BMW Selection

Thread Starter 
The white one has very low miles but no navigation/idrive, costs a bit more. The charcoal one has navigation but twice the miles, however it will cost about $1.2k less. They are both completely stock, one owner. If I didn't list something, both cars share the same value so its null. Which would you choose? (Pictures for color reference only) 1) 2006 BMW 325i, alpine white exterior, black leather interior with woodgrain trim Premium and cold weather packages 17k miles, warranty, mint condition $22.3k 2) 2006 BMW 325i, arctic metallic exterior, charcoal leather interior with silver trim Premium package and navigation 35k miles, warranty, mint condition $21.1k

Nav is pretty much useless. They have this awesome thing called maps and "sense of direction" now. I think you should wait a year and get a 335i sedan instead. Or spend the same money on a concourse-quality 3.0 Csi.

Alpine White is one of the best colours BMW offers, and it doesn't even cost extra. I highly recommend it.

Even though I'm not a huge fan of white cars I would go with the white one. The mileage difference is pretty big, so IMO that will make it a better choice in the long run.

Spend the difference on clothes and your mistress.

The white one. But my BMW's white so I'm kind of biased.

I'm not a fan of white cars, thus I recommend the charcoal but not this one. Find one with fewer miles. By the way, nav is a good thing to have, even if it's a portable aftermarket device.

Wait for a 335 or get an e46. The 325 is really a very uninspired car and a step back from an e46 330. You might want to find an '05 330 ZHP sedan for a bit more money unless you really want the new body style.

The low mileage one for sure.

And navigation? Handiest device ever made. Wait until you have a detour or road closure and you have to thread your way through an unknown area. Single most useful feature for it IMO.

Definitely the white one, for the low mileage even though white is the most boring color. GPS is indispensable to me, you can always get a portable aftermarket one, although it doesn't look as cool as the integrated factory built-in.

Used BMW's are all over the place. You cant find a used 3 series with the mileage and specs you want?

Definitely go with nav even if you have to add it later on. Anyone who says nav is useless has never owned one.

I hate white cars but i hate getting one with a lot of mileage more.

Unrelated, but how much are 2007 325 convertibles going for?

I voted white but after more thinking I decided charcoal. Sure it has twice as much miles on it but if its in good condition, saving a grand and having navigation makes up for it.
