Yes, M Sport. Heated Seats.
My understanding is the 2012 M Sport came standard with the Contour Seats and ZMP. I was looking for 2013 cars but this one has low miles and lot's of features that the wife wants. Rear Camera and heated seats all around for her and the kiddies.

I'll post pictures after I get it home. I just wanted to each out in a last ditch effort to affirm my choice.

Seems a little high to me..... Maybe $34K out the door. The CPO is good for as little as just under 2 years. I'm assuming with those miles the year will be a factor before the mileage. What was the original sales date??

Really? The car has 23k on the odometer... that's low mileage. Coming from purchasing a CPO

It's not the mileage, per sé; it's the year. Maybe $35K-36K out the door. I would be aggressive as 2013's will be coming off lease soon, if they haven't already.

OK, we got the car. $36k and a decent deal on my trade in. I've done a ton of research and this car seemed to have all of the options the wifey wanted and more. It's mainly her car for hauling the kids around. We just clicked over 22k miles on the way home. I know I could have haggled down more but honestly, I just don't have the time and energy for that endeavor. I know how that sounds but it's true. I believe in knowing what you want and not letting a few thousand dollars getting in the way of that. I hate haggling and the stress involved. I have friends who love it and that's the challenge, for me, I'd rather just get out of there and start driving. The wife is very happy and now I can get back to what I really love, plotting my next 911 upgrade.

The Activation date for the car was 09/12.
Here's the options list:
Included Packages
M Sport Package
Dynamic Damper ControlM Sport Package w/ZMPMulti-Contour SeatsAluminum Hexagon Interior TrimM Steering WheelAerodynamic KitShadowline Exterior TrimAnthracite HeadlinerIncreased Top Speed Limiter

I have a 2013 with all the options except the M Sport and my lease ends in June 2016 and I can buy it at $34000. I've started looking for an 2014-2015 M sport model in Alpine white because by June my 2013 535i will be worth some where in $29000-32000. If I decide to keep it would't be a CPO.

You did great. I bought a 30,000 mile 6-speed M-sport (2012) equipped almost exactly the same. Very friendly dealer... they fetched it from an auction for me. I think top bid was $34,500... add in some costs and the CPO and I was $37k and they were doing me a favor. M-sport is valuable but doesn't show up in most pricing comparisons. You got a great price on a nice car. Enjoy mine more everyday!

Thanks Everyone.

I'm sure I'll have a million questions in the near future.

Congrats, I think it's a good deal on a car with great options.
Just shy of 3 full years of CPO, what's not to like, we're talking one of best large sedans out there enjoy.

This sounds like the exact same car as mine. I think it's a pretty good deal considering you have cpo to cover any problems.

On the flip side, I'm looking to offload my 2012 535i xdrive m sport and this low price is not good for my resale value.

Either way, great car!

CONGRATS!!!!!! Nice find!!

If you find ANY issues DON'T wait, get it done BEFORE the factory warranty runs out. CPO doesn't cover everything. I have a brake vibration that I suspect is/are a warped rotor. Because I didn't get it fixed prior to the initial warranty expiration, I have to wait for my maintenance agreement will take care of the rotors and pads.
