Not only have the main preventative maintenance jobs been done but they were only completed in the last few months before the most recent owner jumped ship in to a new Toyota Supra.
It looks a well sorted car but is it worth £3,200 more than than one advertised on Autotrader and on this Forum which as had some really good preventative maintenance done in recent months?
it's Carbon Black which means it has the gloss mirror triangles
I just noticed this and never knew about this before! Was this only for cars in Carbon Black?

All the individual metallics came with the gloss mirror triangles - so in addition to Carbon Black there was Ruby Black and Midnight Blue.

I thought it looked a decent buy for £19,995. There was a higher mileage one advertised privately for £19,450 on the same day!

I think the bits mentioned above actually devalue these cars…

That looks like a very nice car - makes me realise I got very lucky with my Interlagos blue coupe that I purchased recently that has had all the same work done and came with KWv3s and ARC8s too.

Your Coupe looks stunning and interlagos blue could be my second favourite M car colour, after imola red of course.
