Opinions/Comments between these two Cars

All,

Looking at the local used inventory and have narrowed it down to these two cars, would appreciate any comments you guys might have regarding both:


- 2011 535i xDrive
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...0346/overview/

- 2012 535i
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...0636/overview/



Indifferent to the exterior color, my must have is black leather interior.


Thanks for your feedback.

Not sure if still relevant to you or not.. But given the two I would go for the Silver one.
Here are my reasons.
Newer, lower miles.
Front and rear PDC vs rear only
Auto Tailgate and Comfort access
Ski-boot (useful to some)
Ceramic controls are silly, but do feel nice and they are there..
Adjustable throttle response (Sport/Eco modes), maybe suspension as well? I see button next to shifter but don't know all that it entails.

The white one offers X-Drive if you need it.. Also has rear shades, which I love in our 335i (no tint), but the window tint on my M5 makes me not notice that I don't have it, if that makes sense.

Neither have the fancier adjustable seats, something I found in test driving that I really like and added to my must have list.

Goodluck
Matt

Thans for the input guys, I ended up getting a CPO 2013 528i. Gray with Black/Oyster interior. spec'd almost the same as my 2014 lease; no LED but it has side cameras, blind spot indicators and cold package.

very please with it; interior is in like-new condition... very little (if any) use of the rear seat, exterior was somewhat detailed but i want it clayed and waxed.
