So tempted....

If it wasn't bright red it would be mine. http://www.exotic-motors.com/detail-...-11897587.html

I had a bright red e46 for 10 years, the color now hurts my eyes.

This e90 had a minor fender bender and it was subsequently CPOed. 21,000 miles?!?!?!?! $14,900?!?!??!

You don't need all that. That is what your iphone and the aux is for. Mp3, Google Maps/Tom Tom, phone calls, etc...

Nothing against anyone witha red car but yea I'm with you on the red.
I dunno what happened but so many years ago I started to hate red cars.

I guess a red Ferrari is OK though.

if it was me i would say no way to this car. The mileage is suspect. My dads friend buys cars that no one wants for dirt cheap and repairs them over years. Thats why the mileage is so low when he sells his car. THe car sits there for a while.

Also the driver door looks mismatched

By the way, I purchased my car form this same place and they are reputable. That doesn't mean someone may have tampered with the odometer.

Also, pretty hard core that you can tell the door is mismatched! I can't see anything! Naturally, I would give this over a hard look before pulling the trigger.

On the e46 red is beautiful. The e90 is a little too big for bright red. But hey, to each their own. If I never had a bright red BMW I would have jumped at this.

This is what is great about this forum. Everyone is passionate about BMW and can give you an opinion about what they are passionate about. I would never have spotted any of that. Fixing it, sure I can give pointers, but if something is misaligned by 2 mm, I would not be able to tell. In this case, I would not be able to tell the different color shades.

By the way, go to the detailing forum on here and you will realize you were washing your car incorrectly for years.

I just looked at the driver's door again, I see it, it is mismatched! Great eyes!

It appears to be the entire back half of the car is repainted, sans the trunk lid.

And the driver side door.

Look at the color difference in the gas cap, from the rear fender.

The front door is just a by product of the lighting I believe.
That's interesting, the door and the back half appear to be the same color. The front of the car and the rear door also appear to be of the same shade. I guess seeing it in person may make a difference.

Paint mismatch every where. The rear bumper looks flat, not glossy.
No idea what happened to the stereo knob, looks strange.
Driver's floormat looks really abused for 21k.
Bare bones 325i.
Pass.
