To repaint or not 540i

I found a good-excellent condition 540i with 60k miles on it.
Priced were iwant it to be.
Maintenance is documented.

My problem is that it has a 2 long scratches on the left fender that was touched up, but its too deep to not see.

The car is all original and interior is the cleanest ive seen.

I dont know if i would like to respray or not,

any advice?

Why not have the fender repainted? A good shop will be able to do that & blend it into the adjoining panels so it looks like new.

Would do it in a heartbeat if you have a good body shop. Had my E39 done and it came out perfect
