I bought the same thing in December, only without M Sport and with Dakota leather instead of Nappa. I love it. My only recommendation is to jump when you find one, and cast a regional net. I found mine after a couple weeks in December. But I still check the market every once in a while and I feel like it's harder now than then.

Good luck!

Is it CPO? Are you purchasing from a bmw dealer? If so try to get the service history.

I have an 18 msport as well just no driver assist.
Mechanically very sound. I had 2 warranty items. Dash ambient light replacement and lower shutter needed to be replaced

visually check front bumper for road rash. These cars seem to attract rock chips.

Have you had it from new? Good to hear that you haven't had any engine related items. I feel like warranty is mostly needed for all things electronic.

Agree on the chips. Windshield chips easy too.

No I purchased CPO last summer with about 29k on the odo. I really love this car. Has the right balance of power /luxury etc. for my driving needs.

Couldn't agree more. Looking forward to our road trip to the beach later this month. It makes road trips more enjoyable for sure.

I predict you will love it. I have the Nappa upholstery and it is a world better than the Dakota (which I think is actually worse than the Sensatec).

Picked up 18 540i with only 15k miles instead with full dealer history (oil changes mainly) doesn't have the ACC but have the 20" wheels with the M Big brakes. First thing I'm digging is the Lci taillights.
