FAQ on Carbon Build-Up Issue (First Attempt) - BMW M5 Forum and M6 Forums

While I haven't seen this car, I know Paul, the seller very well. He is a true car guy and honest to a fault. I'd be happy to take a look for you but his description is going to be accurate to a fault and more informative than any I could provide.

Give him a call, ask questions of him and know, with certainty, that what he tells you is the truth.

Schomp BMW is one of the best regarded dealerships in Colorado as well.

Can't speak for the car but Schomp is also my BMW dealer, they are fantastic.

i would be happy to look at the car for you,
on a side note there are a few bmw shops close by- bimmerhaus broomfield would be a good choice for a PPI, they will know everything to look for.

Does look like a nice example. Still needs a good PPI from a disinterested party, though.

Thanks everyone, very seldom do i get such stunning recommendations for a dealer. Saxen, thanks for the offer, might take you up on it and reccommend a PPI. It would be good to know what i am getting into from the PPI anyway.

Merry Christmas!
