Overall a wonderful car which has been very enjoyable, only thing it could benefit from now is some bodywork (N/ S rear arch bubbling) and a polish.
There is lots of history with the car, receipts dating back to the early 2000s where it was looked after by a specialist until 2019.
Only reason for sale is I am interested in buying a newer M car, not in any rush so I’m after a cash sale and no silly offers please.
£22, 995 ONOI absolutely love this car and didn’t plan to sell but I now have an itch for something a bit more modern I can daily.
The interior is beautiful and very clean which was my main reason for initially purchasing this specific car.
