Hi all. I just joined up. Without going into too much detail, I have a love of cars. I'm not very handy, but I love to drive and even just look at different cars.

And I'm basically looking for the perfect all around vehicle.

Fast
Snow capable
Good looks
Luxury and comfort
Relatively innocuous but still "nice"

That about sums it up.

So when my BMW dealer called up with a just in used (4,500 miles) 17 50i very loaded, I jumped on it. I negotiated a few bucks down and put a deposit sight unseen. Of course, I can get this deposit back if things don't go as planned upon seeing it, or they don't give me as much as I want for my trade.

I still think I paid a few grand too much. But there are no real comparisons out there. I found a similar mile, similar build 16 for about 5k less. Or double miles 16 for 10k less.

I'm ok with paying a smallish premium for the 17.

All that said, still debating a new RRS. But that sticks out like a sore thumb. And this saves me near to 20k, and I do love the vehicle.

M Sport
Executive
Lighting
Enhanced USB
Sport suspension
Dynamic handling package
Cold weather
Driving assistance plus
HK radio
And all sorts of "lesser" options.

Paying 80k even. Is this a fair deal? I realize I can order one for 10k more. But this seems like a nice way to save some money and still get a super car.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
