Here we go again, grab the popcorn. Sad to see people picking these up just to flip them.

They were probably just taking advantage of a friendly dealership. Noticed the dates were right before the factory warranty expired?

Diff leak isn't unusual on this car. Not common, but not unusual. HCG is rare but its also a very common failure point for almost all BMW engines made up to now. I suspect the first owner has a very good relationship with his dealership and got them to proactively swap some sh*t out. I was able to get my dealership to swap out my power steering hose even though it wasn't leaking to the extent that it requires a change. I just pointed out to them that it was sagging more than usual about a month before warranty expired and they took care of it.

3 bids total and already at $25K. Makes me feel better about the one I picked up last month.

I wonder about all the heavy duty maintenance work too. Perhaps the car saw track time?

I bid on that car as well but (obviously) lost out on it in the last few minutes. I ended up finding another one locally but I've already subscribed to this auction to see where it ends up.

"Carbon fiber trim tape was applied to some pieces of plastic trim."

Is it just the cupholder? Anyway, that's kind of cool, haven't really seen that before.

See some on the cupholders, sunglasses holder door, and parking brake 'cubby'. Seems it might match well with carbon leather trim.
