It has a salvage title...but only because a snowplow hit it while parked this past January and the cost to replace the HID lamps, both front fenders, hood, and bumper were apparently more than that car was worth. NO structural damage at all.<br /><br />Catches? Well, it's a 530xi Touring, so no turbo. Second, it's located in Connecticut. The car is owned by a fanatic. Third, it has 160K miles on it...but like I said meticulously maintained. Let me know if you want me to put you in touch with him.Ed Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-89955624092040575702015-05-15T17:23:40.061-07:002015-05-15T17:23:40.061-07:00Yes...but the $$$ of repair!!

What can I say, I can justify every nutty decision I make with some half-assed reasoning.Maxichamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08565255540275138635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-49048011290641168792015-05-13T20:01:27.970-07:002015-05-13T20:01:27.970-07:00Good choice.Good choice.ANFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831588315282165888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-16708549183204849392015-05-13T19:53:47.507-07:002015-05-13T19:53:47.507-07:00Looks like a bigger car than you originally intend...Looks like a bigger car than you originally intended?mtcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-36411082427504030512015-05-13T19:21:46.880-07:002015-05-13T19:21:46.880-07:00Certainly ticks a lot of boxes.Certainly ticks a lot of boxes.Lukashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114535234649759362noreply@blogger.com
