Trying to get a 5 series..

[saifsiddiqui]

Just wanted some opinions on the particular 5 series. It's for my Dad and he needs to have CPO and xdrive. He was going to get a 528xi but I'm trying to sell him in this 535xi. What do you guys think?

I think the car has already been sold. Just an FYI, the 535 has experienced some fuel pump issues and is the subject of a recall, so you'd want to make sure that any 535 you're considering has had the remedy already applied.

Although the 535xi is more fun to drive. I would choose the 528xi over it because of the hpfp problem in the 35 engines. Get the 528xi with sport and cold weather. It's all good!

A better option is to step up to a 530xi. I'm not sure what year they started making them, but I have an '07. You should be able to find one pretty loaded for under $25k.

We're trying to take advantage of the 0.9% financing through BMW. I looked at some 07 530xi's in the area but didn't come across anything that I thought was better than this. Im looking for a 5 series around 30k miles or less, xdrive, and preferably twin turbo ;-). Also, looking to stay under 34-35k after taxes. So if you guys come across anything, help me car hunt!
