125k miles, definitely a "bargain" at 15k Buy it now
Don't forget the illuminated warning arrows on the OBC and the interesting dead pixel formation on the NAV screen. A steal!

I don't mind the side and rear, but the stock 4.6iS front looks better than that.

The warning arrows are probably due to the low fuel light being on and having a 2 mile range. The dead pixel formation isnt exactly dead pixels as they still work. Maybe a delamination of the screen though. As for the price hell thats only a cpl G more than I paid for my 03' 3.0 If I had a choice of the 2 it probably take the M instead.

I dont think it puts up arrows on low fuel? maybe the trunk was just open, also my nav screen does that as well in some spots, some pixels die

Personally, I think the factory 4.6is package looks a lot better and than the "aftermarket aero package" that is on the X up for sale on eBay...and the bull bar is really one of those personal choices...some love'em, and some hate 'em:



And if you upgrade to the aluminum running boards (optional in the USA & standard equipment in some BMW markets)...you get this look...

no wonder i was getting double looks from folks in Moscow driving the 4.6iS... some double looks i did not like, they were from very tough looking guys in other black BMWs, some were more than welcome, from the girls whose legs grew from the necks!!! all because of that movie!!!

i was even pulled over a couple of times by the traffic cops... it was fun to watch them being disappointed, that they had to let me go... hahaha...
