Hi there!

EDIT: I decided to revise this thread as I went with a different car. The old one was a 535i ///M Sport in Titanium Silver Metallic. This 'new' one is a 2011 550i still under CPO warranty and maintenance plan! It's Alpine White on Oyster and comes with Megan Racing coilovers, 20" Niche wheels and tires, and the Active Autowerk (signature?) exhaust. Quite a steal in my opinion. I'll be flying out to LA next week to pick up the ride.

Another Edit: The seller sent me a photo of the car with the Niche wheels and coils on:



The car has been returned to stock for the sale (all parts included though), and the reflectors have been shaved and the bumper painted as well as a gloss black roof wrap, so it's nice and clean too. More photos to come Friday!!

Thanks! Yeah, right? I'm so happy mine came with the sunvisors and floor mats options

New update: The dealer is experiencing issues with their 535i getting the recall performed; in the meantime I found a privately owned clean Alpine White/Oyster 550i with 42k under CPO warranty and maintenance plan that I'll be taking a look at next week.

Welcome! And glad you got (or might soon get) the mats. I think that was only part of the super secret premium package. Mine only came with the carpet package.

Yeah! I scored on the new 550i I just found as it also comes with floor mats and sun visors. This one also comes optioned with wheels AND tires, which is hard to find these days.

Yea, they're Megan racing coilovers. I was hoping they were KWv3s, I might've just sold them lol

[SilverRevlis]

Thats very clean! Is that an aftermarket side skirt?

Thanks! I believe it's stock. I tried looking at some comparison photos and it does look stock. The only aftermarket here is a small spoiler, a lip on the front, the AA exhaust, coils and wheels. He also shaved the reflectors and wrapped the roof but other than that it's 100% stock, due to it being a CPO car. Once the warranty is up, I'll get a tune and all that going.

looks good! should be a fun drive from LA back to Reno!

I picked my car up in Jan 2016 in Bend, Or and drove it back to San Jose, it was a fun drive once i got out of the oregon mountains....

I have family in Portland! I love that drive! When I had my permit my dad would take me on roadtrips to and from Reno/Vegas and Reno/Portland to rack up hours. At the time we drove a 2000 Ford Excursion turbo diesel with a 6 inch lift kit..... on stock wheels/tires it was the most uncomfortable experience ever.

The drive from LA to Reno will be my first roadtrip since then, which was about 5 years ago. So here's to hoping the drive is a bit more comfortable lol. Part of me wishes the car had cooled/active seats, especially it being a one owner LA car.

Curious if they cover full suspension under CPO since it's sitting on the Megan's?

I don't believe they will. The warranty is still valid on the rest of the car though.

My local dealer said they'll basically take out whatever aftermarket parts are on the car, and if the problem was caused by the aftermarket stuff they won't value the CPO warranty. It's nice because they said I can toss in a tune, and if warranty work is needed they'll do it as long as the problem wasn't caused by the tune. I bet the same applies to the coilovers. Is EDC a huge issue on the F10s? I mainly want the warranty for the turbos.

[lsturbointeg]

I don't have EDC so hopefully other's will chime in. I figured they wouldn't cover the suspension but suspension is a lot less to fix than say the engine /turbos
