but could not. No wheel curb rash, nothing. New run flats.

Now, I need to start thinking about retrofitting parking assist. Anyone have links to f10 parking assist retrofit?

[DDD31]

Congratulations!!!


Now the obligatory

The car you got is XDrive right? If so no self parking available. From what I have read the XDrive doesn't have electric steering, so most a retrofit would be able to do is let you know you would fit (if anything).

I found a nice 2011 Msport in Austin, hopefully still avail in a few weeks once we close on buying a house. If it's still available I want it. Will let you know and we can meet up for our own cars and coffee.

Yes, xdrive. I was not aware you could not have both. Oh well. Nothing to do but enjoy the car for awhile I guess.

[ezaircon4jc]

Congrats on the new ride!
