In Germany it's pronounce B M V. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wjvV34UIuI They would be better off buying a brand that is the same price but a lot of less mileage and a lot newer.

NO chance of the German pronunciation catching on here in the US. FYI, the German pronunciation of AMG is, I am gay.

I can remember buying and trading baseball cards where I learned "BUYER BEWARE". Unless we are incapable for some reason, that insight is ingrained very early on.
I can also remember driving 60 miles to Detroit to buy my first car off a dumpy used car lot. I knew before I left I was going to buy the car and when I saw things I should have been concerned about I invited the salesman to convince me they didn't matter and to keep me emotionally involved so that I completely discounted them. I'm not alone in that scenario and that won't change. There have been times when I did everything right and everything went wrong. Odds were certainly better that I made a good purchase but "sh$t happens". It's interesting to read the posts as folks are noticing stuff in the pictures that I didn't initially pick up on even owning a 4.6. so I am even more aware of how difficult it is for a lay person to make an informed decision. We don't even agree. Personally, I wouldn't bother challenging seller ethics and wouldn't make a buying decision on whether or not I could hook up a scanner or rev the engine to 7000. I wouldn't let anyone off the street hook up a scanner to my X5. I would never think of free reving my X5 to 7000 let alone allowing someone else to do so. It would be entertaining to hear what the sellers say about input and requests but I wouldn't be surprised if, regardless of the results, we don't all agree on go or no go.

I remembered Top Gear episodes where they found old used luxury cars for a pittance. So on a lark, I checked out BMW and Mercedes only to find that I could get a similar year car with more features and LOWER mileage for the same price. For example...this 4Runner has 99k miles and is $17k.

We were just picking it apart because the ad looked shady, the car IS shady, and the dealership turned out to be shady. We are BMW enthusiasts... if it was a near perfect car we wouldn't be picking it apart but saying how good of a deal it was.

I meant, I felt bad for the guy looking at this thread in hopes of finding a 4.6is. Like I'd led them to a tainted fountain.
I like Bcredliner, own one and didn't look hard enough at the pics to see what you guys did. I love knowing about thst little yellow light though. That's really cool to know about. I think for $4-5k, it'd be a great 1st car for a highschooler with a grease fetish and expendable income. College kid, no way. Young parents, nope. Guy wanting to add an s62 or LS, definitely a go. The rig looked pretty pristine on the outside.
