The fact you passed on it because of 2 ignitions in range 4 is IMO ridiculous. Thats my opinion and i mean no disrespect.
The peanut gallery on BaT auctions are a goldmine for this stuff. Most of them don't actually know what they're talking about but they heard someone on a BMW forum mention 911 DME reports once so now they all parrot it in a silly game of Pickier Than Thou. I saw a 997 with totally reasonable over revs maxing out at like 30 range 3s with a comment, "Too bad it was abused, that DME report will hurt the price."

the DME report is the tool for everyone who's just STARTING to learn about these cars. 99% of them are nothing to worry about

I bought my car without requesting one, and I'm sure that with my custom tune I would see something in range 4, but I've never missed a shift and the motor is strong.

You are good to go...if the PPI checks out I would not hesitate to buy a car with one slight stage 4 overrev noted in the DME. My 2 cents anywho. Having said that I would not be happy with the dealership that "transported" it.
