I'm not sure about 1). I had a 95 525i that I recently traded in for a 540i. I did not have a problem like this. As for 16k, the dealer gave me 18k for my 525 but it only had 45k miles on it. Seats were leatherette not leather though. There is a black plastic triangle on the rear deck, thats the antenna.

Need some advice re buying a '95 525ia premium package, keyless entry, practically new tires, Champagne, with 82k. One owner. All appears to be in great condition -mechanic to check out Monday. I have three questions:
1) On the top front of the engine (closest to radiator) is a band of silver/gray painted metal which wraps downward on the passenger side. The paint has peeled somewhat on the top. (You can see an example of what I am talking about, only much worse, on a '95 525i for $19,995 on www.diamondluxury.com) I have seen cars with more mileage than this specimen that did not have this issue. The question is: is this indicative of a past and/or present problem?
2) Second question: any input on price at $16k?
3) Third question: where is the radio antenna? Owners manual did not cough up the info. I seem to remember reading somewhere that they are embedded somewhere?
Thank you all for any words of wisdom, advice and help.
