New owner - 2019 430i Gran Coupe
I picked up a 2019 430i Gran Coupe "Executive Demo" about 2 months ago. This is my second BMW as I had a 2005 Z4 many years ago. I switched from a 2014 Lexus IS350.
The car is Sports Line, Mineral Grey with black Dakota leather with red stitching. Has Convenience Package which include heated seats and blind spot sensors, also Driving Assistance Package. I enjoyed my IS350 which was my daily driver for 6 years. The car was fun to drive and mostly reliable. I had a few issue with it being first model year of IS3. Battery would die for no reason. Had 4 batteries in the car in 6 years, all under warranty. I was concerned with the downgrade from 302HP to 248HP, but I love the F36 so far. Power feels different but on bar with the IS. I did a some reading about ""Executive Demo" cars before buying the car. The car is in new condition in everything. I bought it in 04/2019 and it had a manufacturing date of 10/2018 so it was six months old and had 11k miles on it. The car was CPO'd by the dealer which included replacing 2 tires. I am the first owner per the paper work as the car was never titled before. I get full warranty minus 6 months plus the extra 1 year for CPO. I am also eligible for free maintenance as I am first owner. The Executive Demo seemed as a good deal as it was $18k below sticker. Last edited by AlexTheMan; 07-11-2019 at 02:57 PM..

Wow 11k miles in 6 months!!! Never heard of executive demo's probably out of my price range anyway when I was shopping. Decent discount. Car looks good. Congrats.

Congrats and welcome! Good decision on buying an executive demo. They are some of the best "used" BMWs out there.

Thanks everyone. To add to johnung's comment, the trip computer was never reset for the car over that 11k miles. It showed average gas consumption of 31 mpg which is much higher than my current average. It seems like it was mainly highway miles in ECO mode!!
