Mileage is approx. 66k, MOT until June 2020 (no advisories, will put it through fresh MOT, if I find a buyer sooner), HPI clear. I’m the third owner and live in Basingstoke, Hampshire.

The car has got a stamped service book, but the previous owner did not keep any receipts. In my ownership, I have upgraded it sensibly and maintained it to a high standard, with receipts for parts and services for more than £3,500.

Cosmetic Condition
The car was garaged for most of its life and visually the bodywork and paint is in good condition. There are a few small “trolley” dents around the car and some bumper scuffs. The alloys were split and refurbished last year, and still look very good. No structural rust underneath the car, happy to lift it for any inspection. I have posted close-ups of the blemishes on https://photos.app.goo.gl/L6PyctYyzeAhs8TG7
The interior is in very presentable condition, with no tears or scratches. I have touched up the driver bolster and fitted new BMW floor mats. The steering wheel controls have few rub marks on them though.
Spec

- Heated M Sport seats

It’s a sorted car in good condition, which should need no money spent on it for a while. I’m sure the new owner will get plenty more fun and reliable miles from it. While not concourse, I think it does not look half bad for 14 years. I’ve probably forgotten to include something, so I’m happy to answer any questions or have a chat about the car.
The asking price is £5,250, but I’m open to some negotiation after viewing the car. If it doesn't sell, I will enjoy it for one more summer.
