WTB, Imola/Caramel M5 with less than 60K miles

Preferably 03 because I prefer 03 headlights and DVD NAV, and because the car is younger.

Older MY's are OK, as long as it has been properly maintained and wasn't abused and put away wet.

Um, frame? So there was an undisclosed accident? Carfax ran clean.

That's why I think CarFax is a POS resource. I used AutoCheck by Experian and it came up as a damaged frame at an auto auction.

Hey, long time no chat. Been busy with baby stuff and am finally needing to buy a sedan. The E30 is a little cramped for a baby seat plus the both of us, and the GT2, well, baby seat's not even an option.

Hopefully I will be able to find one soon.

I have heard this about carfax before, but you'd think that with what their warranty implies they have at stake, they would have to be more accurate! They probably have an out somehow that it is the owner's fault for taking their car to a body shop that does not contribute to carfax or some such crap why they can't be held responsible. I'll have to make sure to use them (autochek) on my next purchase. Thank you for the hard facts to support why carfax just doesn't give the level of comfort it should. Hell, you pay for information and then it's wrong.gheez.
