Ride height- Does this look normal?

Blocks in the springs to avoid them being bounced on the transporter too much. They would have been broken even earlier than they are now ...
 
The pictures on the BMW car website are from when the car was brand new, hence why it looks like that in the photos.
As I say I didn't notice it in the flesh as it were.... Whats everyone think of the price? :)

Pull the trigger as in pay a deposit, then go see the car ? If so, make sure it is refundable.
 
Original OTR list price for this car was £36,625 (adding up all the options).

I would say its low-medium spec, take out the nav and its definitely low spec.

15k under average mileage for the age.
Wisebuyers value it at Retail: £12,063 (not including options but adjusting for mileage)

I value it at : £12,432 taking into consideration Options, Mileage and thats its an AUC car.

Personally in this weather, I would be going into the dealer expecting £500 off list as I entered and up to £1500 off list as I got on mine last year..

Here are some of my calculations (not all): Please note - the other 3 cars listed on there are from last years prices!!

That is some incredible spreedsheet work you've done, I'm not too bothered about the missing extras, PDC would be nice but probably isn't essential. Thank you for putting that together
I'd also say it looks like it has sun protection glass?
I'm open to suggestions as to alternative ones but its got to have NAV, and not be a private sale - I've got a car to chop in.
 
I'm struggling to find any cars with a better spec within the same price point. There's an 07 plate at Sytner in Birmingham but the bonnet blatantly doesn't meet the offside wing/headlight correctly.

There was some discussion on the forum about this car. It looks as though it may have been owned by forum member Lucy. If so it was involved in an accident cat D I think previously.

Could be the bonnet was not closed properly. The number of times photos like that have been posted on here is huge but the buyer sees it as crash damage.

It was involved in an accident, but was not written off, so not Cat D.
 
I'm hoping the other major error is that its got a roof. Cars that have those "faux roofs" tend not to last long round here :P
