I am looking at picking up a 2011 M3 Sedan with Competition Package and DCT in either Blue (Interlagos or Le Mans) or Mineral White. Unfortunately, there are none within 200 miles of me, so I had to cast a wider net. I also have my 2007 335i that I would like to trade-in. I am sticking to CPO since a warranty would be included and there is less worry buying at a distance (of course I would inspect personally before signing).
From the KBB values, the car should be about $51K or less with most options. I was wondering if anyone has any advise on questions to ask, places to look, or any general recommendations? I also wanted to trade in my 2007 335i if anyone has pointers, since I have only bought new in the past.
Right now I have whittled it down to a few cars -
does anyone have any experience with these cars:

There is a model out in Habberstad, NY, which sounds like it was tracked, so I will likely stay away for now (unless someone can convince me otherwise, since that one is asking higher than the others).
