Hey Rick, I never did brief you on that underwhelming 318is we looked at last weekend. Here's what I recall:

Only about a third of the dents that were actually there showed up in the pics he sent. LOL
Only about a third of the upholstery tears that actually were there (3) showed up in the pics he sent (1) LOL
Tie rod end boots cracked/torn
CV boots torn
Eibach Red springs with stock shocks
Ricey exhaust with a bad resonance at 3-4k rpms (est)
325E instrument cluster--> wrong redline, incorrect rpm reading
Tires at end of life
Wrong size spare tire
Unknown age battery
HVAC controls not reliably operable
Some surface rust around doors
Transmission output shaft seal leaking

He was a bit surprised when The first thing I did was pull out my floor jack, jack stands, flashlights, and slip into my coveralls. i didn't even drive the car until I spent 30-40 minutes looking it over. After I talked with him about all these issues, he still felt his car was worth $6-6.5k. LOL
