Did you ever have the urge to jump of a balcony?

Just to see what would happen?

That's kind of how I'm feeling about this listing.

Hmm. Did you see the link in the comments to the auto salvage place?

Yeah, so I looked up "BMW" and found an x3 that was salvaged that looks to have similar damage to ours.

EDIT: make that two other x3's with a similar level of front-end damage.

Yes. Which just makes me realize that this is a very high balcony.

What, exactly is even remotely appealing about a 928?
