I would try to get a better deal from the dealer. The warranty starts with the first in service date and it looks about a year left OR 6k miles. So, if you plan on driving around 6k miles during the next year, great. If you do a lot of driving, the 6k miles will go fast as will the warranty coverage. Looks like a solid car. Be sure to check everything, but the dealer will probably fix any problems under warranty. Good Luck!

^^that's what i worry about, warranty close to expire.

I recently purchased pretty much the exact same vehicle, only difference is the interior color.
The in service date on mine was 12/07, still covered under the factory warranty for only another 5k. I then fortunately have CPO until 12/12. I paid about $2500 more for my vehicle but honestly I wouldnt drive this thing without some sort of warranty. I have already had to take it in once and its going back in next week
Actually looking into doing a trade for a 3 series at the dealer. Love the X but I think for the type of driving I do, back and forth to work and around town its too much vehicle.

Well, you can have an indy or dealer check it out and have them look at the usual items, control arm bushings etc. I actually found a used '04 X on Bimmerforums and bought it. Loaded, well taken care of, 51k miles with no warranty. $22k. Put in another $1500 to take care of a few issues and it's fine now. Went with an '04 because we already have 4 cars and just needed an SAV once and awhile. Just make sure you feel comfortable when you buy it. If you don't, walk...simple.

Too much for a non-CPO vehicle.

the warranty expires 2/28/2010, or 55,000miles. the maintance plan has ended as well. the original expiration date for the warranty was 11/30/2009 but includes a 3 month DEMO extension.
