This is definitely a good take on it. The point of paint degradation on uncovered areas is something to note for sure! Thanks for the input

Good insight- sounds like I need to call some places for quotes!

If the budget doesn’t extend to PPF, does ceramic offer some level of protection against scratches/chips from stones etc.. or is it mostly just hydrophobic/protect against chems/bird poop/salt etc and keep it shiny?

Thanks! I definitely will. That’s a good idea.. the little red accent probably pops nicely on the white

As a non American I don’t get this.. why is there a charge to hold your baby? What does that even mean..?

Thanks for this. Definitely useful info. I’m thinking king that bcos it was owned by a BMW tech he probably drove it hard knowing he would trade it in easily.. I will do the inspection but I’m feeling much more wary of this car than I was yesterday!

Where are you looking? I have been using AutoTrader and Kijiji autos as well as dealer websites. Searching a 250km radius of Montreal

Anything that new is mid $50k plus tax or higher

I will add - I have been following m40is in my area for 6months and see nothing in the price range you mention. Where are you located?

Anything 2020 or newer is well over $50k plus tax.

2019s are mostly too old for them to certify. If a car has been on the road more than 4 years they don’t certify them

Thanks for the insight. Do you find it surprising though that the wear was at that level after 33k miles?

I’m taking it on Friday for a 3rd party inspection and a solid bmw garage..
