I am looking for a 2006'07 525XI or 530xi. Needs to be AWD. Does anyone have any leads. preferably in the North Eastern USA.
from what I se on fleabay, they seem to be selling around the 30K mark.
Whats a good site to search for some?
Also, does anyone have one that can gove me some feedback?
thanks,
sam

As an X3 owner I would recommend making sure the tranny is not the same as I have been led to believe that they may be. Drive the vehicle first and make sure the shifting and throttle response is smooth like it should be. It might be a good idea to check the Bimmerfest website too and do some research. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/

Try the dealers, you can get 0% or 2.9% financing, 100K warrenty and 100K service . Exacally 1 year ago I got an 04 545 with 30K miles with all of the above for $35K. I would guess a year later and the crappy economy could get you an even better deal. Try Ottos in PA.

I dont really care about the i-drive system. I am more interested in the AWD system. Any feedback on that? Our Montreal winters are HELL, but a cold hell

My co-workers both have 530i(not X) and though its nice feel interior, looks little bland for my taste.
Oh yeah! MPG & i-Drive sucks!!!
