Recently purchased a 2008 4.8i AW/Tobacco with all the options you mentioned plus tow package for when I have to drag my track car around. Also had third row and rear entertainment which I could do without, but they're there. Mileage was 48k and the build date was 2/08 so I still have some factory warranty left, and it came with the extended maintenence plan FWIW. Purchased from CarMax for a smidge under $37k. Why CarMax? Because their extended warranties are reasonably priced and are honored by my local BMW dealer, plus they have a national inventory you can choose from. Even with the warranty and all taxes and fees I still walked out the door for about $41k, and I couldn't be happier with the car.
So keep looking, you can find one under $40k. Because of how tech intensive these cars are, I would suggest some kind of warranty.

Although my budget is only about 35k, ~ may be up to 40k if I stretch it.
Do you guy think I ll be able to buy 2008 X5 4.8i decent mileage (under 45k, and some warranty left) (Fully loaded, Sport with Y Spoke Wheels, Prem, Cold, Logic 7, Climate Pkg, Comfort access, running board etc)
HUD would be nice but not necessary, and I don't need 3rd row seats.
Anyways when I look up autotrader, most of them are well over 40k, and + tax will be about 45k for most cars.
Is this the right price range for the X5 4.8i? or would I be able to find or negotiate price down under 40k?
I was just wondering, if the dealers just set the price up high.
