Hey guys,

I am from the West Coast in NorCal and have found an 07 E91 MT I am considering to purchase and bring back home. The car has 33k miles, had rear bumper replaced due to minor accident. I am planning to have her for a few years but am worried about rust issues. Car is I believe in Ann Arbor. So my question is anyone close that can check her out and also any suggestions on RUST?

TIA

if only a few years, don't worry about rust - there's a warranty protecting against rust that will last longer than you keep the car for.

good luck!

So what about fasteners, bults, exhaust, etc? Also, will this affect my resale value in 2-3 years? People I talk to get scared of North/east cars...

For the most part, you shouldn't be scared. Also take into consideration the way you take car of the car. So, after you buy it, and you take care of it... It should be okay.


I'm sure someone nearby can take a peak at it for you!!

Pretty sweet car. Do you need it to be an xi? Pricing guru's will probably chime in but I'd offer 22 and go up to 23.5 or so.

and i'll take the brushed aluminum trim !!!

I am in negotiations with seller now. I am hoping to strike a deal by end of this week and send a deposit to hold car pending inspections, etc. I am planning to buy car sight unseen so will have to rely on your eyes and judgement. This is awesome!! Stay tuned

If you guys want an impromptu meetup in AA before/after/during checking this car out for this guy, give me a shout. I'd love to meet a few people and shoot the shit about BMWs before the other Michigan meetup in 2 weeks.

I can't really help cause I don't know much about checking out cars.

All I learned from my CPO buying experience is that now I understand what it means when you're comparing a new vs. used car. I always figured CPO was 99%, but I learned it definitely doesn't mean that... And with the CPO warranty excluding so much... I'll definitely look for private party next time.

Anyway, post up for a meetup!

I'm down for whenever Saturday.

I've joined the TSE group, and am looking forward to meeting up with everyone. Maybe I'll just meet up with you then?
