what do you guys think of the 525xi? I know it will be slower than my 328i but i need some more room. this is silly but what should be my askin price, i am not sure what options it has but it has 5k miles and is at a pontiac dealer?????

Had one as a loaner, very unimpressed, and slow as shit. I thought that the 3 series had a way better interior, and the non-nav I-drive was very unnecessary.
This 2007 had a MSRP of $52,000. I would go will the Used X5 or New X3.

im guessing the ride is better? cooler options? lol i know that it is slow. can anyone tell me the carfax for WBANF33517CS40936 i know it says 5 records but i dont have a carfax account, does anyone in this forum have one and can do me a little search?

convince the GM sales guy that its a late model Pontiac Grand Prix and pay accordingly

[jetblk328i]

hmm i kinda see a resemblance..

[jetblk328i]

but no seriously, would they ask for more money just because its a BMW in a pontiac dealer? WTF was the owner thinking? bmw traded for a pontiac?

Depends on the pricing, the previous owner's loss might be your gain...

The E60 is a fine car with its own driving style. It'd be slower in a straight line but it'd still feel as good in the twisties as your E90.

thanks guys i will call them up a little later, but i really wonder why somebody would trade in a 525xi for a pontiac lol but then again, i test drove an a6 at a cadillac dealer cand i could tell 1000% it was in an accident.....but a carfax check would be nice... i know someone here has a carfax account!

i sure hope its the general manager's theres only 5k miles on it

just do your research....a good thing the E60 is still under new car warranty. Make sure the pricing is in line, some of these GM sales people get greedy, they know the opportunity to sell a premium product is not an everyday occurence, that's why they tend to mark up new and exciting products.

i know, a cadillac dealer tried to sell me an A6 with no options for 45k and it was in a crash(i figured out it was) im gonna try and steal it for around 34k if its a clean car(no crashes)

good luck...

[jetblk328i]

that would be great, but is anyone out there with a carfax report so i dont end up wasting my time calling the dealer...

[jetblk328i]

[jetblk328i]

Would be fine if it had nav, other then that the rest of the function already exsist on the 3 series with a few buttons.

The temp control is poor.

[jetblk328i]

i thought you could do it with the knobs in the console.

[jetblk328i]

oh btw your dealer gave you a 5 for a loaner!!????? i think we get 3s or x3s if we own a 3 at my dealership!

I would avoid this car. 525xi = gutless
