Picking up my 2017 540i Today!

Lease is ending on my X5 and I decided to buy and hold something more conservatively priced to ride out the recession. I found a certified 2017 540i with 26k miles with the following:

Carbon Black
M-Sport
Bowers & Wilkins
Mocha Nappa + luxury Seating
Driving Assistance Package
Dynamic Handling Package
Premium Package
Soft close doors, rear sunshades, heated front seats, gesture control, CarPlay

Paid 36,800

Hopefully the tint will be done today and I can go get it. Glad to be back in a 5 series!

Once you've really had a chance to listen to it, I want to know if the B&W sound system is worth the money. I can't imagine it's that much better than HK but I don't know.

The same dealer had some with just hk for only a little bit less. I listened to both and it was worth the price I paid.

I downloaded some lossless music and it sounds good. I have untrained ears though. Spotify and hd radio are improved as well. I could definitely tell there was a difference in clarity.

If I were buying new at $4200? I would have saved my money and done hk and gotten other options.

That's an insanely good deal for the mileage and the options! So jealous cause I can't find the DHP at all so I've almost written that off as a likely feature on my future spec. B&W too. Enjoy the ride!

I wasn't exactly looking to do the 5 series, but when I saw it and the price listed, I had to! Prices on used have gone up since then it's quite odd
