This is the problem I feel like I'm overpaying because that is my nature to hate the stealerships!! This is a present for my wife, so time frame is critical, CPO is a must, and her only requirement when we were looking at them was it must have black exterior that is a limiting factor. She could care less about having a 4.4i, but would like the rims. She cares more about reliability and the 3.0 is that.
I've looked all over autotrader and ebay and the price after haggling seems very good, but then I come here and see people buying 06' 4.4is for 28k!! Can't have a CPO........great forum....any input appreciated.

Look, if you are happy with the deal, that's all that matters. CPO alone is going to be worth $2K easy, maybe closer to $3K. You could get a comparable year/model/color from a non-BMW dealer without CPO for a couple thousand less, but then you wouldn't have the peace of mind.
Color: Black exterior should be easy to find, very common. (heh, I was looking for an Imola Red one...try finding one of those!).
At the end of the day, you will pay more at a BMW stealer than at a 3rd party car lot. But if you really like the car, you're at peace of mind with it being CPO'd, you'll get good BMW financing, the wife likes it....then go for it!
