Hi everyone. Love the look of this - any opinions on price, spec or anything else please? Also, what are the alloys? Apologies in advance for my ignorance.

Wow, that's got to be one of the lowest mileage E85's I've seen. My comments would be:

1) It's missing the heated seats which is a pretty big issue on the roadster I think. They are expensive to retrofit.
2) Can't quite work out if it has xenon's or not - looks like there might be a beam adjustment wheel next to the light switch - in which case it's std lights which are pretty dire tbh.
3) Who thought it was a good idea to smatter it with M badges??

. No matter - easily removed.

Overall though, I think for the price it's a bit of a bargain - especially as you could move the hard top on for £500 - £700 if you wanted to, which might pay for the heated seats if you ever see any come up for sale!

Good car for good money. The wheels are BMW style 125 most commonly seen on 3 series but did come as an option on the Z4 see link below:

The car looks clean and well cared for, well worth a look.

It has xenon’s. Only the one adjuster on the LCM.

Wow, that is a lovely looking E85 that has hardly been used!

Has to be worth a look at that price (despite the M badges).

The 3.0Si engine is addictive (for me anyway).

Great looking motor at not a bad price considering the mileage and including the hardtop. Looks like some sort of upgrade to the exhaust as well? Pretty sure they are not the standard pipes.

Coincidence?

Low miles, hardtop, black / red leather combo, under 10k - all good

Only negative, as mentioned already, is no heated seats

they are what the oem pipes look like minus the standard tips Dan

However, noticed it is a BOC cars near me - they have a dire rep - been loking at a car there myself - terribly presented a lot of them with rude sales staff... here take a look

That's a really kind offer thanks - I'm not far myself so will be able to visit.

Must admit I was sceptical until I took a look at BOC's high score on 290 plus reviews on the auto trader ad versus the 5 reviews on the cardealerreviews website which I guess may only get used when people are hacked off. I suppose seeing the car with own eyes has to be the best approach - let the buyer beware!
