can someone review a deal...please!

Just sold my 545i and am looking for a 06 x5 4.4. Found one off lease with 34K miles in the color and interior package I like. Has cold weather and changer, but no NAV or moonroof. $21,500 with remaining balance of warranty no CPO.

Checked on Manheim and OVE and that seems in line or lower than average auction price. My dilema is do I bag the deal based on the sunroof. I never used the roof in my 545, and the NAV is no big deal (actually prefer my Garmin). Someone give me a neutral opinion....PLEASE and THANK YOU.

Wow, no sunroof at all? That's pretty rare for a US X5, especially considering the panorama roof was a big selling point when introduced. Is it being sold by a BMW dealer or a used car lot? If from a BMW dealer, why isn't is CPO... there will be reasons.

You've got lots to think about...maintenance records, thorough exam, Car fax, etc.

(I personally like having the nav and panorama roof and not sure I'd get one without them.)

When you buy 06 BMW X5 4.4, you must buy CPO car from BMW dealer. Otherwise, you will be in pain with $$$ to spend on service and maintenance. Panoroma, Nav and Sport Package are Must. Otherwise, it is not worth it to buy BMW. You need to think about it.

i have never heard of a late model x5 without the pano roof..where did it come from..i hate moonroofs/pano roof..i wish i could get one but i thought it was a standard option..the only way that i think that it could happen is maybe special order w/o prem package

How did you check on Manheim? Don't you have to be a dealer?

TaMbALoLoNg is an unknown quantity at this point
21.5 on an 06 4.4, Its the color and package you like, aftermarket GPS is better than OEM Nav. Get carfax, buy extended warranty, use up the ramaining warranty to throughly check the X. No Brainner to me. I'll TAKE IT if all checks out well.
