Hi,

we are looking to replace our current 2012 X3 35i and get the M40i, I found one, it's 2020 X3 M40i, 10k miles,, executive package, front ventilated seats,, it has all the options except m adaptive suspension and wireless charging, should I go for it or keep looking? price is decent as well (I think) 49k

Thanks

Is it CPO?

Not sure if you're wedded to buying CPO, but you may want to at least price out buying new. Between MSRP discounts and incentives, you can probably pay 3-5k more and buy new. Everyone has their preferences, but I started out considering CPO and ultimately justified the price difference to go new. Plus, if you're not in a hurry you could spec exactly what you want (adaptive suspension comes highly recommended around these parts).

Finally, if you plan on having it as long as your 35i, having a car that you know was properly broken in, etc might be worth the difference in price.

There are a couple of dealers here in the Portland, OR area that are 2020 X3MC selling for ~$70k, new. Blue exterior, one with black interior, one with Tartufo. Yeah, 20K more than the one you listed.

For 10K more (received 10% off MSRP plus incentives) I got into a 2021 X3M40i nearly fully loaded and had it built to my SPEC and will be picking it up from PCD in SC next Friday. Also the ventilated seats are not great, you may not want those. Try test driving both with and without and you will be surprised how much better the non vented seats are.

wow that's a steal, which BMW dealership was it?

I'd be careful of the ventilated seat option. A lot of complaints on here about the comfort with those seats.

BMW of Annapolis. I could not do the deal since I had a trade and they killed me on trade. If I was going a cash offer I would've done it. But instead I did a custom build and doing a Performance Center Delivery.

Keep in mind MD has a dealer processing fee of $500.

Since you kept your last one almost 10 years, if you go for new without a great deal, its ~18K more amortized over 120 months which is about 150 a month. So that is the decision you have to make.

Would I do it? You bet, this is my 1st BMW and I got just about the same deal (demo with 6,000 miles) but I'm already thinking to trade her in next year for one that got everything I want. As mentioned below, I wanted ventilated seat, but a lot of people find out the hard way that you loose the sport seat when you pay extra for ventilated one

I would suggest that you wait to see what the 2022 will be like (maybe ventilated sport seat like the M version) and then either spec a 2021 to your liking or wait for the 2022.

Ventilated seats also lock you into black seats only.

[sinbad4]

Agreed.. Watch out for the Vented Seats.. many, many people unhappy with them. Search forum.

to me black seats are my favorite so I'm ok with it but will need to check the ventilated seats to see if I like it.

The other big problem with the ventilated seats is that the side bolsters are not adjustable. They don't give you enough lateral support, you'll be sliding all over the place when you're cornering

Is this a 2020 thing because I ordered ventilated beige for 2021.

I don't know. Never looked at a 2020. I know when you build one and select ventilated seats Black is the only option.

You can do ventilated seats in Beige or Black. Load the config, select Beige Vernasca and select ventilated seats. It will let you keep that color and it will show in the render. If you try to get Oyster or Cognac it will remove the ventilated option. It just defaults to Black if you have either the Sensatec seats or have the other two colors selected when you choose ventilated seats.

Finally! It only took them 3 years of hearing complaints from
customers to post this warning.
