Do you know if the car has been in any front end accidents before you owned it?

Seems weird, unless in your particular area has a very high salt concentration from ocean breeze/waters etc even then doesnt add up too much as im sure people on this board that live close to the coast would have same issues..

Me and a few other e53s drove our cars through some salt water a long time ago and everyones frames and undercarriage parts are black as the night- no rust. Adding to that we live in the northeast and the stuff they put on the roads in the winter is probably 20x worse then some ocean salt water.

I know they dont however me being anal i jack my car up in spring and pressure wash it all underneath- during the winter stages i do run it through a touchless wash that sprays the undercarriage down as well however thats a quick spray and not thorough.
