Thoughts on this 2nd hand car?

I've been umming and ahhing about changing out my car. Had a look at some 330i's and then 335i's followed by an S4 but all along I've secretly longed for something else. I'm going to drop my son off to Coventry uni next week and could pop along to go and see this

Any thoughts, it does seem to loaded with a few options, also the last pic of the door with the speaker, is that some optional system or just the standard audio?

I know the general consensus re mileage on these forums but if I go ahead with this this will be the first car I'll have purchased with what I would call high mileage, for example when I purchased my current Accord it only had 13k on the clock so I think I need words of assurance?

According to the spec, the car has a Harmon Kardon sound system upgrade which is BMW spec upgrade option IIRC.

Good God what an idiot I am. Now that you've posted the above I can see it mentioned in the first few lines of the description, honestly I read and re-read and looked at the specs list over and over again and for some reason I was searching/looking for Bose or B & O.

Perfect mileage, it's cheap because it's a bit high but still eligible for the lower rate BMW warranty.

This might all go to pot, my wife decided to see what other colours the M3 comes and has as a result discovered that it's 4.0 litres

What did you tell her before, that it's 2? :O

Tell her your buying a replica. Or just point your finger in her face and tell her to shut the **** up and mind her business.

Then run.

Why would she care? As long as it's the right colour!

Sounds like she needs trading in too!

More litres are never a bad thing! :cool:

You need the extra power to accelerate from danger, plus maybe fracking will drop petrol prices
