Google it....
But yeah, you get so much more bang for the buck buying used. My first road bike as a cheap-O new one. My bikes since then have been high-quality used ones. Get a top quality used one. It will add to your cycling enjoyment and make you want to ride more. It won't make you any faster, but you'll feel as though you are.
Normally I would say go with the used one but if it is your first bike the new one might be better because the lbs will size you properly and do a good fitting.
BMC does make a beautiful bike. There will always, be better and worse riders than you so don't worry about your riding ability and your bike. It's your bike and you should enjoy it.
