I feel like Michael Maloney might have been GM in Rockville. That's all I have to contribute. Bren may know them.

Edit: Those are good finds. The nice thing abut the 2016 models is they still have the 4 year warranty/maintenance.

Maybe it's a sign I'm getting old... I used to recognize there names of most of the BMW stores but I've never heard of these guys. However over the years BMW has required a lot of dealers to drop their own names and use a geographic name (BMW of "insert city here") so maybe I knew them under a different name.

Thanks to both of you. These are the two vehicles I'm looking at:

2016 X5 50i

2015 with more miles but I don't really care

The price on the 2016 is extremely competitive so I might just call today and ask them to hold it until I can fly down over the weekend or early next week.

I'm going to try to trade in our car which is going to be a major pain in the ass given stupid MA vehicle registration laws.

Catonsville is a MileOne dealership, as was our dealer BMW of Sliver Spring. They were fine.

The older X5 came from Georgia...

I'd go for the newer one. But that's me. Neither one is a great color combo, but both are really nicely optioned. Options/condition trumps colors in used cars. (Sorry to use that word

)

I'm fine with the color combo. I've actually never seen the mocha leather in person, but it'll probably be fine. Black Sapphire isn't as good as Carbon Black but it'll do.

We're on our second Black Sapphire, it's way better, what are you talking about. It's actually black instead of purpley-blue like Carbon.

I made the mistake of asking what he was doing today - which means he'll probably go over there shortly now anyway. Ah to be retired.

I like the purpley-blue!! Not sure how much I'll like the mocha though...

Dude, if he feels like going to check them out, I'm obviously interested in his feedback!

I love Mocha in my X3. It goes well with the gray exterior. I believe it would look good with black too.
