Once when I bought my wife a 523i we remarked how well it had been cared for.
I looked at the log book and then the name of the original owner.
Then I called the lady to compliment her.
She was taken aback but was gracious enough.
The irony was that the dealer who sold it to us got stung by A Current Affair for tampering with odometers and shamed accordingly. He was the owner of Cars Autohaus and then Pennant Hills Ford.
