For sure. That's what I'm leaning towards. The C55 is much more rare and it does come with a monster V8, but something about just doesn't seem right. It went to the dealer for an electrical problem with 5K on the odometer and it's had 3 owners since. Checks out in Carfax but there's still gaps in the history.

On top of that, I've always thought bmw's were some of the best "driving" cars. Had a 97 328i back in the days and had my brothers e46 m3 for a few months, real fun to drive.
