Default A new car in my garage - 2018 BMW 430i Hardtop Convertible

My wife purchased this new 2018 BMW 430i Hardtop Convertible this past week.
This new 430i has a lot of new technology as we began to look at it.
Its has the twin turbo 2.0 inline 4 cylinder which is surprisingly quick and has the "xdrive" technology providing all wheel drive performance.

We got a 8 year /60,000 mile warranty and a 3 year / 36000 mile service plan and BMW financed it at 1.9% matching the rate we were pre approved for by our credit union.
Some say a new car isn't a good investment and I dont disagree but we do plan to own this into our retirement years and move with it to a warmer climate one day.

It has replaced her 2007 BMW 328i Hardtop Convertible.
We got 160,000 miles on the first one so decided to move into a new one.
The 328i is now for sale asking $6800 which is the current KBB selling price .

Great looking car. The Turbo 4 is more than enough engine nowadays. Good luck with selling the 2007 car.

Our 2007 BMW 328i has been SOLD !!
2 Guys drove 3 hours all the way from Springfield, Illinois yesterday to purchase it.
All cash sale and all bills verified as good currency.
It served us well for over 7 years and 130,000 miles 😊
