Yeah def what Marcus said....
Though that mileage is not unheard of...I think that will be your ,major obstacle.
Not only are you looking for a rare car, but a rare car w/ low mileage.

With that budget you can actually rule out 2004 cars - and go for mid/late 2005 and 06 only - that way you can def. get the leather M steering wheel and avoid alcantara wheel troubles. I think it's possible to find a 05/06 with less than 30k with $25k.

I'm with wash, of course. You should be able to call the shots here.Originally Posted by Washburn
I know you are essentially looking for a car with half the mileage, but I'll throw this in just in case.

Looks like my search might be over. I put a deposit down on a 2004 Imola Red 330i with 16,500 miles; final purchase price of $22,100. I know I paid more than KBB, but hard to negotiate when the stealership knows it is a ZHP and you call the day after it is listed on Autotrader and ten minutes before they open. Purchase is pending PPI.

Anyone have any recommendations on independent mechanics in Phoenix? I'm thinking of using Bavarian motors LTD or Babbit Motor Werks. Need to call on Monday to see if either has time do it.
I know someone I trust for a PHX recommendation. Will get back to you.Originally Posted by Go Horns!
Thank you. And thanks for telling me to be picky on the miles.
