Yes, cold weather package is required to get the 60/40 split fold down rear seats in the E90. Only the coupe has them as standard. Also will be taking retirement and moving to the mountains....but it does get cold here in North Texas. Nothing like Boston but it all depends on what you are used to.

Are you ready to buy a car without looking at it ? Are you ready to give me like $2-3k cash deposit ? Are you aware that there is no guaranty that vehicle is 100% perfect ? Do you know that you will loose your deposit if you dont pick up the car ? I AM NOT A DEALER. I DONT GUARANTY ANYTHING. THATS WHY I WOULD PREFER TO SHOW THE CAR IN PERSON TO THE BUYER. ^ DONT ASK ME TO LOOK UP CARS IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THE ABOVE EDIT: Cars that need some work done (some major, others just need a good detailing) will cost less then the ones that are already perfect. Big name dealers like to buy perfect cars because they can immediately put them on the lot for a higher price. Would I buy say 2008-2009 BMW with 10-15k miles without looking...YES, would I buy 2006-2007 BMW with 40-50k miles without looking..... NO....< unless you have some skill to fix minor issues (detail the cars, replace some interior plastics etc) and are not picky. AND IF YOU WANNA RELY ON ME TO LOOK AT THE CAR, TEST DRIVE IT, AND INSPECT IT.....THATS A WHOLE DIFFERENT SERVICE WHICH USUALLY COSTS MORE. Last edited by Kolyan2k; 05-20-2011 at 10:08 AM.. |

How much will be for "turn key" service. The goal will be to buy something in good condition to drive it back 3K miles to Cali (just land and pick up the car) |

I wish I saw this earlier. If anyone is looking for a better deal or potentially wants more car for the money than this could help alot. You should have the funds easily available and be willing to possibly tinker with a few little things. You could easily get lucky and not have to do anything. Or just pay the extra money and have the OP look into the car for you. this is an awesome service and could save some money. You should also have a realistic idea of what you want to spend. Just bc its for sale at an auction doesn't mean its a good deal. As someone has said "looks like the auction prices are skyrocketing" there is alot that can affect this game. A craft best left to the professionals. Still tho I wish I knew about this but luckily I found a deal of a lifetime. I had to buy my 08 335xi coupe blk/red 50k manual $25k sight unseen but it was sooo worth it. I could have had to do some work tho and it still would have been worth it to me. Good luck

I'm pretty interested in this, but I am just a lurker. I live in Medford, just selling my car to a friend, but not in a huge rush to get a new one. I'm looking for a 07-08 335xi gray, silver, blue, or maybe black with black or grey interior.
