Honestly, I think the only bad parts are the spoiler and the grille. Other than that I think it looks good. And if it really is as fast as the ad says it would be a great car.

Agreed. I see small issues easily replaceable.

The only concern I have is he is touting this as a really fast car and there are supposedly tons of Kleeman bits, but not ONE pic of any of it. The car looks clean other than that and the aforementioned rice bits. Still a bit leary of this one, guess a gut feeling?

Why buy a car like that modded to the hills that can break down easily and cost you a fortune when you can buy a factory amg that is quality and reliable?

I wouldn't, but that's me. I have enough of my own ideas that I don't need to correct other's mistakes. Although, one shouldn't wave the quality and reliablity flag to freely because not even AMG's are without problems.

Some car appearance mods can be tasteful, but honestly I think the most beautiful these cars ever are is 100% stock, stock wheels, nothing touched. At most a nice tint, but stock makes them authentic. They are already good looking, understated cars - adding big rims and shiny stuff won't make them standout like a Lamborghini, but only devalue their appearance, In my opinion.

BMW 7 series
that car is selling with 44k miles

yet the report shows that in 2006 it had 89,000 miles and almost 4 years later the report shows 95k miles... even if the seller didnt put 44k miles, its still very fishy that the car only did 5k-6k in 4 years!
