Just happened to see this:
http://atcm.co/VDPTXTSHRE/1FCF9629 Seems like a great deal for a well equipped 335i. Guess my '15 isn't worth much more... |

I bought my first BMW sight unseen 1000 miles away. I was particular with what I wanted namely, Estoril Blue, and RWD, and had 58k miles on the clock. More than I what I wanted at the time. The best advice I received on this forum was the Pre-sale Inspection. Best $100 I could have spent. The inspection didnt turn up anything suspicious but it was the peace of mind talking to the Indy mechanic that it was a solid car.
Mine was not CPO. It's been perfect through 92k miles. I would not shy away from a non-warranty car. This is the best car I have ever owned in every way! Be patient and something will turn up. Good luck! |

I've had great experiences asking local high-end auto detailers to examine cars before I purchased. Those guys all saved me money by pointing out issues that I then negotiated with the sellers to fix. Professional detailers examine exteriors and interiors all day long so they spot issues instantly. In both cases they helped me out for free. I ended up returning to use their detailing and ceramic coating services. Ceramic coating so awesome on a black car especially! |

But what I mentioned earlier is usually the case when the car price is below the market. |

But as far as I know that the car will never be certified if it has a paint from previous repair, That's strange. If you want you can buy a paint tester from Ebay and it will help you check the car paint. When I bought My CPO car, I noticed that they didn't detail the car and as part of a CPO, the car should be fully detailed. I called the dealership and they sent me a $200 check for detail. |

Paint/damage repair does not preclude a BMW from being CPO’d. It should be a high quality repair.

I don't know, maybe it depends on the damage level?

And honestly, a quality job single panel repaint is not grounds for dismissal on F30. Too many other factors. Last edited by AlpineX; 11-28-2019 at 12:20 AM.. |

Bottom line is always let the buyer beware and check out as much as you can independently. Now I still pay attention to what's on a carfax but I know that it may not be complete. |
