Yeah I do agree I may have paid 2k or 3k to much but the interior was really mint...
N55's are also known for spinning rod bearings, early models 2010/2011.
There are plenty of internal notes that change the N55 over the years, BMW knew its a problem and slowly pushed changes in the engine to the later 2012 and F-chassis engines.

Just pray that BMW did not use the same rod bearing tolerances in the 2010/2011 N54.

2010/2011 was the year they switched suppliers for the rod bearings and that's why you see so many 2011 M3's and 2011 N55 cars blowing up.
