As a long time Sport owner, I don't see the point in spending £10k on low mileage car that you won't want to use. I'd rather buy a decent 325ise and use and abuse it.

As above, if it's the sunroof panel itself then you might be ok, however they normally rot from the inside out, so be prepared for rot in the sunroof tray and roof itself.....if that's the case then it's frag time or the world's first touring speedster!!!! :mad: :D
