Worthy of an "Easter Egg" classification?
I'm puzzled now! Did you sell or consumed it?

So, my CarMax Easter eggs for my E86 (several of these I found months after purchase):

- ill-fitting POS aftermarket engine oil filter (i.e. not a MANN or Mahle OE/OEM) - and only God knows what oil CarMax used and how much they filled the sump with; I changed the oil right away after my initial 200-mile road trip driving home from CarMax
- low coolant level
- crease in right front fender above headlight
- incorrect sized battery and completely missing vent tube*
- Engine air box half-full of shredded newspaper (from Cincinnati, OH) and shredded fiberglass insulation. A mouse made a nice home for himself in there
- Broken-off storage door pin that closes the interior cubby light (behind the seats)
- Cabin airfilter nearly fully clogged with decaying leaves and Poplar tree seed
- Loose-fitting passenger-side B-pillar trim (**tabs broken from the audio system install I'm guessing)
- Bondo on inner right front bumper

* a missing battery vent tube on a used BMW is the tele tale sign the car was not maintained properly by a BMW tech/enthusiast.

Good easter eggs:
- **the PO had the audio system upgraded with an amp, speakers, and subs all from JL Audio (I knew this going in because there is a small JL Audio button sticker on the instrument panel next to the traction control button)
- it had a fresh set of Pirelli P-Zero's RFT
- CarMax brand front license plate holder (but I like it, so BFD); looks like the plate is floating in front of the bumper

Yeah, CarMax has a 100-point inspection by "industry experts". LFOL.

I second that that you are the winner! AND the fact that Steeler doesn't remember whether consumed or threw it away, well......
