New 535i owner

Hi guys,

A few months ago I received an email from BMW stating this was a good time to trade in my 08 X6 due to high resale values. I ignored it and chalked it up to basic marketing hype.

Then a few weeks ago I read where the X6 is in the top 10 list of cars for resale value.

I thought hum, could this be true?

So I decided to see what it would fetch. I was stunned that a 4 year old car with 40k miles retained a whopping 70% of its value.

I was even more stunned at the price on got on a new 2011 535i. I paid less than a comparably equipped 3 series and even beat European delivery pricing.

I will post pics later.
