The 35iS looks good, a few toys and mid range stereo, BUT…… for me standard non heated seats would put me off. Living in the U.K. I think heated seats is a must for maximum use and enjoyment of a roadster.
MOT history good but cracked wheel. You’d need to see if repaired or replaced. Early 296’s prone to cracking unfortunately, especially on runflats, which this appears to be.
If everything else checked out and if new seats wanted you were prepared to spend circa £700 for a replacement set and £600 for replacement tyres
Thank you for that - will have to ask the question and see if there is any paperwork of it being repaired/replaced, listing is only 35mins away, so might pop and have a look. Where would i look to get replacement seats? heated seats are always nice to have
looking around this morning between work and meetings part of me is leaning towards the S35is but might change as the days/weeks/months of searching for the right one
Definitely worth a look if that close
Seats would just be usual places like forum, eBay, known breakers etc. Forum is also a good place to pick up wheels with tyres if that’s something you’d consider, especially if wheel still damaged. The seats particularly could wait since the summer, cough cough, is nearly upon us so wouldn’t be as crucial in the first instance imo
Since you’re considering a 3.0 E86 as well so obviously happy with that engine if I was you this would be absolutely at the top of my list. It will be immaculately presented, being sold by a really genuine guy, and there won’t be anything on it that needs addressed not done. It also has some very nice upgrades like the new suspension. Would be where my money would be going
Just either teach the Mrs to drive it or don’t let her use it

Thats a great suggestion Andy, TB looks after his cars and I am surprised this one has not shifted already with the option on it and the work done to it

I have a manual e86 with just over 120k miles but in excellent condition in Cheshire if you’d be interested?

If you’re serious then you can have our Z4M roadster for 13000. Treasured car and looked after better than some children 
If you’re interested let me know
