Hey guys,

Found a 2011 X5M in black that my family is thinking of purchasing. The price seemed "too good to be true" 9700 miles for $42k. Upon further research, i found that the car fax shows "inconsistent odometer reading." BUT, after doing a couple calculations, i realized that it was probably because it was all being recorded in KM, and then the new owner recorded it in miles (did the calculation, and came out to the exact number). I dont see why anyone would roll back miles on a car with this low of mileage anyway-- so i'm thinking it was just a clerical error.. Obviously there is something fishy about this car...located in Rochester, registered to Ontario..

anyway, i'm only about an hour or so from rochester, i may try to take a look. My dealer ran the VIN and said that its still under warranty. I am planning on taking it over to BMW of Rochester to do a full analysis, check for odometer rollback, etc.

Am I being stupid? should i just stay far away from this vehicle? or is it something worth looking into?

I attached the carfax.. it was given with the car, so dont worry, i'm not stealing!
