GL, bump
Yes, even a drive by would help

Flying up and driving it home will cost me tax in Indiana @ 7% and then HUT (Highway Use Tax) @ 3% in North Carolina. It it's shipped to NC then I save 7%, airplane ticket, gas to drive, miles and time.

I have little faith in a PPI, even from BMW. My current X5 was "inspected" but they missed the leaking vacuum pump, leaking power steering hoses, folding mirrors which unfolded by themselves, missing cup holder tabs and defective CD changer. I'm open to a recommended shop, but would trust an competent E70 owner more.
