Need advice on Paint Thickness for new purchase

Hi everyone!

I am buying my wife a CPO X7 and I went to see it today. I tested the paint with a paint gauge and it's reading around 8mil all around except the driver's door which is around 4.6mil. I measured a brand new x7 and it measured around 4.6mil all around.

I don't see evidence of paintwork, is there any way the extra thickness is from a detail job/wax? The paint felt very smooth. And I'm also confused why the driver's door is the only panel that is 4.6mil like factory.

Thanks for any help, I have until tomorrow to decide and I'm super confused.
