how much time left on the CPO. that is a good price. i bought an 06 CPO with 24k in august for $32k after trade. great truck. my wife loves it.

around 60k miles you will need to replace the boots on the front axle. the factory camber in the rear tends to eat tires. much more here www.X5world.com (http://www.X5world.com)

the dealer told me that there is still 2 years left on cpo..the truck has nav and i think its kinda weird that on a 2006 bmw they have a cass. deck and no cd player.do you think it would be worth it to go for an 07 ..about $6000..anything else i should be worrie-d about with this truck?

Advantage of the 07 is improved front suspension, significantly more hp whether 6 or 8 cylinder, and its a new body style with more room. Resale will be better.
