Ended up not buying the car after driving 12 hours round trip.
The car was nearly perfect in every way but at one point it looks like somebody gave it a massive driver side door ding on the crease. Looks like the original owner (not the seller) took it to some monkey PDR guy and made it look 10x worse. I could spot the damage about 20 feet away. I'm OCD when it comes to my cars and to make it perfect and up to my standards I would need to have body work done, either replacing the whole door shell, possibly the door and repaint/blend etc. Went through this same exact headache back in the days when I had a massive door ding on the crease of my 335i, the paint and texture was never the same. This ordeal was something I was not willing to repeat.
Sucks big time! Took the wife and kids with me as well, at least we got a road trip out of it and got to see the Golden Gate Bridge.
