I have been looking for a well-equipped pre-owned E90 BMW 3 series with a manual transmission for some time. I had actually identified a good deal on a private-party car a couple of months ago, but the deal fell through.
Today I bought this car. (EDIT - link deleted by the dealership)
2006 330i in Monaco Blue over black leather. The car has 6-speed, Premium, Sports, and Cold Weather packages, plus Comfort Access. Basically has every option other than iDrive/nav, Active Steering, or rear sunshade, none of which I would want. The car has only 12,800 miles from a single owner (it was originally purchased from the same dealer who sold it to me).
Although the ad doesn't indicate it, the car is Certified Pre-Owned, and has a 6-year, 100,000-mile warranty, plus two years left on the original BMW warranty and comprehensive free maintenance package. I got them to throw in (literally and metaphorically, as they require dealer installation) Sirius satellite radio and a security system (for some dumb reason BMW doesn't include one as stock) - these together total about $1200 installed - and got a very fair trade-in on my old car (2001 Nissan Maxima). Also got 4.9% financing through BMW, and will receive an additional $500 rebate through BMW because I am a member of the BMW Car Club of America. Woohoo!
