2008 BMW 135i - CPO, Sport Pkg, etc... how'd I do?

[tangfj]

Hey guys,I just put money down on a 2008 135i at a local dealer. I originally went to test drive a 128i loaner for $27k that they had since they didn't have any used 135's listed. Well anyway, once there, it turned out that they just got a 135i trade in that wasn't listed yet so I took it for a test drive. After driving it I knew right away that the 128 vs 135 is really no comparison in terms of driving fun.

Anyway, below are the specs... how did I do? I think I got a pretty decent deal but wanted to see what other people's thoughts were.

What the car has included:

• Black exterior, black interior, black trim
• 32,000 miles
• Certified Pre-owned (100,000 miles until 6/14)
• Included Black VMR 19" rims as well as original rims/tires
• Car already tinted (all windows)
• Sport Package
• Tire Pressure Monitor
• Extra Cupholder
• Rain Sensor
• iPod and USB Adapter
• M Steering wheel
• Moonroof
• Heated front seats
• Headlight washers
• Navigation System
• BMW Assist with Bluetooth

So for pricing I got the car for $30,965... about $1000 off the asking price of 31,900. I also got it with 0.9% BMW financing for 4 years, where BMW pays the first 2 payments of the car up to $500 per payment. Anyway, what do you guys think overall about the deal I got? Good/bad?

I guess either way I think I'll love the car. I'm set to pick it up next week after they clean it up/etc... I think I'm also going to have them put the original wheels back on until the summer time. Don't think the 19's will hold up well in the winter with potholes/etc. around town.

I would say that's a decent deal! Congrats!

Needs a wash though!

Not too bad, I'm liking the wheels! Those would look good on my sedona

Pretty decent deal and great financing Love the wheels and car but I am partial to the black 135. Since your trim is black you may as well go with a blackened badge

Great idea to buy a CPO 135i....only way i would buy a used one as well..I did too. You got a fairly good deal with the CPO but BMW dealers make there money as they probably paid 23-24 grand tops for the trade in.

Thanks guys, I think I'm happy with the deal I got though I suspect I won't really know for sure until a few months from now after I've had a chance to get used to it.

The only thing I wish I had was the 2009 updated iDrive/Nav. Of course, I'm coming from a 2001 Lexus IS300 that only has a 6 disc changer, so no matter what I'm upgrading. I just have read that the updated iDrive in the 2009's and later is much much better than the 08. Of course, had I bought a 09 or later I wouldn't have gotten the financing I got so it probably wouldn't have happened anyway.

I think you paid way too much. Based on what you listed, the originally MSRP prob was just over 40k. That car depreciated way more than 10k in 4+ years.

The majority of the options you listed are standard anyways....
Does the car even have leather?

Either way, enjoy the car, and good luck.

Just to give you an idea, this is for a convertible, with more options than yours. Just under 27k, without negotiating.

I would reconsider your deal.

Yeah I probably did pay a bit too much but the deals already done so there isn't too much I can do now. Either way I'm very happy with the car and very happy with my experience with the dealership I bought it from!

$27k for a 128i but only $30k for a 135i? who would EVER get the 128? :/

ED: tint not dark enough, get darker tint

40% at least.
