Possible 4.8is Purchase... Help & Info Request

[crystalworks]

Okay guys, so I've sold my 4.4i and am eyeballing a 4.8is. I have found that I love the e53 platform but want the "ultimate" example of one. #becauseYOLO. Anyway, need your opinions and, if you live in San Jose, CA, a visit to the dealerhsip to look at the car would be extremely appreciated. I realize this opens me up to being sniped on the vehicle... but I'd really like to have someone check it out before flying out there from Texas and seeing it without at least someone who is familiar with X5's checking it out. We all know the dealership sales guy isn't going to know anything.

Info on vehicle: $14500 2006 4.8is w/ ~91000 miles. Imola red w/ cream beige interior. Cold weather package, nav, tow hitch (unknown if factory), side sills, and the best part Dinan stuff. Unknown if it's a full Stage 2 Dinan... but it has a lot of the gear on it. It looks pretty clean... I don't know what to make of the Beyern roundels on the wheels though, are they reps? Only thing I don't like is the comfort seats. I'd much rather have sport... but what can you do.

Now, I'd much rather buy this type of vehicle straight from an enthusiast with the service and ownership history of the car... but this one popped up and I just don't think there are going to be that many opportunities to buy a Dinan modded X5. Please let me know what I should expect and if you are able to help with seeing the car, or know an independent I could possibly hire to do a PPI on it.

Thanks in advance for any help and info. If it gets sold/sniped I guess it just wasn't meant to be... and the search will continue.
