"BMW" 2004-2009 "M-5 E-60 PARTS! CALL WITH NEEDS!

Anyone here? Just seems a bit suspicious to me. The way the interior parts looks... The brakes look rusted but new. (indication of vehicle sitting 60 days outside)

No real indicator of specific year... Just a range from 04-09. (There's no 04 NA model year). And vehicle appears to missing a front driver side panel and more than half the car covered to hide something...

Monte Carlo Blue is the color it seems. Just being vigiliant and want know if it's an another board member.

Maybe it's a totaled car that is being parted out?

Brakes look rusty after water hits them. Once brake pads make contact with rotors, the rust vanishes. Check your brakes out next time you wash the car.

The seller stated 'Free Local Delivery' so if you are a local then there's nothing to worry about.
