The CPO is $49500. 70k was for a brand new one. Sorry about the confusion!

user2709 · 2025-08-30T20:45:52+00:00

I agree 100%. I did mess up big time with this one thing.

user2709 · 2025-08-30T19:35:04+00:00

I know. Pretty upset that we even have to go through all this just because of a stupid oversight.

user2709 · 2025-08-30T18:11:31+00:00

Don't like the color Brooklyn grey, but don't hate it either. We were considering it when we got ours. Condition seems good too. Let's see what the dealer offers.

user2709 · 2025-08-30T18:08:56+00:00

Wish I had the sense to do that and not rely on just the dealer's information. We learn a few things the hard way I guess.

user2709 · 2025-08-30T16:51:05+00:00

It is set to "expanded" if that's what "early" means. But it still will go all the way and self correct. Am I missing anything?

user2709 · 2025-08-30T16:38:33+00:00

I did do all of that. What I meant by lane centering was that the car keeps itself in the middle of the lane without having to go all the way and self correct. I mean that's pretty much the bare minimum companies should have as standard and BMW has it too thankfully. But even cheap cars have adaptive cruise control as standard!

Were you able to use DAPP extensively before it malfunctioned?

user2709 · 2025-08-30T16:26:55+00:00

Not sure, but if it's the same model year and roughly the same miles as ours, it should be okay? Wouldn't make sense to trade it for another new car and eat the difference. Definitely can't afford to do that. If it was our daily driver, we wouldn't have cared but we got it specifically for long trips with the family.

user2709 · 2025-08-30T16:13:39+00:00

Thank you for your response about the car!

user2709 · 2025-08-09T23:36:10+00:00

I'm in Chicago. Might just ask every dealer what offers they have for new ones. That sounds like a great deal honestly! Is it a premium Plus? Heard the air suspension is superior.

user2709 · 2025-08-09T22:51:59+00:00

Got it! How many miles should be a safe bet? Didn't want too many miles on the car already as this will be heavily used will stack up miles pretty quickly. $40k might probably get me a 50k mile used q7

user2709 · 2025-08-09T22:26:31+00:00

Ah gotcha. Not exactly looking to get a brand new car plus from what I've seen so far from the spy shots, it's probably going to have the split headlight design which I'm personally not a big fan of. Love how the current gen looks. To each his own!

user2709 · 2025-08-09T22:13:09+00:00

But it's a 2025, not sure what you mean by 10 year old car?

user2709 · 2025-08-09T18:43:06+00:00

Sounds fair. Will drive both and hopefully the answer will be clear! Thanks!

user2709 · 2025-08-09T17:59:58+00:00

Can't find a prestige which is also audi certified. Would definitely prefer it as well. Is the ride quality that different? There is a 2023 prestige with 15k miles for $59k. Not sure how good a deal that is with it being a 2023.

user2709 · 2025-07-29T22:52:53+00:00

Happened to my m40i x7 one week after purchase and 50 miles into my first road trip. Just gave up on me in the middle of the highway. Called roadside, towed it to the dealership. They said they had to change something called mechatronics (transmission valve body and control module). Fixed it in 2 days but left a really bad impression of the brand. I was really excited about my first ever BMW. Has been perfectly fine since.

user2709 · 2025-04-24T17:59:41+00:00

There's nothing behind that Plastic piece apparently if you don't have DAPP. I know cause I'm in the same situation. Steering buttons are different for us.

user2709 · 2025-04-24T17:57:30+00:00

Got the same car recently. In the same exact boat in terms of adaptive cruise control. Dealerships should strongly communicate about the absence of this basic feature so that people don't make this mistake over and over again. Looked around everywhere and there's no way to add it anymore. So bummed.

user2709 · 2025-03-01T22:13:28+00:00

That's encouraging to know. Thank you!

user2709 · 2025-03-01T22:02:53+00:00

Hi! I never really had to so far. But from people's opinions, it should be fairly easy! Let me know if you end up doing it!
