The not so good:
She's a 10 out of 10 from 10 feet away. Paint has no clear coat fading, but here's the following:

- Bottom of front bumper has scuffs
- Rear bumper has touch up spots from prior back up dings but isn't the best job
- Passenger bottom rocker panel has a small dent & also has touch up spots that aren't to the best quality
- Driver front fender looks to have a dent that was removed with PDR but slightly shows the correction
- A pillar & B pillar are a bit tired
- Rear Headliner starting to sag a little
- Volume knob is inop. Control volume thru steering buttons

Keep in mind. It's a 20 yr old BMW with almost 160k miles. The caveat is the car drives absolutely fantastic. Mechanically sound. Absolutely no leaks. This is a driver's car.
