alright time for a stupid question. what does CPO mean, and what are the benefits of it? I know it's corporate something, right?

[Jon K]

certified pre-owned. means it still has warranty and dealer inspected the car.

[angrypancake]

oh, hell, and here i was thinking too hard about it. thats cool though. mmmmmm red 6 speed

I thought it meant something like corporate lease return or something too for the longest time. Then one day I managed to see the relation between the letters CPO and Certified Pre-Owned.

[angrypancake]

thats what i thought too! corporate previous owner or something.

And here's a 2005 330 with 15k miles.

I only mention these cause I think they are cool cars and manual transmissions. I don't see many manual tranny bimmers come through here.

This 330 with the performance package has 10 extra HP. This car has also got some Dinan Mods on it I'll have to look into. It's not on the front lot yet either.

The normal 330 you may know has 225 HP, the PP 330 has 235 HP. And add the Dinan stuff, it should have 335+ HP.

This is an '05 and prolly will not be very inexpensive.

I'm interested in the price of that puppy and where do I email my SS# for financing. Also, I don't think my Peake tool will work on that, how much for you to smuggle the service departments computer in the trunk?? J/k but I am seriously interested in the price.

With CPO, how does BMW do there financing?? Many car companies give you better terms with a CPO.

[Jon K]

Ed, the PP 330 is the ZHP right? And I think you mean 235 hp not 335 :)

[Tiger]

What is it with all black leather interior??? Let me know if armored BMW shows up... used that is

[InfernoM3]

Do you have any pics of these? What dealer are you in and where in Chicago. My parents live there might be interested.

[hakwuzhere]

Ed, where are you located at? I have a friend looking to spend 30k on a CPO 5'er, preferably a 540 6spd... hes torn between that and a C32 AMG...

Im trying to pull him to the BMW darkside :)

[Bimmer Nut Ed]

I edited my post, you are correct, 235hp with the Performance Package (ZHP) on the 330.

Thanks for noticing.

I can get pics of all of these. I work at K nauz BMW. In Lake Bluff Illinois. By Lake Forest, just south of Waukegan, North of Chicago for all those who've never heard of those suburbs.


You can PM me or call me at 847 283 6707

And as far as armored Bimmers, I've not seen any in the whole year I've been here.

'05 3's do not have any special APR's on them. '02 and '03's have 3.9% financing. Most all new bimmers except the M's and the 6-7's have 2.9% APR financing on them till the end of the month, yes, tomorrow! They may be extended but we don't know yet.

You can apply at www.knauzbmw.com, on the left side where it says "financing form". Only fill out the form if you're serious, cause you don't want your credit to be checked for no good reason. Your credit will get "dinged" so to speak.

I will follow up with a price.

I remember reading about BMW's protection package on the 7's, it seems they are re-purchased by BMW to prevent drug dealers, terrorists, typical bad guys from using their product and giving BMW a bad name. I don't think you'll find them on the lot.

[peks]

did you see the price? only $299!:D

[dacoyote]

did you see the price? only $299!:D

Yeah.. the price is what makes a differance...

[Bimmer Nut Ed]

You did not see where that $299 Benz only 6 inches long and made of plastic! LOL See, buy a bimmer, they are for real.

Oh, BTW, I can sell Benz's and Land Rover, and Buick and Chrysler too for that matter.

But I can only sell the used Mini's. They say you have to go to Mini School before you can sell Mini Coopers! wtf

[dacoyote]

LOL....

to bad I bought a house... or I would prop be up to bother you...
