Very happy with my "new to me" ride.
I picked up a 2012 328i (luxury line) with only 67,000 km, just off lease.
It's in superb condition. It's been checked over by the dealer.
It's fully loaded, and quite frankly, I'm still learning how to use everything!
The dealer installed 4 new tires.
It also came with 4 winter tires mounted on very nice (too nice) BMW alloy rims with only 3200 km on them (basically new)
new rubber matts, front and back
new complete front brakes
new wiper blades
new driver's side tie-rod assembly as it was found to be too tight when performing the alignment. Laser alignment is bang on
It is fully up-to-date with servicing.
I am told that I can go 18,000 km between oil changes, but I might do it more frequently.
It's white with black Dakota leather interior and Anthracite wood trim. Very sharp.

Here's why I had to get a new set of wheels (the car/transmission never drove the same since!)

Is there a spec list for the Luxury Line? I want to know what I have on this thing
I know it has the Nav system, rear back-up camera, Harman Kardon audio system, elec adjustable seats with lumbar and memory, rear split seats with fold-down cup holder, etc... but I'm sure there are other surprizes.

Congrats!
Sweet ride, sure you'll be happy with it.
I found a handy VIN decoder tool that lists all the options that came with your BMW, even in German

Happy to report that at 80,000 km or 13,000 km since CPO, I have had zero issues. Very happy with this car! I am thinking of an oil change this month even though the car is telling me I have another 13,000 km to go before the next oil service! Considering I do about 90% highway, and I am running at or below 2000 rpm, I don't think my oil is getting too beat up.
I did have the cabin air filter replaced (ouch) and I also had the brake fluid replaced as per scheduled servicing.
The original owner (lady driven) gave 3 of my 4 rims some curb rash... so I had my dealer repair them. Honestly, I cannot believe how good of a job they did. Apparently, they repair hundreds of rims each year.
It seems this car is getting smoother and smoother the more kilometres I put on it.
As a show of total OCD, I washed my engine yesterday... looks so good now.
