Drove a 2006 3.0i today

[imalabil]

My wife has been bugging me for an E70, but found an E53 in the Chiagoland area for me to check out. White with tan interior.
It drove well and the body was in great shape, but radio pixels were out and oil was on the stiffening pan - an oil filter housing gasket would likely have been in my future. No way to tell if the CCV had problems or not.
$14,400, 100K miles. A few other trim pieces were missing - ashtray doors, cargo net anchor covers - but nothing serious. Funny, though, the power recline rear seats only worked from the cargo switched, not the c-pillar switches next to the seat.
It would probably need to be in the $12K range for me to be interested.
