I just bought this one with some minor damage. A day or two (or a couple weeks) and it'll be as good as new. Hang in there....

wow. minor damage is relative, i guess. does the repair cost come out of your pocket? i assume your purchase price plus the cost of repair you'd still come out ahead if you bought one undamaged?

I am sorry, but must ask: Was he aware and familiar with Active Steering? It can be very troubling if you over steer in slow places. Even after 9K miles, I am still very cautious in tight parking spaces. I am always afarid I am going to clip a rear wheel on the curb.

Good luck, that's why God invented insurance companies.

Ray Hull

yes, of course he was aware and familiar with active steering. everytime he drives another car he has to accustom. the way he had to drive was quite small - too small for the E60 as you can see
