Wow, lowest mileage I've seen on an E55 yet... I'd be a bit concerned about airmatic though for a car that's 8-9 years old and has been sitting all its' life..

That is stupid low miles. It is a double edged sward though, you get an awesome car that is practically new when you find one with low miles but on the other hand you have a car that has several issues waiting to happen that haven't been fixed yet. If they have a warranty then that is killer, if not then prepare to have a side stash of money ready to fix the voltage regulator, the crank position sensor, an
airmatic shock or two, an intercooler pump, a leaking fuel sender cap, etc.

Looks to be in really good shape and has a renntech pulley and tune.

Yep car sitting is bad. Friend had an x5 and drove 3,000 miles a year. By 3rd year all seals leaking oil cost was $7,000 to repair power steering, rear main , valve cover, tranny and oil pan. All dried up.

There is an 8k mile car on Autotrader for $56K(!). I know lower miles justify a higher price, but the clock keeps ticking. You're still buying an 8 year old car, and it's now way out of warranty, and still will need all the maitenance. Unless it's a collectible type of car, which these are not, I don't see the point.

Nice car with sweet low miles.

No interior shots except one shot with the driver's side door open / ajar. Tough to determine what options are on this car (cooled seats, keyless go, rear sunshade, dynamic seats etc).

The blacked out tail lights are a matter of personal preference, and I prefer the look of the OEM stockers.
