Just browsing Autotrader out of boredom for cars I can't afford and come across this 70 plate E63, the bonnet gap looks terrible and on the 9th pic the wing/bumper alignment does too. Is it possible the dealer crashed it then badly repaired it without mentioning it? It hardly looks like factory gaps

2 bonnet catches and offside one not fully closed? Our S90 does that - need to press on lhs of bonnet after dropping it closed.

As above the bonnet isn't fully shut.

On both my recent Merc's - a C and and E Class I've had to adjust the left hand bonnet latch to get both sides of the bonnet to close properly first time.

It's very easy to do - they're threaded on one side with a nut so half a turn on the nut sorts it, but they don't seem to check at factory or when PDI at the dealer.
