Thumbs up

Congratulations!

Mid $50's is a great price for that configuration even w/ 30K miles. I bought a 2005 Launch Car (#337) in February in pristine condition w/ just 9K miles for $15K more. I had the selling dealer throw in new PS2's on the rear. I'm loving it even through I might have over paid a bit.

Make sure all the factory recall items are taken care of. That includes new exhaust tips, a new air box and oil fill assembly, etc., etc. The recalls depend on your VIN. Since it's a 'Launch Car' I'd suspect it in the low numbers.

Enjoy!

Honestly

The money you spend on gas going to the dealer back and forth with your trade-ins would've bought you a CGT by now. Congrats!

I thought for '07 it is a 535i with the new 305hp turbo engine?

Sounds like you got a great deal on the 997S- enjoy it.
