My ex owns a mercedes/beamer shop and did all the maintenance on my old benz and even on my 4runner
will be booty calling him if anything goes wrong

most important is who owned the car, & second to that, the quality of construction of the car. As you are looking at BMW, the quality is solid. Its the previous owner you should be most concerned about.
given that dealers have little to no knowledge of previous owners, then you must look at the quality of the dealer. You must buy from a solid dealer that wont rip you off, or bullshit some reason they cant honor a warranty. Most dealers are shady as fuck. so you need to be careful about who you buy from.
& dont force yourself into a decision you are not 100% on. There are always more cars coming up for sale, every week.

agree completely, this is an actual bmw dealership and its in beverly hills, they have great reviews and the sales rep has been super helpful, I haven't even been up there yet and he's ran all around the lot just for me LOL I feel a lot better going with the certified pre owned on the 2011 because it covers me for 6 years and another 50k miles, whichever comes first
