Why fail?

That seller has had a few cars on BaT, mostly nicely kept BMWs.

That’s a lot of chassis miles but looks like a nice rig.

My first thought was that I wanted it. But there's definitely something strange about how that car looks.

The fender flares are a bit much and I'm not a fan of the interior color, but nothing else looks "strange."

The AWD part is, IMO, what makes it most interesting and worth living with the flares and interior color.

278k miles on the chassis, though...

I wonder how much horsepower the xi system can take? or in the case of this car, how many more miles. At 278K miles, it might just be a ticking time bomb.

Looks like fun though
