i went to check out the car and hes saving it for me til monday, we agreed on $29k OTD.
here is what i found wrong with the car..
-the door wont unlock on the driver side door when you push/pull on the inner part of the door handle, works on all other doors.
-the dome lights dont come on when the door is opened
-the parking sensors or distance lights doesnt seem to be working properly, when i put in reverse only 2 of the red lights come on the ones closer to the middle of that light bar (not exactly sure whats its called), when i put in driver and pulled up as close as i can to the car in front of me the lights on the dash board werent changing it was only those 2 same red rights.
so should i buy the car or not?

Car sounds like it has problems...but if you can get em taken car of - go for it. Just hope they dont keep coming back 
It took me over a half a year to find a white one/pano etc. Chances are you will not stumble upon another white.

Yeah i wish i was able to find a decently price white E55 when i was on the search for one. Arrange to do a PPI, pre purchase inspection on it. Little bit of money out of your pocket up front but well worth it in the long run IMO. When i finally found the one i wanted, it cost me little under $300 at a MB dealer to do and took about 3hrs for them to thoroughly go through everything on the car. Good luck.

Lol. I had no idea my color/option combo was "rare". Hahaha
I may be wrong here, but aren't the parking sensors only for when the car is backing up and the front sensors should only work when distronic is being used with the cruise control, right?

Distronic is completely independent of the front parking sensors. The front parking sensors work the same way the rears do.
