i thought (naively) you could get an e90 325 for 31k?

or is that for a phantom car that will never be found on a dealer's lot?

your CPO car must be LOADED.

I think mine has all options except Nav. You're right, I could have gotten a stipper E90 for low 30's, but I'm just not as excited as I thought I'd be about the E90. I think it's a nice car, and I'm sure I would be happy with it, but I just don't get that "wow" feeling like I do when I look at the E46 coupe. It's just a matter of personal preference.

And two big things about the E90 that steered me away. I don't trust run-flat tires and I want a dipstick to check my own oil. But mostly, I really just wanted a coupe, and this was about as new as could be and equipped exactly as I would want it. And at such a good price, I jumped on it.

Of course, I'd really love to have a 130 with the M-Sport package. Sigh.

You don't get a dipstick on the E90?? I'll bet that's an America-only deal.

No dipsticks. And apparently the oil level sensor is prone to failure.

Nice combo.

Again, I'm really glad I'm leasing.

They are just trying to make people like ZBB redundant.
