I bought the car March 2019 as I wanted something fun for the summer that was also suitable to drive from the midlands up to the north coast 500, it was fantastic for that trip, but now it's barely getting any use and I can't really warrant keeping it sadly.
Its done 104000 miles but you wouldn't know it. When I bought it, it had a subtle lower on it just via lowering springs, however it was too harsh for my taste so I bought brand new OEM Surplex M sport springs and fitted them, when everything was in bits and I had a good inspection of all the dampers and they're in very good condition, no leaks and plenty of damping resistance still in them.
The roof is in very good condition and works perfectly, however the roof motor has not been relocated. The car has rarely been driven in the rain and is parked in a garage most of the time so I doubt that roof motor is in a bad way and I'm confident that it could be relocated without needing a replacement motor.
There is plenty of paperwork and evidence of services, I changed the oil and all the filters when I bought the car, I have the receipts etc for this.
The only thing that didn't work when I bought the car was the air conditioning, I went to have it re-gassed to find the condenser was shot, so I bought and fitted a new one myself and had the system re-gassed and it is ice cold now. The previous owner had also bought black BMW badges which had been sun damaged badly, so I have re-badged the whole car with the proper blue BMW badges which in my opinion looks miles better. The only other thing I have done is the clutch delay valve removal mod which makes it much nicer to drive.
I had some money knocked off when I bought the car because the front tyres were pretty worn Dunlup runflats and it was tramlining badly. After some research on this forum I decided to ditch the run flats on the front and fitted Pirelli P Zeros which transformed the front end, these are basically still like new with loads of tread left. The rears are quite worn and are still the Dunlop run flats.
It's a high spec model and includes; Sat Nav with the premium sound system, electric adjustable / heated leather seats, Zenon headlights, Auto wipers and reversing sensors, it also has a bluetooth phone function but sadly I haven't been able to pair it with my galaxy s8, I think the s8 is too new, it does pair perfectly with my older HTC.
2 x keys.
