Very top end of the price range for a non-M E86 IMO, especially as a private sale.
I personally would expect the history (MOT and service) to be lot better for the premium, no matter how good it looks.
But I ain't buying it!
As said above go and look, the only way to get a 'feel' for a car really.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

If it makes you feel any better I'm the 12th owner of this 102k masterpiece, and it's so much car for so little money.....drives beautifully.

Thanks....unfortunately I viewed it in the rain........collecting it a week later in the rain.....not good!!! The clearcoat was in very poor condition so I spent about 2 months doing paint corrections and eventually finished up with an amazing finish. There is just one deep scratch about 2 inches long on the bonnet that I can't remove but overall I got lucky. Funny thing was I'd seen this car on autotrader for months with a plus 100k mileage and 11 owners over 15 years so dismissed it , I'd also budgeted to pay up to 12k for a nice one, but this car (1 of 3 ) was the perfect spec I was looking for so when the price dipped in the 7k bracket I just through caution to the wind and went for it. With the money I saved I decided to spent a little on refurbishment ( it had a great service and mot history which was most important). The Coupe in my opinion is such a stunning shape, love it!!
