Thoughts on my recent BMW purchase

texastuna · 08-16-2019, 02:00 PM

What do you guys think of my recent purchase:

-Purchased a 2014 BMW X5 xDrive 35i earlier this year.

-Paid 31k cash at no haggle dealership (Godspeed Motors)

The car was purchased out of state (NC) and i had it shipped to TX. Shipping was ~$600.

I had been scouring the internet for a certain combo (xline, metallic blue, xdrive, low miles, h/k)

Finally found what I had been looking for and pulled the trigger.

Specs: Imperial Blue Metallic, 20,000 miles, single owner, clean carfax

Features: xLine, DHP, H/K System, DAP+ (no ACC), Cold weather, rear manual shades

Ive really liked the car, however I really dont like the fact that it does not have the premium package which for 2014 included soft close doors, 4 zone AC, and comfort access. Also wish it had the upgraded seats with cooling. Im running the risk out of warranty and I did not purchase an extended warranty.

What do you guys think of this deal? Would you have bought as well?

Price for mileage is good.
Options for price are good.
Model for price is good.
History seems good as well (single owner)
Line for price is OK. Could score one higher.

Overall it sounds more than reasonable to me.

Any history of accident ?

yeah i thought it was a favorable deal, i looked up the previous owner he is an app developer living in downtown Chicago which explains the low usage. no accidents

Seems good to me; I have the soft close doors and comfort access (which I disabled). I wouldn't miss either in any way. I don't have the cooled seats, (which I would prefer to have) but so long as you are happy with the rest, not a deal breaker to my mind...4 zone AC is over rated unless you are always carrying rear passengers.

I say, sit back and enjoy the ride

I would not miss soft close doors at all if i didn't have it on my next bmw. They still close like normal doors.
Unless you're carrying adults in the back, why even get 4 zone?
The seats would be nice.
Comfort Access is nice, but could live without.

The conlcusion of this thread will be that M-Sport is a must, everything else you can live without...
