Is this m235i for sale a good one?
I went down to Seattle to check out a white M235i and felt a little too suspicious about the door gap on the left side.
The first pic is the left (suspicious side). You can see that the gap is a little too wide in the valley. On the right door, you see that the gap is nice and tight all over. What do you guys think? I don't think the door was loose open. |

A PPI would certainly be a good idea (not the dealer who is selling the car). A good body guy or mechanic can probably tell you in 5 minutes how much work was done, once they get a good look at it. You might also get some idea from one of those paint-depth gauges, but not always (and I haven't used one and DK how expensive they are).
Now I gotta go out to the parking lot to stare at my car some more to see if my door coves line up.... |

I ended up asking the dealer and they admitted there was a low speed accident. I looked these guys up and they have a hit and miss reputation. They have 4-5 reviews of them buying clean carfax cars with huge unreported accidents. I'll look for other options until I consider them.
