Did they show you the itemized bill(s) for their $6000 reconditioning? Demand it.

Did they show you the CPO checklist? Demand it. Ask them how they justified checking-off the panel gaps and painted panels. Were you able to view the CPO checklist I linked?

You had it inspected by a bodyshop. Did they perform a formal inspection, or a fast casual look-over? Did they find any evidence of previous work to any inner (non-bolt-on) panels? Did they paint-gauge it? What was their opinion?

If you are truly dis-satisfied, you will have recourse. The dealer should figure out how to either explain things to your satisfaction, make things right financially, or unwind the deal and return/exchange the car.

Do you know anything about the history of this car? Was it purchased at auction? Was it a trade in? Was it previously leased? Did they buy it from another dealer where it was traded?

I agree with Wayne. The M5 is different and you should have reason to be particular.
