Well, the interior seats are up-side down, same goes with the front seats.





That would make it difficult for driving, and uncomfortable for passengers

Anthony,

Thanks for your interest in the car. No fender benders or any accidents...clean carfax report. I bought this from Flemington BMW and it was a certified pre-owned car. No issues since I have had with the exception of regular serive. I just had two tires but on it at a cost of $950 and the other was replaced within 6 months. I have had it 2 years and only put 9k on it. I work in Manhattan and do not trust my parking garage so it stays at home in the garage.
If you want you can come see it. I have three other cars in a 1 width long driveway and the BMW is in the garage currently. There are no dents in the entire car and no rips/stains/holes in the interior. Very clean car just need to wash it...little dirty since I drove it last.


This is the email he sent me. It seems legit..

Can you request your local BMW to run the VIN and provide any information about the car to you?

Perhaps it was in an accident, and was rolled when the pictures were taken???

+ 1 and a personal inspection might be helpful. Otherwise, call his dealer's SA and ask about the car and what repairs have ever been done.
