Havent decided if i should go CPO or Buy from a non BMW Dealer and get an aftermarket warranty. Thanks for any help.

Hey man, wassup..... I would go with a 530i instead and would definately go CPO! You get a dealer warranty for 6 years or 100,000 miles. The cars are thoroughly gone through to make sure they qualify for CPO. The others are quite often auction cars that are questionable..... Good luck on your hunt, Brad

I would go for the 530i or above and CPO. The 525i won't give you the power you may need. Good luck.

530i all the way, with a BMS powerbox, RPI ram air and exhaust, K&N filter, and you'll be a happy camper.

Do not get a 525i, my dad has on 06 model and it is dull. There are so many deals out there I am sure you can do better...650is, 535is, 550is, 530is

Thanks for the advice guys. What about the 528? If I do decide on a 530 will I have to worry about any HPFP failures. I know they are common on the 535 and 335. Much appreciate the advice.
