Need to make decision this week - Update

Thanks for those who responded last time when I asked this question. I need to make the decision this week.

Can anyone tell me what the current trade (or auction) value is for a 2006 BMW 530xi wagon, 40k miles, with premium and cold weather packages? My wife's lease is coming up and she really likes the car and would keep it and drive it for another year or two.

The lease buyout from BMW is $26,500 and the price to buy it from the dealer certified is $29,500.

Not sure if it makes sense to buy this one, certified or not with 40k miles on it or should I find a year or two newer car with lower miles. Thanks for the help.

NADA doesn't have the Premium or Cold Weather packages listed so their clean retail price is $28,600. Clean trade in price is $25,875.
