Would you buy a BMW from Italy?

A broker found me an E70 LCI 40d that is fully optioned, and in a color I like (non-black, which is rare in France and Germany). The compelling factor is that it's an LCI 40d with low miles but priced like a pre-LCI 30d with more miles and less options. So the price is attractive.

BUT this car is from Milano. Having been on business trips to Rome, I have a bad impression of Italian driving. I imagine that they don't take care of a car as well as I or German drivers do.

What do you think? I realize that this is largely hypothetical for y'all as the Italian cars have the steering wheel on the wrong side for you.

If it's not a 7 seater, lift up the rear luggage compartment.  If there's a horses head in it steer well clear.
