I bought it as a second had car, off a consulate in Sydney. It is a real eye catcher and many people comment of its good looks. I bought it in Sept 07, 27K km on the clock, Im surprised that it just sits there without any takers. I wish I had only paid US$35K for it here, we are in the $50K range here in Australia for a 2nd hand car ( 3yr old), and US$85+K for a new one. Keep looking, I know I do every day I pull up the roller door to drive to work. Ive got one exactly like you all talk about, here in Australia.

I think they're actually asking a pretty typical used price at this point ... low-to-mid $30k's I believe.

No wonder it never sold. Some guys just don't know how to order inventory. That's what makes cars sit for so long on the lot. $53 GRAND for a 530i in 2004!? No wonder it never sold.

I'm surprised they haven't moved a 5er after that long. My family just got $5,000 off of a 528i, brand new...makes me wonder what the dealer is doing wrong? funny – I look at the used lot of my local BMW dealer and I’ve seen a lot of the same cars sitting too.
