Does the 5 look brand-new, while the 7 does not?

Go with the 5 if both of the above are true.
Neither are CPO, which isn't a major deal as my average time in a car is around 14 months (bought the 335 back in December of last year...I get bored easily). I believe the 7 has been in a couple accidents. One with minor damage to the rear, and one to the front right. I believe that is the reason for the pricing. While I havent driven them, if it feels solid I wouldn't turn it down just because of that. Like I said, I always buy cars from this same guy so whenever I go to upgrade I always get a fair trade on my old one and no sales tax. Thanks for your advice!

So my question is, did you want something bigger or not?
If you want bigger, then go with 7.
Both are great cars - but I would go with the best warrantied unit.
NOTE: Black / Oyster is stunning!
I'm still relatively young (20's), but the e92 is troublesome on the few occasions when I want more that two people in the car. Thus me not NEEDING the extra space, I don't have a family or baby to cart around. I do want something bigger, the question is how big. I think I will need to drive them both to really answer that. As for the warranty, won't likely come into play as I am in and out of cars usually within a year. My e92 has only managed to hold my interest for 10 months.

And yes, the combo on the 7 is the biggest problem, if you can call it that. I have always wanted an oyster interior, probably one of the biggest selling points over the black/black 550. I prefer more unique colors in my cars (currently in a LeMans/Saddle e92).

Thanks for the input, much appreciated!
