This 2000 BMW 528iT wagon had pretty abused paint when we bought it a few months ago with 58,000 miles.

This photo shows the car after Clay,Menzerna IP, FP, 3M IHG, P21S.

Other than a small nick or two the car looks brand new!

2001-2003's were 525iT's. I think the previous owner just did a facelift - it has a M5 grille instead of the proper six-cylinder one. Nice wagon! It makes me miss my old one... is it manual? Any pictures of the interior?

I wondered if anyone would catch this!!

Actually the car is a 2000 528iT as stated. When purchased there were quite a few rock chips on the hood and front fenders. I wanted to paint the front end to get rid of the damage so I did a complete 2003 cosmetic conversion at the same time. This included new headlights, M5 grille, front bumper cover with new style bullet fog lights and painted side moulding.

I also upgraded from the stock 16" rims to the 2002 sport package style 17"

Here are the evolution pics:
