Did you ever go to see the car?
I viewed and test drove it this morning at Eastern.
Suspect it's had a minor bump as the front N/S panel alignments are somewhat off. Steering alignment was also off, potentially related.
Bodywork was in very good condition given the mileage, although I see above it's had a bonnet respray. Only slight negatives I could fine are worn rubber on the brake pedal and rattle\squeak coming from the roof.
Good luck with your search.

gwatson, in relation to your couple of points, and for anyone else wanting to know, I’d already been in contact with
BobandMrg, it had a VERY minor glance in the front, I’ll include a picture, I insisted on a new bumper but it genuinely was a passing glance while parked. All damage identified by yellow arrows. Green arrow is the scratch that I’m genuinely surprised they painted the bonnet for, I thought a smart repair would have fixed no problem, it was caused by a stone coming up while on a forum run
Repair bill at Parks BMW was £2903 iirc
The piano trim, yes was scratched and I had bought carbon fibre parts to replace if I’d been keeping, they’ll go on the new one.
I also said to them about the roof and one of the parking sensors had a toys out the pram moment just before it went in, was to be fixed under warranty.
The thing that’s surprising me is the steering wheel misalignment and panel alignment being off, it most definitely wasn’t like that when it went in, the cars done 14k since the wee bump so definitely neither related to that. Did it have new tyres all round?
The rubber on the brake pedal, well all I can say is the car was driven how it was meant to be
