We're not driving much and roof rails doesn't matter because we live in downtown Chicago and won't take it on any longer road trips any time soon. Heck we might just own the car for a year or two but who knows. Thanks for your opinion! |

This has been a crazy ride, deals are falling through and sellers being weird is more common than not. I'm not even haggling so not sure why.. Oh well, I need your help for hopefully the last time! I'm choosing between two, both with the six cylinder N/A N52 engine.
Which one would you choose? 1. 2011 xDrive28i - 64500 miles - Private seller - Total cost $13,300 Pros: Low miles, good price, looks to be in great shape. Cons: Very basic equipment (not a huge deal though), imported from Canada last year, has been in two 'moderate' front collisions, since imported the owner selling it is the third one in just a year, service records from Canada does not show up on the Carfax. 1CA Selection Cop Relevant Vehicles Selektion Cop Relevanter Fahrzeuge 1CD Brake Energy Regeneration Brake Energy Regeneration 205 Automatic Transmission Automatic Getriebe 216 Servotronic Servotronic 240 Leather Steering Wheel Lederlenkrad 248 Steering Wheel Heating Lenkradheizung 249 Multi-function For Steering Wheel Multifunktion Fuer Lenkrad 258 Runflat Tyres Bereifung Mit Notlaufeigenschaften 2EC Light Alloy Wheels Y-spoke 308 Lm Raeder Y-speiche 308 302 Alarm System Alarmanlage 3XL Exterior Design Contents X Line Exterieurdesignumfaenge X Line 402 Panorama Glass Roof Panorama Glasdach 420 Sun Protection Glazing Sonnenschutzverglasung 430 Interior And Exterior Mirror Packa Innen- Und Aussenspiegelpaket 431 Interior Rr Vw Mirror W Aut Anti-d Innenspiegel,automatisch Abblendend 459 Seat Adjustm., Electr.

Cons: Expensive for the mileage but they are not budging on price at all, no service records between 53k to 89k but they swear the previous owner took it to an indy shop, has been in a light accident on the right side.

I can't comment on price since I have not price shopped but the second car is the far better car. I don't know if it has been raised in this thread or not, but the one thing that causes buyer's remorse more than anything on these cars is getting the regular halogen headlights, like the first car has. Plus everybody likes the sport seats much better. I'd take the second car all day long. I gather you want to buy local? I decided long ago that when it comes to used cars the whole country is my used car lot, and I always go in person and drive them home. That's half the fun. The cars currently in the family came from Colorado, Utah, New Jersey and Washington State.

I've looked up to 500 miles away from me but these are the best I can find for the money. I've done a few searches around the country but my wife is 8 months pregnant and I don't want to travel too far or get on a flight (unless I really have to) I think my biggest question is if the white car is worth the money considering mileage and lack of service records. |

I made a spelling mistake. The left side was in a minor accident and not right side. It seems like the door(s) have been repainted. Thanks for pointing that out. |

I wish there were better cars out there but I can't justify spending an additional $5000 for 30k less miles when the model year is the same. Thanks! |

Whatever X3 you get serious about, pay an independent shop to perform a pre-purchase inspection- that is 150 bucks well spent on any used Bimmer purchase. Ive been driving these cars for 15+ years, every Bimmer I bought was used (and sourced from private seller/original owner).....PATIENCE is a real key when buying used, being willing to wait for the 'right car to show up pays dividends. I've purchased cars with 80K+ miles, but each one had full service history and was inspected- it's doable, just need to know what you're getting into. Good luck/Bill |
