Are you comfortable buying/owning without a BMW backed warranty?

I'd want a cpo warranty, or a BMW gold or platinum warranty to go to 100k miles and as much time as I could get.

Make sure you do a PPI, no matter what/where you buy

PrePurchase Inspection, by a knowledgeable BMW oriented independent mechanic...
ard is on the LeftCoast and probably sleeping.

And, none of us can really know if that car is a 'good deal' for you. Mileage? History? Dlr or used car lot? Warranty? Etc.

Need more details like the KBB on your car, mileage on the new one, is it a CPO, etc.

sorry guys left out some key components


2008 BMW X5 4.8i $31,477 with 65K miles on

Also this is the price before trade in.. They are offering 5k for my 01 x5..

I believe it's a one owner with some wear and tear inside.. nothing major, but for example the the CCC screen is all scratched up, makes it hard to read in bright light.. and the left rear passenger window button is missing.( which they will fix)

Also if I go this route does anyone have any personal recommendations on Aftermarket warranties?

I'd pass on it. Way too many miles on it--did you have the service history pulled ?

For comparison:
A month ago I bought a 2010 X5 35d w/ premium, tech, and cold wx for $34,800 and 57k miles. It also has the top BMW extended warranty. Also came with brand new tires and an additional set of aftermarket wheels w/ new tires. I too have a 2002 x5 3.0 for sale privately. The seller was of no relation to me and a 10hr drive away.
