Well folks, I have finally purchased a new(to me) vehicle.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

You !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! asking oppo’s opinion on two vehicles. Then i got a chance to read !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! regarding the very dilemma i was having. Do I buy a new “sporty” sedan/hatch or buy a preowned “premium car”.

Well folks, I went with the “premium”. I really really liked the 2010 528i MSport. Yeah it was an auto, but it was great. I left a deposit down while i scheduled a PPI. I had my PPI done today, and the car was great mechanically, the bumpers were resprayed with maaco quality paint, needed 2 new tires, and my thinking was that while it only had 15k miles, it was still a 7 year old e60 that i was paying top dollar for.

I went back to the dealer and worked on the alternative. 2013 328i M-Sport.

Not my car (but looks just like it).

Alpine White/Black Leather

34k miles

M-Sport

RWD

6 speed

Xenons

Power/Mem Seats

Park Control/Back Up Camera

NO SUNROOF

9 months of warranty left

Nice 30 min drive home from the dealership. Drove like a dream. Really happy with my choice.

Congrats! Love the F30 in M-sport trim. Any planned mods?

No mods. Maybe burger tune when warranty lapses next year. Have a baby due shortly. Will ride her stock.

I did the same thing last week, but mine is a bit... different.

It’s a 2011 Nissan Juke SV, fwd, 6spd manual.

Thanks Tom. it was a long journey. Buying a preowned BMW is next to impossible considering EVERY option is an option. So finding something specd the way you want, is very very difficult. My must haves were xenon and Msport. The only thing I am missing here that I would have liked was cold weather package. But I sold my car privately last week and needed to have a car ASAP.
