Yes there's documentation showing it was scratched under license plate and cosmetic repaint only blah blah, agree no way to guarantee it.
What vehicle do you drive?

I’ve had it before. I like it as a contrast against a dark colored exterior. Requires cleaning but nothing difficult or unnecessary.

Apparently BMW Vernasca is more machine now than man... Twisted and evil... I mean apparently mostly synthetic with tons of heavy coatings so not as bad.

Use a good cleaner and sealer/conditioner often.
The OEM Volvo leather kit is top tier - I till pop in and buy it every now and then even through I traded the XC90. It has some crazy good reviews from when I looked into things a few years ago.

Are you a 60+ year old white male with a receding hairline and a waist size above 36? What are you doing looking at Corvettes? So many better cars for the money.

There are very few affordable 2 seat cars that come with manual transmissions in the US, so I decided to try driving one.
I'm going to buy a G29 Z4 most likely.

We talk about the hard time finding someone who can even competently work on a car. Just had to have the fuel pump on my wife's car replaced and a crack on the exhaust header welded... A touch over $1200 to get that done. But it's a great shop that even by name is for "imports" but it turns out will work on a lowly Ford if asked....

If you are going to keep it "forever", it's worth considering if it's at a discount. I would have it inspected at a third party shop though, so they could put it up on a lift to make sure the dealer is being honest. If the dealer refuses to let you take it to a second shop on the test drive, then fuck that dealer. To find a reputable shop in your/their area that knows the car/brand, look on bimmerforums.com (think that's the best one for BMW(?)).
Also, is the Z4 the only model they didn't put a retarded grill on? It actually still looks nice.

Do you like to wear jeans? I drove a loaner vehicle for a few months with white leather and was starting to see the blue transfer over. It looks really nice new or if you're OCD about keeping up with cleaning it. I would personally only consider it if I was really into detailing (I'm not). If you want a contrasting color that holds up a bit better, I like the deeper browns a lot of OEMs are doing now.

I wouldn't do white either, too much worry about marking it up. That brown is on the red side for my taste, but I can appreciate any well designed interior.Do you like to wear jeans?

There is probably some product that does a great job protecting white leather seats, but you might need to spend numerous hours researching it on autogeak.com. Furthermore, I think BMW still uses higher quality pure leather, instead of the plastic coated stuff the US and some Asian automakers put in their cars. While the plastic coated stuff may have other draw back, it at least helps protect against permanent marring.
As an aside, I've always been partial to black and tan, regardless of the exterior color!

NEVER get an even remotely good looking or new car for a kids first car. I thought that was basic enough rule 1 type shit that this video would be the norm, not on twitter.
In my family the assumption is that they will ALWAYS total their first car, usually within a year. I think as long as I've been alive it's been wrong MAYBE twice.

I saved up to buy a Chevelle, parents gave me permission to buy it when I had enough money.NEVER get an even remotely good looking or new car for a kids first car. I thought that was basic enough rule 1 type shit that this video would be the norm, not on twitter.
In my family the assumption is that they will ALWAYS total their first car, usually within a year. I think as long as I've been alive it's been wrong MAYBE twice.
I came home one day and there was a used GM 4 door shitbox in the driveway. Dad said I owed him $3500, there went my Chevelle money. Little 4 banger that couldn't do 80. A wise move on his part. He told me not to wreck it. If I did, I'd be walking. My sister got a new Honda. No real mystery to me who their favorite child was.
A few guys in HS got really cool cars. One got a fully restored 69 Camaro SS for his birthday. I drove past it in the winter, it was sitting in the ditch all kinds of fucked up. Got drunk and ruined it. Never saw him or the car again. Guy down the street got a 70's Firebird of some kind. New red paint, custom interior and $$$$ stereo. I bumped into his dad a few years later, found out he thrashed the car, sold it for next to nothing and tore out the stereo system for whatever reason and sold it for a few hundred. It was a drunk dad makeup gift, so no real surprise why he did what he did.

I was given a 79 Monte Carlo as a hand my down when my grandfather bought my grandmother a new ride. It survived almost 2 years before my overly adventurous driving style outdid it's durability.... But by that point at least I build resistance to my own stupid impulses that my second car, bought with my own money, lasted until I decided to part ways with it. (66 Mustang, rebuilt and put the engine in it myself at 18. sold because whereas I loved how fast it was, I loved the car, I got into the workforce and needed something I didn't spend a day a week tuning/working on.).... (and yes I still regret getting rid of it.)I saved up to buy a Chevelle, parents gave me permission to buy it when I had enough money.

Never buy your kid a car, period. Make them work for it, and stop chauffeuring them to anything but school/sports functions. That's why my first car lasted over a year, almost two!NEVER get an even remotely good looking or new car for a kids first car.

A few close calls in that first year though, and in the first month I split a tire sidewall doing donuts in a subdivision that recently had the curbs poured (but still had leveled dirt in the cul-de-sac where the road would be). It was a $2500 early 80s Mustang V8 (the ugliest Mustangs ever built), so it was looking for trouble. Ironically, I wasn't doing anything aggressive/reckless when I wrecked it.
Also, I already knew how to drive aggressively, as we had a "fast" youth midget racer when I was a kid.
