Thinking about picking up a E92 328i... am I getting a good deal?

Hey guys, long time lurker. Great community, thought I'd pick your brains a bit.

I'm trying to get myself into a 328i coupe and found a couple that I like - just trying to gauge your feedback to see if I'm getting a solid deal.. I've thought about swinging for the fences with a 335i but at this point, I'm looking for something with a bit more stability/reliability and a solid commuter that won't get me into trouble.

Are there any "must-have" options besides the Sports Pkg I should really look for? Any big issues I need to keep an eye on?

1.) 2007 328i coupe AUTO with just 19,000 miles - Premium Pkg (what's in this?), Cold Weather Pkg, Sports Pkg, Adaptive Xenons, Moonroof, Heated/Powered Front Seats for $25,000.00

2.) 2007 328i coupe AUTO with 34,239 miles - Sports Pkg, Push Button Start, Interior Woodgrain Pkg, factory NAVIGATION, DSC/TC (aren't these standard?), not sure about moonroof for $23,000.00

3.) 2007 328i coupe AUTO with 21,000 miles CPO'ed from dealership - Moonroof, Sports Pkg, Sport Suspension (doesn't this come with all sport suspension packages?), Aluminum trim and CPO for $27,000.00

Any input? Suggestions? Do I have room to bargain?

Thanks in advance

they all seem like decent deals and if thats the lsit price, you will always have some room (some more than others) to negotiate, of the 3 above, id go with #1, # 3 and then #2 in that order. Good Luck and make sure you run a car fax report before buying.

I'm assuming 1 and 2 are NOT cpo based on the pricing? I'm looking very hard at a cpo 07 328i coupe...28k miles, $26.9k. Sport/cold/premium packages, manual.

I think I'm really focused on the manual transmission in this car. I just think you need it to really extract the power from this motor. That said, I have not yet driven one with an auto. Good luck!

Correct, the first two are NOT CPO

Good luck to you as well!
