It looks good condition for mileage. Problem with buying a car at this mileage is that for piece of mind I would be spending £1000+ off the bat. Its at the point where it will need preventative maintenance imo at that price point its just not worth it. Its teetering on that point where if the mileage gets much higher it will be in 100+ and from watching the market they just don't sell and moving it on will be a problem, also Ok it gets a 6 month warranty but unless its a BMW warranty how much is it worth... if its a warranty direct then completely worthless. At nearly 14k for a car that's 11 years old with 82k and average doing 6-8k in the car it will be at 100k in no time. Regardless of how bullet proof they are compared to other cars in the bracket you cant get away from the fact that the money needs to be spent. 11 year old rubber engine mounts etc... worth baring in mind before thinking they are great value.
Like Andy says this is becoming the norm. It will be a great driver but its not much of a keeper. At <12k it would be a good buy imo.
Every M for sale ATM has issues, be that crap, late or missing history, mileage, wear in places you don't expect, questionable items like tyres which makes you wonder what else has been skimped on, silly modifications, high mileage and most silly money. Suppose its because like the E46 M3s a few years ago they hit such a cheap price point that they were in the sights of a lot of people that maybe didn't realise the importance and cost of maintenance. Now they are increasing in value lots of specialist dealers are jumping on the bandwagon and every car is at a premium and with the above issue makes buying one now a minefield.
After viewing a few cars now and watching for over 12 months just feels like
