By tom who takes a good snap. d6GMB and craig3.2s Interlagos always look great ,
Got to be honest I think with 60k with new tyres required I think 12.8k was a little strong private , Im a little worried about the budget tyres to get it through an MOT , how bad were the last set let to go down to ?

When I was looking this is what BMW UK said would happen and my local dealer confirmed this is how they would service a low use, low mileage car. Mine had an inspection1 at 14,000 miles when an oil service would have been scheduled. No bad thing in my mind.
Just for reference i got an AUC car with a years tax, Two Years warranty, just had new brakes all round, new rear tyres and had been oil serviced when i got it @ 32000 miles for £15.5k last June.
Obviously it depends what it owes the dealer but i would ask them for all what you want and set a pric then ask them what they can get it down to with a years tax and the two years warranty.

you are putting yourself through sooo much stress with all this indescision and info bombarding you from left and right, personally i thaink that worrying about when it is due an oil service or ins 2 is irrelevant, I never let my vehicles go 12k between oil and filter changes , the indy does my due changes and inspections but i take great pleasure in doing interim oil and filter changes myself at between 5/6 k, air filter too and any other little fettling jobs that i feel comfortable doing, ie vanos filter. I am then happy in the knowledge that my m is better looked after than bmw say, its a positive selling point , and i know my car intimately and am aware and on top of any maintenance thast needs doing . peole who are not lucky enough to be a bit mechanichally minded are totally in the hands of mechs who a lot of the time do the minimum they can get away with, pull the wool over your eyes, feed you on bullshit and charge as much as they can get away with. so important to find a specialist factory trained indy who is passionate about his craft, forge a relationship with them and promote and represent them at every opportunity, so that they stay in business to continue to provide the service we hope for. remember if you talk yourself out of this one you will have to go through it all over again, 37k is great mileage, if you want a 15k you will pay more, still doesnt mean it cant blow up tomorrow, gut instinct goes a long way when car buying, you obviously want the car and havent found a better one, you could have been driving this for a week already....your call... good luck 
Looking at this one for the second time tomorrow, it's the once I referenced above with 56k miles. I have to say, the colour is really growing on me. Set of black grills and Eibach springs would set it off nicely!

Chin stroke........ I wonder ? Mmmmmmmmm
Morning guys,
Yeap it's mine Safely tucked up in the garage now after a quick wash. Away from tomorrow morning for a week so gutted I won't be able to use it. It drives really really well, interior is mint as are are the wheels. I'd say overall it's in very good condition, just doesn't quite meet my OCD standards, some areas do need some attention, but I enjoy that. Plus at the price we agree I just couldn't say no, for once I bought with my head and not heard. Still not convinced on the colour, but the paint is a little flat, I think it'll look great once I detail it. So I'll stick it up on axle stands today and get to work on it when I'm back. Jbs for the list:
- 4 Goodyear F1 A2's (265/35 and 235/40)
- Needs rear discs and pads
- Needs a new rear brake lights, might for red.
- Eibach Springs
- H&R 10mm spacers
- Fit blac grills
- ZHP Gear Knob
- Stubby Aerial
- New Wheel Centre caps
- Paint calipers
- Paint the ugly rear silencers
- Finally an OCD Machine Detail
- CDV Delete
- Wheel Alignment
- Renew MOT
p.s Not after a set of CSL's. Love them on the coupe, but look too big on the roadster
