I don't know the details but let me tell you that I definitely would NOT buy this car. Maybe in 10 years when it is $5k, but it probably still demands a pretty good price - not worth the risk if you can get a no-stories car elsewhere (how about from a private 1st owner!) for about the same money.

Part of the pricing on it is because it has 2.5 years left of BMW CPO warranty on it, combined with the mileage (and the unfortunate dealer profit). From a private seller without the CPO, it would be about $5k less.
BTW- in 10 years I doubt it will be worth $5k. They all sell for more than original MSRP now, 4 years and maybe 25k miles later. They only made 740 of these for the US. Part of my logic for buying a 1M is I expect depreciation to be minimal. I don't think its gonna be worth MORE, or even the same, but if it only loses $15k of value over the next 6 years that's really not bad at all.
Assuming for a moment that you bought into my financial assessment, if a PPI shows no bodywork and reveals no issues, and you at least have the piece of mind of a real warranty, would you still bail? I'm trying to be disciplined...
