We love seeing oddball specifications here on AutoSpies. But, if I am honest, we truly appreciate the good ones.
The bad ones? Well, they're interesting at least.
Submitted by a Spy, we've got what I think may very well be the WORST used BMW on the market today. A BMW 530e xDrive, it's the plug-in hybrid 5-Series. If that weren't already bad enough, it goes downhill REAL fast from there.
That's because it is extremely well optioned, which means the price gets awfully high. The icing on the cake, however, is its rather noticeable paint job. Special ordered from the factory, it's a shade of pink or purple. It's tough to accurately see given the images were shot on what seems to be a rainy, fall day.
This is what jeffgall noted in his submission:
One of the local BMW dealerships has been trying to find a home for this special order Purple BMW 530e for some time.
From what I can gather, it appears it was ordered by BMW of America based on the Carfax title issuance in Woodcliff Lake, NJ. Guessing it was used for publicity or demo uses on the West Coast, given its service record. Somehow, it found its way back to the East and is now up for sale as used.
At that price, I am guessing there are few who value the color as a plus. So the question is, with only 1,617 miles, how much off the sticker would it take you to drive this everyday?
So, Spies:
What would it take for you to take this baby home?*Special thanks to "jeffgall" for submitting this magnificent find to us! Keep 'em coming, Spies!
