Wasn't this the guy who made all the posts on like every single model forum about Ghassan and how they did a crappy job? I remember specifically him mentioning something about the Ghassan guy being into 18 year old girls or something....I remember because it was such an odd post to say something like that about someone who was repairing a car. It obviously implied there was some bad blood there...

Even if it was a different guy than OP's seller, I know someone on here trashed Ghassan for something like this on here so I wouldn't be trusting their work.

Was this the nardo that was on eBay for quite awhile?

thats why you always call two dealers for a history as i stated before.

but thats water under the bridge now, live and learn.

Here is the Tred link. Car looks sharp! For the right price that is. Now sure what it's exactly worth though. Could you buy an aftermarket warranty for it?

Mileage is listen at 5800. How the heck did he manage to blow his engine so quick? And why tune the car so early into it's life.

you just said it, tune.


at least he actually came onto the forum and admitted he blew his motor. Imagine all the others who have blown and are hiding in the dark.

I've modified every single car I've owned and luckily, all issues were regular breakdowns. Nothing serious. Belt snap here and there, O2 sensors going bad. Nothing of this magnitude. Hopefully I won't be a statistic with my first M car.

87k?! You should be able to find a low miles, zero stories car for that. That's nucking futs. Happy to hear that you were able to get out of the transaction.

Not true, if you get the right person to do the work and give them clear scope on what you want them to do. Sending a guy from the dealership over to do a quick look over and data download is not a sufficient PPI. A PPI can be way more involved than that and a competent mechanic should be able to tell whether the engine has been out of the car or not, if they look hard enough.

id refuse to accept delivery of the car and demand a refund as the purchase was misleading and not true to add. Surely you can get your money back??

There are over 100 '18 and '19 M5s on Autotrader right now. Some examples:

'19 157 miles, $86.9k
'18 1,837 miles, $87.9k
'18 1,953 miles, $88k
'19 2,211 miles, $82.8k <- this is a $114k MSRP car!
'19 2,479 miles, $89k

And these are asking prices. Actual sale prices on these cars will likely be $3-5k below ask. There is no need to buying a car with stories unless the price is crazy good.
