^ this.

drive one. different animal. it isn't the smartest to drive 10/10ths handling on the road, but you'll find areas to use 10/10th acceleration

2006 E55 Opal Black
Cannot comment on the Canadian market, but in my recent scenario:

Insurance company totaled (flood damage) my near perfect 2006 M3 Convertible, 22k miles, Carbon Black Metallic, six speed, cold weather, Xenon, CPO w/scheduled maintenance and provided me with a check for more than what I paid for my nearly perfect 2006 E55 private-hand with less than 30k miles with pano, satellite radio, VCS, Xenons and park distance.

I am assuming your car is a convertible which make it worth about $25000 to them. Those are the Manheim numbers. So I think if they will do 5 to 6 and your car, I would be all over it. White with pano is hot and next to impossible to find. You wont be sorry coming out of that little 3 series.

why? 5 year old car with 55K is only 10K a year. Assuming it was put in service in late 04, early 05.

just need to make sure it is CPO'd or buy an aftermarket warranty to protect yourself

90K kilometers isn't much for a car, my a4 has 230K and still going strong....

90K km = 55K miles

Has the worse ad ever, how does a dealer justify taking 5 pictures of a car and all with crappy angle and wants 32K too in this economy. Civics on Ebay have more pictures.

The E55 is a 2004 not 2005 if that matters. $32,900 is too much even for an '05. Beautiful sic looking ride.
