For an example, for more than twice your offer here, I purchased an '04 just 5 months ago from an enthusiast dealer. He hit all the right checks for feedback, pictures, records and accessories. Once all of that was done, the last thing I needed was to travel and see the car in person before I drove it home over 2 days. If your market for buyers of a nice E53 is reflected in the membership here, you can add one more who would likely not have made the trip for this one with some of the responses in reviews.

You have an opportunity to listen to the feedback you've solicited here and take action on it differently than is currently reflected by previous reviews. A little tough feedback applied ever so gently can be the key to your success not just with an E53, but more likely across any item that your hard work represents, BMW or not.

You do understand that the member made statements that were completely false in regards to the vehicle/advertisement as reasons for why the car may not have sold, right? Call it combative if you want, but im simply responding to someone who didnt read the advertisement correctly, or in even its entirety, and then wants to cite false reasoning as to why the car is not worth asking price.
