One note on the non working radio
The amps in the rag tops are susceptible to water damage due to lack of drainage in the battery well where the amp lives
If the system is the"top hifi" the amp new is over $1k

My .02 look for a 3.0 6 spd, manual top under 100k miles......can't go wrong

The 06 has a clean Carfax and looks clean from the pictures. The one owner lived in Jacksonville so I'll be calling the local BMW dealer to see if I can get any maintenance information before I get to the dealership.

Thanks for the reassurance, guys. I like the idea of having a newer car with a bigger engine and the 6spd is a plus. The only downside besides the miles is the interior color... Blue. I'm not sure if I like it yet so I'll make up my mind in person.

Updates in the morning...
