Buying a used BMW then please start your search here. The best deals can be found at the auctions where you will find ex government cars, ex police cars and repo BMW’s. Expect to make big savings when compared to the used car dealers, the claims of almost 90% savings on some models are a reality at times. No cars are immune from repossession with all the popular models available for sale at the government car auctions such as the X5, M5, M3, the popular 3 series BMW and 5 series.  The Z3 and Z4 convertibles will also be found at very low prices due to the downturn in the luxury sports market, the current economic climate has meant that more of these high end performance BMW’s are showing up at the various auctions.

BMW Bargains – The best buys right now are the sports cars, convertibles and performance cars as they have the highest sticker prices and suffer the highest levels of depreciation after sale.  Luxury performance cars suffer a similar fate but they do tend to hold their prices a little better than the high performace sports models such as the M3 / M3 convertible.
