Well, the time has come, I am very close to getting my beast. I'm looking for a CPO 03 M5 with less than 35k miles. There are a few that i'm looking at and I want to find a place that will do a thorough PPI once I finally select the one I'm going to purchase. I was wondering if you guys can reconmend any places in the Los Angeles area. The few dealers that I have called said that it costs $120 which takes about 1 hour. It costs an additional $120 to check for faults. I was under the impression that in order to do a thorough check it should take 2-4 hours and checking for faults takes only a few minutes. The ones I'm look are in the valley and San Gabriel Valley. Any advice would be greatly apreciated. I really look forward to joining you guys in the near future
