Default Help ditching the Bimmer?

I just can't justify paying the lease on my 330xi considering how little I drive it. A mere 28k kms in over two years just seems like a waste of money and a car. Someone should be enjoying this thing.

So, up for lease-take-over or sale is my 2006 330xi. A mere 28k kms and loaded to the gills with every option except adaptive steering and park distance control.

This means it has...

Nav with display and latest i-drive (which isn't TOO bad)
HK Stereo (stunning)
Comfort Access (walk up - open door - drive car, no remote fumbling)
Sports Package, firmer suspension - 17 inch wheels
Sports Seats (MUCH better than base)
Terracotta Leather (Sexy compliment to Sparkling Grey Mettalic paint)
Burled wood trim (MUCH better than the ricer faux carbon or aluminium in the base cars)
Adaptive Xenon lights (yes, they turn with the steering - very helpful for country driving)
Uprated, Euro style rear lamp assemblies (unique, pretty cool looking and MUCH safer, since the turn signals flash YELLOW instead of red (which should be frickin' illegal if you ask me)
Factory alarm (not yet installed, brand new in box)
Six speed and a remarkably good AWD system

This car has NOTHING to do with the base 3 series cars you might have seen/driven. The loaners I get during service can't hold a candle to the performance or opulence of this car - so if you're thinking, "That's a lot of money for a 3 series" please consider - this is a LOT of car. : )

Now - BMW has been taking good care of this car. Warrenties covered a brand new set of Bridgestone runflats, brand new, redesigned door handles and the goofy service guys broke the windsheild while servicing it one day recently - so it has a brand new windsheild too.

So - anyone either want this - or have any tips on passing the lease on or selling it?

Lease is approx. $1200/month for one more year or a buy out of $54K.

Thanks,

RK

That sounds like a totally awesome car. I have driven a base 3 and the 330 and you're right, it's like night and day. I will keep my ears open for you!

That car is simply beautifull... at $1200 a month it would make somebody very happy.
