Greetings all, new to the forum and a new owner of a 2004 545i Sport recently purchased. So here's my story... I purchased the 2004 545i from a BMW dealer here in Chicago. The can had approxmiatly 39,300 miles on it when I bought it which was about 2 weeks ago. During the course of driving it up till thursday a this week a number of issues have arisen as follows:

1) DSC Malfunction- Apparently the owner before had this issue at 11,000 as he left a service reciept in the manual, but BMW never fixed as they could not replicate. Now I have a faulty sensor Update: Replaced sensor.
2) Driver's cupholder was sticking real bad. Minor but still annoying. Update: Replaced cupholder
3) When turning left there was a clunking noise. Apparently some kind of stabilizer sensor issue. Update: Replaced steering rack.
4) Rough idling. Spoke with technician and said if it had been sitting on the lot for awhile it could have caused this.
5) CD in dash skipping when going over bumps. Update: Replaced in-dash CD player.
6) Front A pillar on passenger side fabric is starting to come off. Update: Ordered new front pillar.

So keeping all this in mind I looked at the CPO certified checklist and am wondering how did all this get past the certification process. What do you guys think?
