I wonder if BMW USA monitors this board? They'd be dumbfounded to know that I traded my 05 M3C last weekend for a 2006 X5 4.8is only to find the M3 listed on their website a few days later as a CPO vehicle when I KNOW that it was hit at least twice! It also has several non-BMW parts on it as well as a warped Euro cross-drilled rotor in the front.

It's even listed on the CarFax website! This normally would not bother me except that my 4.8 is also CPO'd. Now if this nonsense goes on with a car like mine, I wonder what anomalies I will eventually find on mine.

I did open the intake box to find the air filter had dry rot around the edges of the filter. I brought this to their attention and they said it would be fixed. I also pointed out a poorly fixed 4"x5" dent in front of the driver's side rear wheel well.

Anyone else run across stuff like this?
